 `EasyFR' is an utility to help and handle File-Requests in an easyer way.

 EasyFR 2.2 needs:

 - Kickstart 2.0 (you will need at least 2.1 to run localization);
 - MUI 2.2 (or updated version) installed;
 - xpkmaster.library 2.4;
 - traplist.library 5.2 (better 5.4);

 These are some of the features:

 - You can create and handle .REQ files to be  sent  to  the  BBS  (with  a
   mailer) that should reply your request;

 - You can read and select directly from a fidonet box (a  Filelist)  files
   you want to request; selected entries will be copied in the .REQ file;

 - You can handle fidonet box (Filelist) packed with any XPK library;

 - Find Next & Find Previous functions in fidonet boxes;

 - You can display info about nodes in nodelist (using traplist.library);

 - You can edit a QuickList with most frequently used nodes;

 - The mailer can be runned directly from EasyFR pressing one button;

 - Simple management of InBound: directory;

 - You can list and extract lha archives;

 - EasyFR can associate a Filelist to a specific node (via traplist.library):
   changing node will change filelist too;

 - GUI can be modified by the user,  this  thanx  Stefan  Stunz  and  his
   Magic User Interface;

 - Localization: by now only english and italian are distributed;

 - On-line help: pressing the HELP key, the AmigaGuide® help will be shown.
   Help is context-sensitive;

 As you can read, there is nothing really particular, but there seems  that
 other programs miss something.
 Some can run TrapDoor, do not handle fido boxes (Filelists), others do not
 support  traplist.library,  and  I  haven't  seen  any  one supporting XPK
 libraries.

 `EasyFR' try to handle File Requests in a complete and easy way.
