HOLICAT is a program that was written for WildCat! 3.x SysOps to create
a Bulletin/Hello screen to show how many days are left until ANY Holiday.
On a specific Holiday the screen will change to a nice ansi screen
denoting that particular holiday.
The cost for running a BBS is already high enough. No payment for this
program is expected or required. If you have the time or inclination,
a quick note saying how much you like this program would be appreciated.
If you don't like this program, you could drop me a note telling me why.
REQUIREMENTS
------------
DOS 3.x or better.
BRUN45 (Not included but available on most any BBS).
PC XT/AT or Compatible
SETUP
-----
HOLICAT.EXE and HOLICAT.CFG must reside in the same directory.
The sample .BBS files may be put anywhere you like. Run the
HCATCFG.EXE file and answer the 2 question. If you prefer you
may use your favorite text editor to edit the enclosed sample
HOLICAT.CFG file. Line 1 of the config file will be the path
to the sample .BBS screens included in this package. Line 2
will be the drive, path, and filename of the output file you
want to create (Usually BULLx.BBS or HELLOx.BBS).
The sample .BBS screens contain @Codes for use with WC!3.x.
Add two lines to your nightly event batch file.
Example: CD\WC30\HOLICAT <=== Where you placed HOLICAT.EXE
HOLICAT
That's all there is to it.
NOTE
----
The enclosed sample .BBS files may be changed to suit your
particular taste. However, the filenames must remain exactly
the same.
Vampire Technologies claims no rights to the enclosed sample ansi screens.
