│ We set up this sub-board to demonstrate Bulletron's capabilities as │
│ a computer matchmaking dating service. Dial-Your-Match has long │
│ been a favorite service among BBS callers throughout the world. The │
│ French government's Minitel service nets billions of dollars │
│ annually offering this type of service to its subscribers. We set │
│ up a "combined" type of matchmaker for this sub-board that lets │
│ people enter free-form input as well as multiple choice. The │
│ multiple choice part is relly necessary because many people draw a │
│ blank when it comes to writing about themselves. We made this │
│ sub-board a SIG (special interest group) so that we can hide it │
│ from people who call for technical discussion only. We can even │
│ designate this sub-board for "board separation" to keep people who │
│ call for the dating service separate from those happily married │
│ folks who call just for technical discussions. With board │
│ separation, the two groups can not see each other. Message purge │
│ has been set for 30 days, as the discussions on this sub-board will │
│ tend to be frivolous. The system operator can prevent purging for │
│ any specific message if he finds something in it that might be worth │
│ reading twice. The download directories for this sub-board might │
│ contain pictures of the callers or other people in the form of .GIF │
│ files. The access level for the Dial-Your-Match sub-board is set to │
│ 100 so that subscribers will lose access to it if their │
│ subscriptions run out. │
│ │
│ The message that you are reading right now is named "HELPDYM". You │
│ can make a help message like this for each sub-board. Name the │
│ files "HELPbbb.UTL", where "bbb" is the three character sub-board │
│ abbreviation. Then use the BBUTIL program, function "H" to load all │
│ the "*.UTL" files on your disk into messages on your "utilities" │
│ sub-board. │
