PURPOSE:
-------
JAGBYE.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
JAGBYE 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!
JAGBYE will run your pager, comment, and time bank utilities or default
back to Wildcat's pager and comment programs. JAGBYE 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
JAGBYE!

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!
* 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 JAGBYE runs!
So, JAGBYE 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 JAGBYE.
* Allows the user to simply press [ENTER] to logoff. This is so JAGBYE
maintains the same 'feel' of Wildcat's goodbye program.
* Displays your BBS name at the top of the JAGBYE screen 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, BYECFG.WCX, to ease the setup burden and
creates all files that JAGBYE needs to operate properly.
INSTALLATION:
------------
1. Unzip the contents of the JAGBYE archive into a directory
of your choosing!
2. Use Make Menu to modigy your menu. All you have to do is change
the Goodbye command to Run a wcCode program and put the path
to JAGBYE.WCX as the parameter! You will need to do this for
each menu (Main, File, Message) that has the 'Goodbye' option.
3. Also use Make Menu and set up your Sysop Menu to run BYECFG.WCX.
After configuration you can remove BYECFG.WCX from your Sysop
Menu unless you think you will be reconfiguring JAGBYE often.
There is an alternate way to run BYECFG.WCX without setting it
up as a menu choice. This alternate method is as follows:
In DOS, from the Main WildCat! Home directory run BYECFG.WCX
using the wildcat /r command line switch. The full path and
file name to byecfg.wcx must be used. Example:
wildcat /r c:\jagger\byecfg.wcx
4. Whether you run BYECFG.WCX as a menu choice or from DOS, simply
run it to set up and configure JAGBYE! BYECFG.WCX will take
you step by step through the configuration process. If you need
to make changes later, simply rerun BYECFG.WCX!
5. You're done, now run JAGBYE!
