- ABOUT THIS PACKAGE
-
- This package provides all the information necessary to write drop-in
- code modules to extend BBEdit, versions 2.2 and later (including
- BBEdit Lite).
-
- The extensions that you build with this kit will be compatible with
- all versions of BBEdit that support the extensions mechanism.
-
- - The “Writing BBEdit Extensions” document contains information
- about the extension interface to BBEdit: how to construct
- extensions, how to use the BBEdit callback interface, and so on.
- It’s basically an excerpt from the BBEdit 2.5 manual, with some
- modifications to make it backward-compatible to older versions.
-
- You’ll need Microsoft Word 4.0 or later to read or print this
- document; alternatively, any application which is capable of
- reading Microsoft Word files will work fine, but you may lose
- formatting information.
-
- - The “BBEdit Extensions” folder contains built versions of the
- standard extensions supplied with BBEdit. It’s supplied here
- simply for convenience.
-
- - The “Extension Sources” folder contains the source, project,
- and library files needed to construct BBEdit extensions. The
- sources are included for all of the extensions in the “BBEdit
- Extensions” folder.
-
- The current version of BBEdit is BBEdit Lite 2.3. It’s available
- for anonymous FTP from world.std.com, in /ftp/pub/bbedit. It can
- also be found on sumex.stanford.edu, in /info-mac/text, and in the
- download libraries of CIS (the ZMC:DOWNTECH, SYMDEV, and MACDEV
- forums, in particular), and various other online services.
-
- A demo version of BBEdit 2.5 is also available from the same
- locations. (On Sumex, it can be found in /info-mac/demo.)
