Plus version of Edita?  I only know about the regular version.  Could you
enlighten me on the plus version's features? 

I picked Crimson because 1.  I like using it, it's a very handy editor, 2. It's
a very small 1MB setup file, 3. Um well there is no 3.

I've been known to do that before. 
I still think having a single package you DL is easier for both me and the
person downloading it.
Btw, Andy Drummond's bound version will be the one included, not the complete
source version.
