- Installation
- ────────────
-
- Copy the ITHAPTOD.VM to your mex directory (ie: C:\Max\m )
- Copy the all the other files to your system directory (ie: C:\Max )
-
- Edit the ITHAPTOD.CFG file and set the colours you wish for it's output.
- (It's all explained in the file and is quite simple)
-
- Then edit either your welcome.mec or menus.ctl files as follows:
-
- In Menus.ctl - Any Menu:
-
- MEX C:\Max\M\Ithaptod Normal "It Happened Today"
-
- or in any "mec" file:
-
- [MEX]C:\Max\m\Ithaptod
-
- And compile the file as required. The program will now display events,
- birthdays, or other things in history for that day, when it runs. You
- can edit the data files as you see fit to either add or remove items.
-
- The format for the data files is fairly simple. Each line in the file
- contains the date of the event, followed by the text to display for that
- event.
-
- ie: to add the Maximus 3.0 release date (aug 10,1995) to the data files,
- edit the month that you wish to add it to, and enter the following
- (text may be what ever you choose it to say for your system):
-
- E08101995 Maximus 3.0 (The best in BBS software) was released.
-
- The first character may be:
-
- "E" for an Event
- "H" for a Holiday
- "B" for a Birthday
- "D" for a Disaster
- "R" for a Reminder
- "A" for an Anniversary
-
- The next 2 characters are the month in numeric form (include leading
- zeros for months less than 10).
-
- The next 2 characters are the day that it happened on. (again leading
- zeros required for days less than 10).
-
- The next 4 characters are the year in which it happend.
- Next a space.
-
- Then the text that you wish the program to display for that date. It
- may be as long as required (up to 255 characters).

- Source Code & Support
- ─────────────────────
-
- I choose not to include my source code in distribution archives. While
- these programs are not crippled in any way, I like people to acknowledge
- my work by sending either a small fee for the source or a note to say
- thanks for a great program.
-
- Support and updates are also available for these programs (although I
- can't immagine people needing support for these).
-
- For the source files/updates to be delivered to you directly, a charge
- of $5.00 Canadian for the program, should be sent to the author. This
- is not some get rich quick scheme, but rather offsets the costs of
- distribution, and phone calls to deliver the product to you. If you
- have the source, you can easily change the program to suit your needs,
- be it language, output, colour, or use it to learn more about MEX
- programming.
-
- To Recieve the Updates/Source, send a cheque or money order (please no
- cash), in Canadian funds to:
-
- Greg Foley
- 21 Greenford Drive
- Hamilton, Ontario,
- Canada, L8G-2G4
-
- Please include: (ITHAPTOD.VM)

- Thanks in advance, and I hope you enjoy using the programs that we
- produce here at Basement Programs Ltd.
