I *thought* I did too. 
But...
Last week I really blew it. I was using my PB-Edit to develop itself.
I knew of a rare bug that once before clobbered the source file. But
it was rare, so I simply added automatic backup generation.
Well, it happened again, but I didn't get to the backup soon enough.
Both files of my source code for the IDE, clobbered! And worst of all,
the ZIP file archive was corrupted (bad floppy)!
I was beside myself. I mean really pissed! All I had was a four week
old archive, that that was next to no good. It took me four days to
re-write that sucker. Did I learn my lesson? Let's hope so. 
Well, the up side is that this version is much better than the other
one, and more importantly, I found that damn bug. SPLAT! That wouldn't
be dogging me ever again.It's outta
Anyway, everything's back to normal, I think. And, what I need to do
is write the documentation.
