I'm looking at getting the file formats for the Yarn data files as I am
considering writting a compatible Win95 app. to replace Yarn's Usenet mail
portion. (I don't like the shift-Esc key being recognized and I want
Intellimouse support while reading messages!). Sorry OS2 users, (I was
happily one from ver 2.0 day until about 2 two weeks ago), it will be Win95
only, but I will share the Yarn access source (I plan on C++, but likely it
will be heavier in raw C code) to allow you to create your own apps, if I
get some information from other users here.
Many of the data files are pretty obvious, and it looks like it won't be
too hard a task, if I let SOUPER/VSOUP and the Yarn IMPORT and EXPIRE
programs do their bit for the initial phase. There is a lot of info.
recorded that I don't want to miss any. I likely will ask questions has I go.
If anyone has done any work on decyphering this info., and wishes to share
it let me know either privately of via the news group. I will share what I
find too, to make sure I understand everything.
Martin.
