prime-time. Crashes often under Classic/MacOS X. Open File dialog defaults to listing only Alpha-created files, and there's currently no way to change this default, which makes it very inconvenient for editing stuff not produced by Alpha. Bottom line: Wait for the carbonized version, or stick with the 7.x version. But when they finally get this right, it'll be _the_ editor for OS X!
