HALLOWS is a program that was written for WildCat! 3.x SysOps to create
a Bulletin/Hello screen to show how many days were left until Halloween.
The cost for running a BBS is already high enough. No payment for this
program is expected or required. If you feel the need to pay someone
for this program, please send a donation to your favorite charity
instead. A note saying you like this program (if you like it) would be
greatly appreciated.
REQUIREMENTS
------------
DOS 2.x or better.
BRUN45 (Not included but available on most any BBS).
PC XT/AT
A love for Halloween.
SETUP
-----
Place HALLOWS.EXE in any directory you have in your DOS PATH.
To run, simply execute the program. HALLOWS will create a file
called HELLOX.BBS which contains @Codes for use with WC!3.x.
I suggest running it in your nightly events as close to Midnight
as possible. Copy and Rename the HELLOX.BBS file to either your
Display or Bulletin directory to suit your needs.
CUSTOM PROGRAM INFO
-------------------
I wrote this program after seeing a similar one used to show
how many days till Xmas that someone else wrote. I liked it
so much I decided to create my own for Halloween. This program
can easily be changed to count down the days for just about any-
thing. Would you like a custom version counting down the days
for your BBS anniversary, or Birthday or whatever? Just send
$5.00 (U.S. Funds) and a copy of 2 different ANSI graphics
(Using the WildCat! 3.x @Codes) of your choice, and the date
you want counted down. Send to:
Robert C. Fonner, Jr.
5905 Oak Street
Hollywood, FL 33021-1516
You need to mail the $5.00, but you may send the 2 graphics to
either FidoNet 1:369/24 or to Dracula's Castle at 305-964-2696.
You can download your custom file (about a week after I have
received your $5.00) or I can mail it to you. If you want it
mailed, add an additional $5.00 (for disk and mailing costs).
Please include a note telling me which size/capacity disk to
mail to you.
