Yuppie! by Leo Moll , Jan Egner , Stefan Erben , Erik Schmidt and Martin Koser was the leading program for reading and writing messages in FidoNet in the German-speaking area until the early 1990s .

Yuppie! was extremely user-friendly and menu-driven for the time. The additional use of shortcuts made it possible to carry out all tasks in a minimum of time. It ran under the DOS operating system , was programmed in Clipper and saved the messages in DBASE tables. The name of the program is an acronym derived from The YEA-Soft Ultimate Point Package International Edition! .

The "currently" current version is 2.12, which has not been further developed for a long time. In the mid-1990s, Yuppie became! increasingly ousted by CrossPoint .
