ShareWare Software the only way to compute!
Let me introduce myself, My name is Roy LaRive and I run the
Mont Belvieu BBS (713)-385-2001.
I recently finished a C++ class at 40 years old.
This is my first attempt at any real programming other then homework stuff.
I am not that good with the PPE stuff so I decided to write the main portion
of my program in C++ and then call the results from the PPE.
You will find enclosed in this zip file 2 sets of files along with the data
files.
**NOTE: All the files must be in the same directory together.
Edit the history.cfg file with any ol text editor, it has instructions within
the file.
History.exe and TDIH.PPE go together.
With this combination you must run the file History.exe from your event.
TDIH.PPE will the call the file that History.exe makes Example:"Hist.Txt".
You can use History.exe without TDIH.PPE
Just call History.exe from your Event and then call the file "Hist.txt"
from your text files "News, Bulletins, Logon, Logoff, etc."
History2.exe and TDIH2.PPE go together.
With this combination TDIH2.PPE shells or runs the file History2.exe and will
then display the file Hist.Txt that is created.
This is a little bit slower but not much.
**NOTE #2 ** I created the "HISTORY and HISTORY2.EXE files using ANSI codes
so other people could run it on other boards or as a stand-a-lone program,
so ANSI.SYS must be loaded in the config.sys file.
The Data files are no big secret to add to or edit. Each month has it's own
data file. The S## is for the special events and the B## are for birthdays.
The ##,s represent the day of the month. So if you want to add a birthday
say 6/12/63, just edit hist.jun by putting in the new line as shown below.
Was:
B12 1929 Anne Frank, diarist
S12 1934 Black-McKeller Bill splits United Airlines from Boeing.
After editing:
B12 1929 Anne Frank, diarist
B12 1963 Anita LaRive The Loving, Beautiful and Great Wife of mine, the Author
S12 1934 Black-McKeller Bill splits United Airlines from Boeing.
Notice that Anita's birthday was added after another B12 but before an S12.
Let me try to explain the reasoning here. The file are read from top to
bottom so you try to keep the dates in order Notice the B12 above Anita's
was in 1929. 1963 falls after 1929 and there were no other B12's left to
call so it was the logical place to put it. It could have even been put in
on the line below the S12.
Wit.wit is the same as above but instead of it being 12 different data files.
the whole year is included (well most of it)in the one file.
It's format is W#### followed by a space the the witty saying.
The 1st two ## are the month 01 thru 12.
The 2nd two ## are the day of the month.
Only one witticism per day. After all how much humor can one stand.
You should know by now how to install a PPE, if not consult PCboard Docs.
Special Thanks to my wife for putting up with all the time I spent at the
computer and to Ray Cramer, Bill Dingley, and Bill Walker
(my only real Beta/Alpha Tester) other then myself.
There is no warranty implied or expressed but if you have any comments
call my board (713)-385-2001 or email me at LROY@FLASH.NET.
Oh by the way this program is totally unprotected and fully functional
and has no expiration dates.
If you like it please send me a bit of encouragement say $5 or less whatever
you can spare.
Or at least send me a comment: Roy LaRive

Thanks for using my program.
