Rand.exe is a random number Generator of excellent flexibility.
It was designed to produce a WINNING number such as is used in a
raffle or door prize situation. Once it picks a winner, and
displays it with suitable fanfare on the screen, that number,
along with the time and date will be added to a Winner file.
Once a winner has won his name is automatically prevented from
winning again.
RandIN.exe is the check in module for Rand and Rand2. It is
designed to read a member list (and expired member list) and
create the pull list that Rand and Rand2 use. In addition, it is
able to track who has or needs a name tag and generate a merge
file used to create an approriate name tag. In addition, those
whose name tags are ready will be told to pick up the tag when
they check in. In addition, It even lets guests register in a
separate followup file.
All of the files used by the above programs can be edited by a
standard text editor. They are arranged in simple columns and
could be output from a wide assortment of programs such as Lotus
or Dbase. The Multi-user version allows more than one check-in
station to access the same data files for those really BIG check
in requirements.
┌────────────────────────────────────┐
│ USER CLUB & SHAREWARE REQUIREMENTS │
└────────────────────────────────────┘
The first requirement of your inclusion of this package in your
offering is that you NOT separate these components from each
other.
The second is that this may NOT become part of a bundle (on
floppy disk) of utiltites with software from other authors
without my express written permission. This is not to be
construed as preventing its inclusion on BBS systems. On the
other hand, Shareware Laser disk publisners MUST get permission
before inclusion in their offering.
This file MAY NOT be modified or removed from your distribution disk.
If disk space allows, you may however add this to a floppy disk
that contains other things written by Me. All programs written by
me should include the keyword FENTRY in the KeyWord area.
Any User Group or Distributer that charges more that $6.00 per
disk must get written permission before inclusion in their
library. Since user groups are probably my biggest target market,
there will be NO exemptions of registration. As a guideline, if a
user group uses this product for more than three meetings it is
expected to register. ShareWare only works if Shareware Authors
are compensated for their efforts.
I would request notice of inclusion should you decide to include
this disk in your catalog etc. A tear sheet of the actual write
up is sufficent.
