- Welcome to YAREdit! YAREdit is a FREE full-screen external message
- editor for use with the RemoteAccess BBS system.
-
- YAREdit was made for your free use. This is the first version of YAREdit,
- and so I am very interested in hearing any suggestions or wishes that you
- have for future versions of YAREdit. My hope is to continue to support
- YAREdit to make it your dream editor by adding whatever features you
- want to see (and that are reasonable). Please see the suggestion form at
- the end of this message to forward your suggestions.
-
- The current features of YAREdit are as follows:
-
- - YAREdit is designed to closely mimic the appearance of the built-in
- RemoteAccess full screen message viewer.
-
- - YAREdit provides the following editing features: insert / overwrite mode,
- navigation keys using cursor keys, home/end, page up/page down, or
- control key equivalents, delete a line, tab.
-
- - YAREdit provides sysop DOS shell with memory swapping, split screen
- chat mode, and other sysop function keys and status lines that mimic
- the RemoteAccess sysop interface.
-
- - YAREdit is compatible with RemoteAccess 1.x and 2.x, including RA
- 2.50.
-
- To setup YAREdit for use with your RemoteAccess installation, do the
- following:
-
- 1. Run RACONFIG.
- 2. Choose Options|Messages|External Editor
- 3. Set the external editor command line to c:\ra\YAREDIT.EXE *M, where
- c:\ra\ is substituted with the location of the directory where you
- have placed the YAREDIT.EXE file.
