14-08-2006: Version 0.7.2 has been released. An update with many small enhancements and bugfixes.
10-05-2006: Version 0.7.1 has been released. This is a big update with many new features, but is not well tested. Also a new version of YAZ is available. Use this new version with BibEdt 0.7.

If you still use Windows 95 there may be a need to update some files. These are:

VC++ and MFC runtime libraries, get them from MS here.
Common Controls may also be downloaded from MS here.

That should be all, it does not need anything else. But I do not guarantee that this program runs flawlessly on such old systems. I run this program on Windows NT 4 with SP 6a and it works just fine.

What does this stupid program do?: In general, a program can't be stupid, a program does only what it's told to. Either the programmer is stupid or the user is. You can use this program to edit BibTeX files, that's all.
This program crashes sometimes, was this intended?: No.
And how about freezing?: No.
Other bugs?: No.
The ugly interface?: Yes.
Are there better programs that do the same?: Check out JabRef or BibDesk if you use Mac.
Do you add feature XXX?: Open a feature request at the SourceForge project page.
Do you fix bug XXX?: Make a bug report at the project page.
Is there really a need for this program?: Is there a need for any program???
What the hell is wrong with the homepage? It has a completely insane design, it's almost unuseable!!!: Yeah! You like it too :-).

1 How about wxWidgets for the future? It is easier to use, isn't it? Does this ammount to a rewrite from scratch? Hm, so many questions and no answers… Well, I checked it out and will do some investigations here!
