PURPOSE:
-------
JAGBYE5.WCX is a custom 'Goodbye' utility that offers your users
many more choices before they logoff your BBS! It gives your users
the choices of:
[P]aging the Sysop
[C]omment to Sysop
[T]ime Bank
[R]eturn back to BBS
[G]oodbye
JAGBYE5 was designed with animated screens that will change depending
on the time of day. There is a morning screen with a bright sun, a
daytime screen with a blue backing, and a night screen with city lights!
JAGBYE5 will run your pager, comment, and time bank utilities or default
back to Wildcat's pager and comment programs. JAGBYE5 is programmed to
logoff unless the other menu keys are chosen, so your users can simply
press [ENTER] to logoff! This will maintain the same 'feel' as Wild-
cat's default goodbye program. A moving bar that times the user's
input tops off the A w e s o m e A n i m a t i o n included with
JAGBYE5!

FEATURES:
--------
* Offers what Jagger Creative Services is known for....
A w e s o m e A n i m a t i o n !
* Offers the OPTION of checking for marked files before allowing the
user to logoff or a fast logoff that will go directly to the Goodbye
Menu no matter if the user has marked files or not!
* If you opt to check for marked files, JAGBYE5 will also offer you the
OPTION of saving marked files for the user if they don't download them
when logging off. When they log back on, they will get a chance to
download the saved, marked files!
* Designed with 3 screens that will change depending on the time of day!
User's will also see different goodbye messages with the change in the
time of day.
* Uses the conference number of your choice for private Sysop messages
and comments.
* Keeps absolutely NO log files because log files should already be
kept by the pager, comment, and time bank programs that JAGBYE5 runs!
So, JAGBYE5 will NOT clutter up your activity logs!
* Will send a error message to the Sysop so that you will know if you
forgot to configure any portion of JAGBYE5.
* Allows the user to simply press [ENTER] to logoff. This is so JAGBYE5
maintains the same 'feel' of Wildcat's goodbye program.
* Displays your BBS name at the top of the JAGBYE5 screen, once
registered, so that it truly looks like it's a part of your BBS!
* Displays your 'Goodbye' screen before logging the user off!
* Will run a wcCode Pager Utility program if you have one. If not,
it will default to Wildcat's Pager program.
* Will run a wcCode Comment Utility program if you have one. If not,
it will default to Wildcat's Comment program.
* Will run a wcCode Time Bank Utility program if you have one. If not,
it will tell the user that 'this option is not available'.
* If the user doesn't make a choice withing roughly 20 seconds, it will
log them off automatically. A animated bar will move across the
screen to show the user how much time is left for them to choose.
* Installation .WCX program, BYECFG5.WCX, to ease the setup burden and
creates all files that JAGBYE5 needs to operate properly.
INSTALLATION:
------------
1. Unzip the contents of the JAGBYE5 archive into your Wildcat 5
home directory (usually called "C:\WC5\")!
2. Use wcMenu to modify any menu that you want to put JAGBYE5 on.
All you have to do is change the Goodbye menu key command to
"Run a wcCode program", then choose "JAGBYE5" from your choices
of wcCode programs to run!
3. If you want JAGBYE5 to save marked files, see "Saving Marked Files"
below BEFORE you run the configuration program, BYECFG5.WCX.
4. Also use wcMenu and set up your Sysop Menu to run BYECFG5.WCX.
After configuration you can remove BYECFG5.WCX from your Sysop
Menu unless you think you will be reconfiguring JAGBYE5 often.
There is an alternate way to run BYECFG5.WCX without setting it
up as a menu choice. This alternate method is as follows:
In DOS, from the Main WildCat! Home directory run BYECFG5.WCX
using the wcRun -r command line switch. Do NOT use the ".WCX"
on the end! Example:
wcRun -r byecfg5
5. Whether you run BYECFG5.WCX as a menu choice or from DOS, simply
run it to set up and configure JAGBYE5! BYECFG5.WCX will take
you step by step through the configuration process. If you need
to make changes later, simply rerun BYECFG5.WCX!
6. You're done, now run JAGBYE5!
SAVING MARKED FILES WITH JAGMARK5:
---------------------------------
JAGBYE5 can save the user's marked files if they do not download
them when logging off. It uses JAGMARK5.WCX to check for saved files
at logon. If saved files are found then JAGMARK5.BBS is displayed
when they log back on & the user will get a chance to download these
saved, marked files. To use the option to save marked files do this:
1. Answer "Y" in BYECFG5 when asked if to check for marked files.
2. Answer "Y" in BYECFG5 when asked if to save marked files.
3. Unzip and install JAGRUN5.ZIP. Then add JAGMARK5.WCX to the
JAGRUN5 configuration file so that it will be run at logon.
Read JAGRUN5.DOC on how to install JAGRUN5. JAGRUN5 is FREEWARE!
4. JAGMARK5.BBS will be moved to your display dir (usually C:\WC5\DISP\)
once you run BYECFG5.WCX. Simply edit JAGMARK5.BBS to suit your
needs. Just keep in mind that the download prompt will appear
on line 22 when it is displayed.
5. That's about it!
