![]() ![]() This was no problem with the Mac IIcx/Rocket (32 MB) and the LC III (20 MB) but worked less well on the PowerBook 170 (8 MB). BBEdit ran equally well on all platforms, but is the most useful when there is plenty of memory available to have all the above Apple event-savvy applications loaded and running. I have used BBEdit version 2.5 in conjunction with Symantec C++ 6.0, Think Reference 2.0, and the MPW ToolServer on several Macintosh platforms – a Mac IIcx with Radius Rocket 25i, a Mac LC III, and a PowerBook 170 – all running System 7.1. I have used BBEdit 2.5 since the release of the Symantec C++ compiler and will, for the most part, be reviewing this commercial version of the product. You will be working with a stable, well-written text editor that has been fine-tuned for software development. You won’t be inserting any graphics or QuickTime movies into BBEdit – nor will you be changing the font or font style every other paragraph. BBEdit is not a word processor in the sense of Nisus or Word. BBEdit is a text-only editor well-suited for software developers. BBEdit has too many features for me to completely cover them all in the space of this review, but I will try to cover those that I found most interesting.įirst, let’s talk a little about what BBEdit is. Unlike BBEdit Lite 2.3, BBEdit 2.5 is the commercial version of BBEdit (yes – you pay for this one – but it is worth it!) and sports a host of new features not available in previous versions. BBEdit Lite has everything that 2.2 has, except:īare-Bones Software released BBEdit 2.5 about the time of the Apple World Wide Developers conference. It is, however, the official freeware version of BBEdit – version 2.2 is no longer supported. BBEdit Lite 2.3 is a smaller version of BBEdit 2.2 but lacks some of the features of 2.2. ![]() Not only was it free, but there was an Internet address for support: Since then, two other versions of BBEdit have become available: BBEdit Lite 2.3 and BBEdit 2.5. I first started using BBEdit 2.2 about six months ago and was impressed with all of the features available in this freeware package from Bare-Bones Software.
