└───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
TurboEDIT is an online message editor designed to allow users to post
messages to other users quickly and easily, with most (if not all) of
the benefits of a standard text editor. Just a few of TurboEDIT's
many features include:
■» Text-editor style editing keys
■» Full-featured quoting options
■» Taglines
■» Message censoring
■» Phrase expansions (i.e. "l8r" expands to "Later!", etc)
■» Tagline keyword searching (users can search for certain taglines)
■» 100% configurable colors (user-config and SysOp-config)
■» Group-specific lockouts (keep certain users out of certain echos)
■» Supports Mail Reader style tagline macros (i.e. @N@ = Username)
■» User-defineable taglines
■» Separate configuration for EACH USER!
■» Registration is NOT MANDATORY! (possibly the BEST feature! =])

■» Disclaimer
As a formality, this had to be included. TurboEDIT *should* be safe
to use on just about any IBM or compatible, but...
TurboEDIT comes with no warranty of any kind, either express or
implied, including but not limited to implied warranties of mer-
chantability and fitness for a particular purpose, with respect to
this software and accompanying documentation. In no event shall
Steve Blinch, Michael Helliker, or any other member of Mikerosoft
Productions be liable for any damages (including loss of business
profits, business interruption, loss of business information, or
other pecuniary loss) arising out of the use or inability to use
this software, even if Mikerosoft Productions has been advised of
the possibility of such damages. The execution of TEDIT.EXE or any
other executable packaged with TurboEDIT signifies your agreement to
the above terms.
■» Distribution
TurboEDIT may be freely distributed and used provided that the
following conditions are met:
1) TurboEDIT must be distributed and/or used UNALTERED, with all
documentation and support files.
2) The TurboEDIT executables may not be modified, disassembled,
cross-assembled, re-assembled, or in any way changed without
express written permission from the author (Steve Blinch).
3) Only the UNREGISTERED version of TurboEDIT may be distributed.
Registered copies (and/or registration keys) may NOT, for any
purpose, be used by any person other than the person to whom
the key belongs.
4) It is preferred that the original compression style (the RAR self
extractor) is maintained. However, if absolutely necessary, the
compression format may be changed (perferrably to the regular RAR
format, but if a change to another archiver is necessary, so be
it.)
┌───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ ░░░░░ │ Authenticity Verification │ ░░░░░ │
└───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
Due to a recent switch to the RAR archiver, our archives now have AV
(Authenticity Verification) signatures. When you run the TurboEDIT
self-extractor (TE????.EXE), the TurboEDIT logo should come up, and
then you should see the following:
─[cut]───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────

Extracting (filename) Ok
.

Done
─[cut]───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
If the AV signature is missing, the verification fails, or our name
(Mikerosoft Productions) does not appear as shown above, the software
has been altered since we released it.

│ ░░░░░ │ NOTICE!!! │ ░░░░░ │
└───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
TurboEDIT has been designed to be useable with many different BBS
systems. As long as they produce MSGTMP. and DORINFO1.DEF/DOOR.SYS,
TurboEDIT should work with them.
However, we have added special additional features for RemoteAccess
BBS systems, as we feel that RA is one of the best BBS systems avail-
able. Any option in this documentation that's marked with [RA] means
that it's for RemoteAccess BBS systems only, and is not available
with other BBS programs.

│ ░░░░░ │ Installation │ ░░░░░ │
└───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
■» Step-by-Step Instructions
──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
For quick and easy reference, complete, step-by-step installation
instructions have been included a separate file, INSTALL.DOC.
Specific instructions have also been included for installing
TurboEDIT with RA (INS_RA.DOC), Synchronet (INS_SYNC.DOC), or
EzyCom (INS_EZY.DOC).
■» Command-line Parameters
──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
∙» -L Specify local mode (no dropfile required)
∙» -P<path> Specify path to your dropfiles, MSGTMP., MSGINF.,
etc. If you're not running TurboEDIT from your
dropfile path, you MUST use this parameter.
∙» -N<#> Specify node, replace <#> with the number.
∙» -1 Force DORINFO1.DEF (do not use DORINFO2.DEF for
node 2, etc.).
∙» -! Use DOOR.SYS instead of DORINFOx.DEF.
∙» -@<x> Force multitasker, replace <x> with one of the
following:
D = DESQview W = Windows N = NetWare
2 = DoubleDOS O = OS/2 X = Force NO detection
If you don''t use this parameter, the multitasker
will be detected.
∙» -% Force flushing of modem buffers after every modem
write. NOT usually used, slows down OS/2 and
Win95 horribly.
∙» -S<###> Releace timeslice every <###>/100ths of a second
(default is 100/100ths, or every 1 second. If
this door is running slow, play around with this
(should speed it up). Or use the F9 key.
■» Quick How-To
──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
In short, just decompress TurboEDIT into it's own directory, and
run TESETUP.EXE. After setting up your preferences, TurboEDIT can
be run by executing TEDIT.EXE -P<bbspath>.
┌───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ ░░░░░ │ System Requirements │ ░░░░░ │
└───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘

hardware/software and works well with almost all of them.
┌───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ ░░░░░ │ In-Depth Configuration │ ░░░░░ │
└───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
Here is a step-by-step breakdown of what each option in TurboEDIT's
setup program is used for, and how to use it.
■» General Setup
∙» Allow Taglines
───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
Taglines are one-line quotes, usually humourous in nature, that
are added to messages "just because".
° Yes - Allow users to add taglines to their msgs.
° No - Do not allow users to use taglines.
[RA] In the registered version, you may decide which areas
allow taglines and which do not.
∙» Text Phrase Expand
───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
Text Phrase Expansions are used to expand acronyms or short
forms of words into their full phrases. For example, you could
expand the text "DOS" into "Disk Operating System" or "L8r"
into "Later".
° Yes - Allow users to use phrase expanding.
° No - Do not allow users to use phrase expanding.
[RA] In the registered version, you may decide which areas
phrase expansion and which do not.
∙» Tagline Keywords
───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
Tagline keywords allow the user to only use taglines containing
certain words or phrases. This is useful if you have a large
list of taglines covering many topics, and the user only wants
taglines on a certain topic.
° Yes - Allow users to use tagline keywords.
° No - Do not allow users to use tagline keywords.
[RA] In the registered version, you may decide which areas
tagline keywords and which do not.
∙» Censor Messages
───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
Message censoring is useful if you do not allow strong language
to be used on your BBS, or if you
[RA] In the registered version, you may decide which areas
censoring and which do not.
∙» Miscellaneous
───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
This is a separate menu containing miscellaneous options:
∙» TurboEDIT Sig
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
By default, TurboEDIT automatically appends a signature
line to the message.
When registered:
° Long Sig - TurboEDIT appends a one-line signature, i.e.
"TurboEDIT v#.##x [MSP96]"
° Short Sig - TurboEDIT does NOT append a one-line sig,
but instead adds the text "[TE+]" to the
beginning of the tagline, i.e.
"... [TE+] Tagline would be here"
When unregistered:
° The long signature is forced.
∙» RemoteAccess BBS
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
TurboEDIT includes many special features for RemoteAccess.
° Yes - You are using RemoteAccess
° No - You are not using RemoteAccess
∙» BBS Path [RA]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
If you are using RemoteAccess, TurboEDIT will take info
from the RA message area & group files, MESSAGES.RA and
MGROUPS.RA. This is the full path to these files.
∙» Registration UEC
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Upon registering TurboEDIT, you will be provided with a
special number -- your UEC. You must enter it here exactly
as it was provided for TurboEDIT's registered features to
be enabled.
∙» Registration Name
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Your name, as it appeared on the registration form.
∙» Max Quoted Text %
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This option prevents users from using too much quoted text
in their messages. If the user has more quoted text than
this amount, he will be stopped before he saves the message
to disk.
∙» Quote % Handling
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This option controls how TurboEDIT handles too much quoting
in messages, when the user goes over the limit, as set
above.
° Inform user he is over the limit
This setting simply tells the user that he is over the
quoting limit, and asks him if he would like to go back
and remove some of the quoted text.
° Force user to remove quoted text
This setting forces the user to remove some of the
quoted text (and bring himself below the limit) before
TurboEDIT will allow him to save the message.
■» Phrase Expand
∙» Original Typed Text
───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
This column should contain the text that you wish TurboEDIT to
expand.
∙» New Replacement Text
───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
This column should contain the text that you wish TurboEDIT to
replace the original text with.
Example: Original Text = DOS
Replacement Text = Disk Operating System
In this example, any time the user typed in "DOS",
it would be replaced with the text "Disk Operating
System".
■» Color Setup
∙» Frame 1, Frame 2, Frame 3, and Frame 4
───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
These settings control the colors of the frames around the info
boxes at the top and bottom of the TurboEDIT editing screen.
∙» Fade
───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
This setting controls the color of the fading in the corners of
the top info box (█▓▒░, etc).
∙» Capital, Lowcase, Symbols, Digits
───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
These settings control the color of general text. Capital is
the color of capitalized text (A-Z), Lowcase is the color of
lowercase text (a-z), Symbols is the color of any non-alpha-
numeric characters (`~!@#$%^&*()-_=+[{]}\|;:'",<.>/?, and any
high-ascii characters), and Digits is the color of the digits
(0-9).
∙» Inp-Capital, Inp-Lowcase, Inp-Symbols, Inp-Digits
───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
These settings control the color of information fields (From,
to, date, time, subject, etc).
■» Tagline Setup
∙» Tagline Datafile Name
───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
This is the full path & filename of the tagline datafile. This
is a plain ASCII text file containing one tagline per line. If
no path is specified, TurboEDIT looks in it's own directory. If
no datafile is specified, TurboEDIT exits with an error.
∙» Censor Taglines
───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
This in an extension of the message censor option. If you want
to ensure that all messages leave your board 100% clean, enable
this option and TurboEDIT will apply censoring to your taglines
as well as the message body.
■» Censor Setup
∙» Words to Censor
───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
This is a list of words which you do NOT want to appear in any
censored areas. If a user tries to post a message containing
any of these words, they will be replaced, letter by letter,
with the Censor Cover Char.
∙» Overstrike Setup
───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
Configures the way TurboEDIT handles text censoring.
∙» Censor Overstrike Char
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Sets the character that TurboEDIT uses to replace censored
text.
Example: Censor Cover Char = *
Words to Censor = FIRE
Text typed by user = "Fire your guns!"
Text after censor = "**** your guns!"
∙» Use Symbols Instead (!@#$)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Sets whether or not to use random symbols (!@#$%*) to re-
place censored text, rather than using the Censor Over-
strike Char
Example: Use Symbols Instead = YES
Words to Censor = FIRE
Text typed by user = "Fire your guns!"
Text after censor = "!%@$ your guns!"
∙» Only Overstrike Vowels
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Sets whether TurboEDIT should censor the entire word or
only the vowels.
Example: Only Strike Voewls = YES
Use Symbols Instead = NO
Words to Censor = FIRE
Text typed by user = "Fire your guns!"
Text after censor = "F*r* your guns!"
Use Symbols Instead = YES
Text after censor = "F#r% your guns!"

┌───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ ░░░░░ │ Prohibitions from Posting │ ░░░░░ │
└───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
If your BBS carries echomail areas, you may, from time to time, be
forced to remove a user's access to an echomail network for a certain
period of time (i.e., due to the user misbehaving in the echo and
being suspended by a moderator, etc). For this reason, TurboEDIT has
the ability to read the bad user control file, BADUSER.CTL.
Instructions for use are included inside the control file.
┌───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ ░░░░░ │ Taglines │ ░░░░░ │
└───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
If enabled, TurboEDIT will search through the tagline datafile for
five random taglines, and present the following options:
■» Hilight Bar Down Down or 2
──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
Moves the hilight bar down one tagline.
■» Hilight Bar Up Up or 8
──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────

──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
Re-scans the tagline file and retrieves five new taglines, in case
the user doesn't like the first selection he's given.
■» Confirm Tagline Enter
──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
Appends the hilighted tagline to the user's message.
■» Save Without Tagline Esc

feature.
The sample taglines provided are from the Fido Backbone Taglines
Conference. Thanks to all who posted!
┌───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ ░░░░░ │ ANSI Required │ ░░░░░ │
└───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
TurboEDIT, being a full screen message editor, requires that the user
supports ANSI emulation to run. This should be no surprise, as there
are very few (if any) FSEd's out there that do not require ANSI.
┌───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ ░░░░░ │ Registration │ ░░░░░ │
└───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
