Can I run both versions at the same time?
My guess is "yes" but the only risk is whether the preferences files are the same, and how BBedit behaves if two instances have the same plist file open at the same time? > I suppose in the worst case I could run 8.7.2 on another machine and use > screen sharing to compare, but that's less than ideal. Back up Library/Preferences/com.barebones* and give it a try. BBEdit doesn't have to run out of the Applications folder. I suggest first time you run 9.5 that you not let it install the command line tool until you decide its a keeper. -- David Kelly N4HHE, [email protected] ======================================================================== Whom computers would destroy, they must first drive mad. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the "BBEdit Talk" discussion group on Google Groups.
