-
- This is just meant to be an example of how to successfully setup
- TurboEDIT -- It may or may not be the best way, but it DOES work.
-
- Thanks to Chris Chastain (1:3636/16) for providing his Synchronet Setup
- for TurboEDIT.
-
- Here's the information Chris sent us:
-
- Install the TurboEDIT files in a directory of your choice, Chris used
- C:\SBBS\EXEC\TURBOED, so this is the directory we'll be using for our
- examples. If you change it, adjust your setup accordingly.
-
- Next, run TESETUP.EXE and configure TurboEDIT to your preferences.
-
- The TE.BAT that is included in the archive is not required for use with
- Synchronet. It may be deleted.
-
- In Synchronet Config under External Programs | External Editors, insert
- a new item. Chris used "TURBOED", so that's the name we'll be using.

-
- The %! simply expands to your exec directory (in Chris' case, it was
- C:\SBBS\EXEC\TURBOED\). MAKE SURE that you specify YOUR OWN path if it
- differs from the one he used.
-
- The -P is TurboEDIT's path parameter and the %N expands to your NODE
- directories (in Chris' case C:\SBBS\NODE1 or C:\SBBS\NODE).
-
- The -N%# specifies which node the user is on, and is included for
- saftey and to demonstrate the use of TurboEDIT's -N node number param-
- eter in conjunction with Synchronet's node number variable.
-
- Also, you might want to play with the -S parameter if you run a multi-
- tasker. -S### (where the ### is 100ths of a second) detemines when a
- time slice is released. Default is 1 second (100/100ths).
-
- If you experience problems with TurboEDIT not being able to locate its
- configuration file, you should set the TEDIT environment variable. This
- can be done by adding the following line to your AUTOEXEC.BAT:
-
- SET TEDIT=C:\SBBS\EXEC\TURBOED
- ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ (change this to the path to TurboEDIT).
-
- Last but not least, put TEDIT in your GLOBAL SWAP LIST if you lack the
- memory to run it without swaping the BBS out. Chris says he didn't
- need to swap, and that TurboEDIT loads faster without swapping. When
- upading the GLOBAL SWAP LIST, just put in TEDIT, NOT TEDIT.EXE.
