Excuse me, but BBEdit is NOT shareware, there is the full BBEdit which is a
fine Commercial Application and there is BBEdit Lite which is Free. Maybe the
Free version is meant? :-}

The last version that would run on a 68k Mac was known as Anarchie Pro,
Anarchie was the original name and then the name was changed to Interarchy,
but it was a Ppc only application by then.

Macs are just fine with Disinfectant and WormScanner, for one thing I haven't
had a virus in 10 years. Last time I had one was when I was going to
