BBEdit
" The Bare-Bones Text Editor "

>
>  This version of BBEdit is the first public release of a program
> that has been over two years in the making.
>  During that time, BBEdit has undergone continuous refinement and
> improvement.
>
>
> BBEdit offers the following as its strengths:
>
>   * High quality. BBEdit has achieved a remarkable level of
> stability for freeware; it has received years of in-house and
> external testing. The user interface is the result of extensive user
> feedback and polishing.
>
>   * File size limited only by available memory. BBEdit's default
> partition size is 512K of RAM. This can be set as low as 256K, to
> make BBEdit the ideal constantly-resident editor for small to
> moderate tasks, or turned up as high as necessary to edit many large
> files or perform large-scale search-and-replace operations.
>
>   * No hard limit on number of files open. The number of files that
> BBEdit can have open at once is limited by available memory, and can
> be increased or decreased by adjusting BBEdit's partition size as
> appropriate.
>
>   * Easy manipulation of multiple files at once. An "Open Several "
> command makes it possible to open multiple files from different
> folders at once, and the Save and Print commands can operate on all
> open files at once. Multi-file searches can also be limited to the
> set of open files.
>
>   * Strong multi-file search capabilities. Under System 7.0, BBEdit
> can use On Location� 2.0 as a search engine for fast, large-scale
> searches. A "Batch Mode" provides a way to accumulate search results
> for easy viewing and browsing. BBEdit can also search by straight
> directory scan, examining open windows, or examining the search
> results. A "Find and Replace All Matches" feature provides
> capability for multiple-file search and replace.
>
>   * Pattern ("grep") searching. Matching patterns can be constructed
> so that strings other than exact literal matches can be found and
> replaced; for example, converting Pascal comments to C comments, or
> locating all occurrences of strings which begin with a "P" and end
> with "er".
>
>   * System 7 awareness. Besides supporting all of the basic System 7
> functionality such as 32-bit mode, virtual memory, and the like,
> BBEdit also takes advantage of specific System 7 functionality
> wherever possible in order to either improve performance or to
> improve its appearance. This is done without sacrificing System 6
> compatibility. BBEdit also includes help balloons for most of its
> menus and dialogs.
>
>   * High performance. Try and enjoy.
>

>
> A Note About Shareware vs. Freeware
>
> I have released a number of shareware programs over time, and I have
> found that the cash return is so small as to be useless. From a
> user's point of view, I object to being "guilt-tripped" into sending
> some tiny amount of money for a program, and I can see no
> justifiable reason to expect others to do what I'm no longer willing
> to do. For these and other reasons, I am releasing BBEdit as
> "freeware": I ask for no money for the right for others to use it
> and give it away. My reward will come, hopefully, in the form of
> letters asking me to enhance it, and in seeing BBEdit become a
> widespread general-purpose text editor. ?Rich Siegel
