FLEA MARKET is a Buy, Sell and Trade Door written for GAP Communications
BBS systems. It sports a very clean, neat interface which is very simple
to use. The program utilizes a random access .DAT file which can not be
edited.
The instructions are internal and can be accessed from the main menu.
The MARKET.TXT file is created everytime a user exists the program. It is
a straight ASCII file creation of the MARKET.DAT database. This file is
then available for your members/guests to D/L from your LOOSE directory. You
should read the sample MARKET.BAT example to see how that is accomplished.
You could also change the path and write it to a BULLETIN on your system.
The choice is your, however, the default instructions in the program explain
that the file is placed in a special directory (is actually the LOOSE dir),
but this can be changed to a bulletin instruction in the registered version
if you like.

If you run multi-nodes, you must have a separate .CNF and .BAT file for

using the COMMAND$ function, so you may pass any .CNF file name to the
program.
