└────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
HOWDY.EXE is an idea I had to make UL/DL Ratio's more accessable. The user
is cheerfully greeted by the program and reminded how many Kb of files they
have uploaded and downloaded. The program is not "flashy" or "obnoxious",
and is very easy to install.

│░░░░ REQUIREMENTS ░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░│
└────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
I have currently tested HOWDY.EXE on WWIV 4.22, but I don't see any reason
that it would have any problems on other WWIV versions. It's VERY small and
takes minimal memory.
┌────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│░░░░ INSTALLATION ░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░│
└────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
Installation of HOWDY.EXE is easy. First, put the HOWDY.EXE program into
the main BBS directory. In your LOGON.BAT file, add the line HOWDY.EXE.
That's it! We're ready to roll!

│░░░░ CREDITS ░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░│
└────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
I would like to thank Gordon Ratzloff (29@7729) for doing a lot of compiling
of this program (before I got my own QuickBASIC).
I would like to thank DiverDar (1@7707) for helping me get my BBS up and
running when I never thought I would understand WWIV.
I would like to thank Michael Perin (39@7729) for helping me with all of my
hardware problems (and building me new stuff!).
I would like to thank Zack Ives (66@7729) for writing programs for me at the
drop of a hat. Give him an idea for a program and he uploads one that night!
I would like to thank Lawrence Johnstone (11@7729) for continued help with
my board and writing some of the best (most creative) shareware on the market!
I would like to thank JAFO (1@1 on TerrNet)... because I ripped off the idea
for the DOC file from his programs! Sorry, JAFO! <g>
Mostly, I want to thank my wife (2@7729) <g> for putting up with all of the
hours that I spend on the BBS and for my asking her stupid questions at 3am!
