Those great folks over at Bare Bones shipped the CD and manual on 7 November and it arrived on Tuesday 13 November.

It's now installed and I eagerly await having the time to explore its new capabilities.

One issue was that Frontier could no longer install the shared menu 'Site' that I use to marry BBEdit and Frontier together in terms of rendering pages, etc. This was a real bummer until it dawned on me that BBEdit's script menu allows a user to write their own scripts and have these incorporated into the menu bar. Since Frontier's UserTalk is an OSA-compliant scripting language it was a simple matter of exporting the relevant scripts from my Frontier BBSite guest database and copying these into a scripts sub-folder. Worked like a charm. I can now render pages, etc., by harnessing Frontier's page generation capabilities from within BBEdit. Awesome!!
