[continued] capability for automated "seek and destroy" operations. ~ Built-in compare utility for determining and viewing the differences between any two text files. ~ Automatic linefeed translation for easy viewing and editing of files created by DOS and Unix~ systems. BBEdit also offers the following: ~ File size limited only by available memory. BBEdit's default partition size is 512K of RAM. This can be set as low as 350K, 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. If you're running under System 7.0, BBEdit automatically takes advantage of available system memory, so that you don't have to adjust its partition size to edit large files. ~ No hard limit on number of files open. The maximum number of open files depends on the amount of available memory to contain the text of the files you have open. ~ Easy manipulation of multiple files at once. The "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. ~ 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 converting C++ comments to C comments. ~ 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. Some of BBEdit's advanced features, such as the ToolServer and On Location interfaces, require System 7.
