Well, after installing RA V2.0 and using the RAMGR utility i felt that i
needed something more flexibel to maintain my file-areas, i already had
written RAFT for the older versions of RA, the new RA has a completly
new file-system so i completly rewrote RAFT with a new interface and
new functions so that RAFT could be used with the new RA, here it is...
RAFT is FREEWARE, RAFT is in no way crippled, if you use RAFT more then
30 days and you thing it is a usefull programm, you can send me a
postcard telling so, send it to:

All You'll need are the following things:
■ An installed RA V2.0 environment.
■ 192 KB of free conventional memory.
RAFT looks for the RA environment variable to find out where the RA system-
files are, when found, RAFT gets all information needed from the RA system-
files, RAFT doesn't need to be setup and can be placed in any directory
(i suggest a directory which is included in your PATH).

■ RAFT is very simple to use, everything is cursor-controlled, there are
several help-screens included which can be called up with the F1 key
(also in the editors), also the key-bar (the last line on the screen) is
used for poping up some help-message when using some functions.
■ All functions that delete or change items have a 'are you sure' prompt.
■ One major difference between RAFT and RAMGR is that RAFT can do
multi-line tagging, this means you can tag several lines individualy
instead of block-wise (like RAMGR), tagged lines are highlited.
■ With the GREY + and - you can do wildcard tagging, this means that you
can tag/untag files which match a wildcard pattern you enter.
Normal tagging/untagging can be done with SPACE.
■ AREA-SELECTOR
RAFT starts up with an area-selector, this selector shows all the area's
that are currently defined in your FILES.RA file, you can do several
things here, press F1 for help on the functions you can use.
■ AREA-EDITOR
When you select an area in the area-selector and you press ENTER, you
will enter the area-editor which is build up in two section, the upper
half of the screen shows a page of files with some data, the bottom
half of the screen shows the description of the file the cursor-bar
is on. Press F1 for help on the functions you can use.
■ All functions are self-explaining so we will keep this doc small and
tidy.
