I went ahead and tryed to install yasr on my mac. I have no way of testing it, I just sent my doubletalk ln to get tested, the doubletalk stopped working on my ms-dos computer. And I need to order a serial cable to connect to my MacBook pro laptop. I have an unix executable file called yasr that was created after the installation. I really didn't get any error messages during installation but I was looking at my computer at the command line after I tried to install yasr and there were a couple of no's. I don't know if this is normal or not, I am wondering if the computer couldn't write some files, or if it is normal on installation to have some no's? Anyway I can't really test it now, and I was wondering what you thought, if the installation was successful or not? Another thing I wondered if there is a way to uninstall yasr, like if I couldn't get it to work? I believe when I installed it, yasr wrote files in my directory structure, and I was wondering if I couldn't get it to work if there was a way to safely remove yasr and all of it's associated files? Any help would be appreciated.
