Zodiac will "cast" daily horoscopes comparable to any that you
might find in your local newspaper. It can be run as a stand-alone
program or as a BBS daily utility to prepare a daily horoscope
bulletin. The output can also be slightly modified to add your BBS
name, a bulletin header and a bulletin trailer.
To print a horoscope simply enter the command ZODIAC. The output
will contain an introductory banner, a calendar of the current month,
a little information on the current phase of the moon (this really
influences the casting of the horoscopes) and the horoscopes for
each house of the zodiac.
To alter the output a file named ZODIAC.DAT must exist in the
same directory as the ZODIAC.EXE program. This file MUST contain
at least seven lines, each of 80 characters or less. The first line
containes the name of your BBS. Lines 2, 3, and 4 should contain
your bulletin header while lines 5, 6, and 7 contain the bulletin
trailer. Zodiac can be included in a daily event file, redirecting
its output to a specific bulletin file. A samle for the ZODIAC.DAT
file is provided in EXAMPLE.DAT ... run the program, rename the
example to ZODIAC.DAT and run it again to see the results.
