The Macs are from 2008 and running I believe 10.6.8.

I can double check that when I get to work, but I am right now working on a 2007 Mac running 10.6.8 so the ones at work might be running a slightly newer version, but they are definitely running OS 10 something.

I hope that helps somewhat but I will report back when I get back to work on Monday.

I really appreciate everyone's suggestions so far.

Hello,

It is easier to offer suggestions if you narrow down as best as you can
your meaning of "older macs". ;-) Like David Mayo mentioned Text
Wrangler (BBEdit?) will work for the PPC Macs. The Sublime Text and
Atom.io "expect you to have a new (even I don't have a definition so I
feel your pain ;-)) Mac.

I'd say start with what version of Macintosh OS are the running.

Cheers and welcome.
