ActiveDevelopers Demo mode has almost Full functionality enabled - but in Limited amounts - with the goal, that you should be able to get around each DEMO in a Separate Launch of ActiveDeveloper.

Only Save, Cut, Copy, Paste and Opening Files dating in the Future are disabled in Demo mode ...
You will notice - Beep sounds - when you try one of these.

    Note: PB.project and Makefile files aren't portable cross Apple and NeXT. If you need to convert
    between these, please use the "Conversion Ability" found in ActiveDeveloper's Preference Panel ...
