WildJoke - Joke of the day for WIldcat September 1992
-------- ---------------------------
WildJoke is a program that runs in the POSTCALL.BAT file and gives
each caller a joke that is read in at random from a text file called
JOKES.DAT.
WildJoke prints out a nice little colorful screen.
The files you should have with this archive are:
WILDJOKE.EXE - The main program.
WILDJOKE.DOC - You are reading it!
JOKE.CFG - The config file containing the path and name
of the display file.
JOKES.DAT - A sample Joke data file. You should edit these.
POSTCALL.BAT - A sample postcall batch file. You may have to
edit this also.
README.1ST - Notes pretaining to v1.1
Installing Joke of the Day
--------------------------
Steps
=====
1. Put all the files into a directory, you should make this the main WC30 dir,
however you can put them anywhere as long as you edit the postcall.bat file
to reflect the proper directory.
2. Edit the JOKE.CFG file so that it contains the complete path and filename
for the screen that you want to use for the display. It should look somthing
like the following.
C:\WC30\DISP\HELLO3.BBS
^^^^The filename of the screen!
3. Edit the POSTCALL.BAT file to reflect the proper directory that the wildjoke
files are in. You will have to make the first line take you to the WC30 dir
if thats where the JOKE files are.
And thats pretty much it as far as installing goes.
Editing the Jokes
-----------------
The JOKES.DAT file is a standerd text file that can be edited with an ASCI
text editor. If you register this program, this file will then be able to
hold 200 jokes. However, this demo copy holds 41 Jokes. ALL 41 jokes must
be present or a caller may get a blank line for his joke. Each joke should
be 2 lines and no more that 75 characters per line. Look at the Jokes.dat
file and Im sure you will be able to figure the rest out.
If you need help with this you can call me at (205)626-3990 Voice
