This is an appalling attempt at an application. If you value your system integrity, DO NOT INSTALL this application.

1: It overwrites your existing TextEdit application without notification. The new application keeps the TextEdit name but will no longer launch.
Additionally the icon in the dock renames to Babya E Type, even thought a get info on the application confirms the name is TextEdit.

2: It install a folder called TextEdit in the applications folder that contains all manner of stuff, including a read me file.

3: It installs a folder called Babya E Type in the applications folder containing the Babya E Type application. This application does not launch either.

4: Both the re-written TextEdit and the Babya E Type applications are version 3.0 and Universal Binary.

I had to trash TextEdit and reinstall it from the Tiger install disc using Pacifist.

This is the very first time I've given an application a 'do not install' rating. It's not a bad application, it's appalling. Give it a very very wide berth.

My config: PB G4 Ti 867, 1 GB, 40 GB, Combo, OS X 10.4.6

do NOT install this application - aafuss

Crl-click on "Install Babya E-Type" in the mounted disk image.
In the window that appears, double click on Archive.pax.gz to expand the file.
Copy Babya E-Type from "Archive" to a new folder.

See if this causes any problems.
