DESQview Aware Event Synchronizer
Version 1.0 January 15, 1990
Nels Anderson
92 Bishop Drive
Framingham, MA 01701
DESCRIPTION: WAITDV is a utility for BBS sysops to use to synchronize
multiple nightly events. It causes an event to wait for another node
to create a file before continuing or it can also just wait for a set
number of minutes. Because WAITDV is DESQview aware, the active event
runs much faster than if a non-aware wait utility was used. WAITDV
will also work fine if you are not using DESQview.
REQUIREMENTS: No special requirements.
SHAREWARE: WAITDV is distributed as Shareware. You are free to try
the program and make copies for others. If you continue to use it,
however, you are asked to make a donation to the author of $5 or more
to support continued development of this and other software.
FILES: The files included in TOPCITY v1.0 are as follows:
WAITDV.EXE The executable file
WAITDV.DOC Documentation on how to use WAITDV
WAITDV.TXT This file
All these files MUST be included when distributing this program. If you
archive the program for distribution through BBS's, please use the name
WAITDV10.ZIP (or .ARC, .PAK, etc. as appropriate).
SUPPORT: Support for this software is provided through the )(evious BBS.
Call 508-875-3618 or 617-449-7322 (300/1200/2400/9600HST, 8N1) and leave
a C)omment for the sysop. The latest version will always be available
there first. Mail support is also available; please include an SASE with
your request.

log. Logs for any node can be viewed in reverse order
(i.e., most recent caller back) or the logs can be searched
for any string. Also allows sysop to view all lines with
highlighting of certain activities, or to search the log
for a specific user and view all lines in each of his online
sessions.
GROUPERS: A PCBoard 14.x game door. Players gamble on the outcome
of the next card drawn from the deck. The game is set up
to run as a monthly contest and keeps track of current
