Need Text Edit for Mac OSX Tiger

[Marc-B0T 2.0]

Greetings,

I wanted to know if there's any fellow Mac user out there running under OSX Tiger who could send me a copy of the TextEdit application that comes with it standard.

I deleted mine when I didn't pay attention to a bunch of applications I dragged into the trash. Just cleaning out apps I never use, but multi-highlighted one too many.

I don't have an installation disk on hand or anything of that nature, and will be backing up what remaining applications I have.

Thanks,

You could just get another free text editor. I like Textwrangler and Smultron. For some types of files, OmniOutliner works.

Text Edit can do things that none of the other free text editors can do.

Bean is built on TextEdit source., and free, too!

Hi Curiosity,

Thanks for your suggestion, however I'm really intent on getting the Mac version. I realize that there are many free text editors out there and am sure that there are some really good ones. I've heard good reports about Smultron from reading a similar thread.

I may end up getting something Smultron anyway, but still prefer to have the original TextEdit as well.

Thanks again,
Marcus

Use "Pacifist" (easily found with a simple Google search) and extract the original TextEdit.app bundle from your Mac OS X install CD/DVD.

I was going to suggest that very thing, until I read the part of the OP's message where he states...
"I don't have an installation disk on hand"
