Glider Edit is an editor for the games Glider Pro and Glider 4 for the mac. Glider Edit allows you to edit saved game for Glider Pro and Glider 4, and can also lock and unlock Glider Pro houses.
Glider Edit is only usefull if you got Glider or Glider Pro, which are released in the public domain by their author, John Calhoun, after their publisher, Casady & Greene, went out of business in July 2003.
Glider Edit is public domain, and is no longer maintained. This website may disappear by 2008. For questions, my e-mail address is glider @ macfreek.nl.

Glider Edit is available on the net at:

programs like Stuffit Expander or Compact Pro.
If your browser, instead of downloading the file, displays it (it looks like unreadable text), just select 'Save as...' from the File menu. You should still be able to extract it using Stuffit Expander or Compact Pro.
Oh yeah, the easter eggs. There are three different kind of easter eggs in the program. One (simple) in the Saved Game dialog box, one which shows a secret dialog, and quite a lot which has to do with opening certain files. Go ahead and find out. You may find some clues in the resources, or maybe not.
I can't seem to find many Glider Houses on the Web. Does somebody know were to get them? I had some requests for more houses, but I don't have that much. Hopefully one of you will make an on-line collection of Glider Pro houses. As a start, I made a page with all description with houses I have or heard about. I hope you are willing to pick this up (sorry, I don't have the time to do it myself). If so, please let me know, and maybe I can give you some advise.
