Ok, here's the format you need to use for the voting booth info...
PLEASE TAKE CARE to place the number of votes (last num in each of the
respose lines) PRECICELY on column 65... I suggest you just use MY
data file as a template.
Also, you will note the words All Users, Private Access, and Co-Sysops.
They MUST be spelled EXACTLY as they are here (it's NOT case sensitive)
or the prog will not be able to pick it up and display that section...
The ORDER of the fields is VERY IMPORTANT! You MUST place the All Users
questions first, followed by the Private Access, then finally the
Co-Sysops... Reason being the way the program keeps track of the issues
available to the user.... If you put a Co-Sysop issue before an All Users
issue, the Standard Access User will see the Co-Sysop's issue when they
select the appropriate number, and will NOT see the one THEY are supposed
to see... Confused? :) You know how to get ahold of me.... :)
ALL Issues MUST have 4 voting fields. If you run out of answers, use a
No Comment or some such thing.
Make sure and number the issues too... One of the things the prog
keys on...
1 Voting Booth: Is it REALLY Necessary? 01 Dec 91 All Users

No Access to Voting Booth.......................................0
Should be shot on sight.........................................0
More on the Voting Booth:
The program creates it's own userfile with the users name and a record
of how he/she voted on each issue. It WILL be necessary to reset things
if you change issues... Easy if you are starting from scratch: simply
wipe the USERVOTE.DAT file and start over... The NEXT project is a util
package for the Voting Booth so the Sysop can delete/insert new issues
without having to start everything from scratch...
