README for GoldED 2.50 Public Release
______________________________________________________________________
______________________________________________________________________
INTRODUCTION
Welcome to the Shareware Evaluation Public Release of GoldED 2.50!
Basically this is a drop-in replacement for earlier versions. It should
work without configuration changes. A number of default settings have
been changed to ease the setup for new users, so if you are using a
simple configuration, some things may work differently, where in
advanced configurations, your settings override the defaults.
If you are upgrading from version 2.41, 2.42 or older, you should be
aware that a lot of new features have been added, including many many
new keywords for GOLDED.CFG. I don't have a short list that compares
the older versions with 2.50, sorry. I recommend that you go slowly
through the ADVANCED.CFG configuration example in the GEM250.ZIP
archive. It contains just about all available keywords with example
usage and a short explanation.
The DOS, OS/2 and 386 protected mode versions are distributed in
separate archives with instructions on how to get started with a
simple first-time install (see INSTALL.DOC). The full manual and
advanced configuration examples are distributed in a separate archive.
Release archives:
GED250.ZIP GoldED 2.50 for DOS.

GEX250.ZIP GoldED/386 2.50 for DOS, 386 protected mode.

WHAT IS GOLDED?
GoldED is an electronic mail reader and editor for FidoNet compatible
networks, with features for Internet e-mail and newsgroups via gates
or SOUP packets. Also provided are QWK packet import/export features.
GoldED works with most popular message database formats in use in
FidoNet today. Supported formats currently include Fido *.MSG, Hudson,
Squish, JAM, Ezycom, PCBoard and Goldbase. Support for AdeptXBBS and
WildCat! is planned for the next release.
GoldED is designed for points, nodes and sysops who want get the most
out of their mail. It is packed with features for both the serious
user and for those who want to have fun with their mail.
GoldED is highly configurable, using plain ASCII text files, editable
with your favorite text editor. It is also capable of reading the
configuration files from a wide range of other mail programs such as
BBS'es, front-end mailers and mail processors. In many cases, you
won't even have to write a single line of GoldED configuration to get
started!
To get started with GoldED, please read INSTALL.DOC.
Thanks you for your interest in GoldED!
