HOWDY!
What's New
==============================================================================

HOWDY! 4.0 will only work with Searchlight 2.0 or greater.
All BiBass programs now use KEY files to determine if you are registered.

Code was totally re-written to maxmize speed. Also added a graphics
bar for percentage of calls for ANSI users.
No longer have to pass meta-characters or use config files. Please read
updated docs for more info.

Bug fix. Corrected a bug that thought a user was the SysOp if he only
had a first name (i.e. KEVIN instead of KEVIN BASS)

Howdy! will now work on multinode systems. In order to make it work you
have to make a file called HOWDY!x.CFG. x=node number. The contents of
the file should contain where that node's CONFIG.BBS file can be located.
For example, if I was running three nodes, I would make two config files.
One would be called HOWDY!2.CFG and HOWDY!3.CFG. Lets say node two's files
were located in a directory called D:\BBS2 and node three's files were
located in a directory called D:\BBS3. Here's what the config files would
look like:
[ Contents of HOWDY!2.CFG ]
D:\BBS2
[ Contents of HOWDY!3.CFG ]
D:\BBS3
Notice, Howdy! will still reside in Node one's main BBS directory. All
config files will be placed there also. You must also the %O parameter
so it will no what node the user is logged into and what config file to
use.
Howdy! also greets the user with Good Morning, Good Afternoon, or Good
Good Evening according to what time it is.
Howdy! will tell the user if his/her upload/download ratio has been ex
exceeded and suggest uploading a few files.
That's it for this one.
