JestBBS 2.10 by Dave Haynes
Copyright (c) 1993 \/ertigo Entertainment
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
DESCRIPTION: JestBBS is a utility for bulletin board SysOps who want
to display a joke for their users at logon/logoff/or as a bulletin.
JestBBS is NOT a door. It is to be run in one of the following batch
files: BETWEEN.BAT, GOODBYE.BAT, HELLO.BAT, $$LOGOFF.BAT, LOGON.BAT, etc.
(Read your BBS software's documentation to find out which batch file
you should use. TriBBS uses BETWEEN.BAT.)
-------------------------------------------------
GETTING JESTBBS STARTED:
* First of all, you'll need to copy JestBBS (and all supporting files)
to the directory you wish to run it from.
* Second, you'll need to run SETUP.EXE to configure JestBBS to your specific
needs.
* Add the following lines to the batch file (from above) that corresponds
with your system:
CD\PathToWhereYouPutJestBBS
JestBBS
CD\PathToWhereeverYouNeedToGoFromHere
* Read your DOS manual for information on batch files and your BBS software's
documentation for the specifics of the batch file you have to create.
That's it!
-------------------------------------------------
SHAREWARE:
* Many people don't understand the concept of Shareware. It's not a
type of software, it's a marketing method that allows you to try a
program before you decide to buy it. If you don't like it, you delete
it and pay nothing. If you choose to continue using the software, you
are required to pay the author's modest registration fee.
-------------------------------------------------
REGISTRATION BENEFITS:
* The latest version of JestBBS.
* MORE JOKES!!! (I add new jokes to Jokes.Dat all the time.)
* Printed documentation.
* You lose that feeling of guilt that you get everytime you run the
program and think of all the starving Shareware programmers in the
world.
-------------------------------------------------
HOW TO REGISTER:
* Print, fill out, & send REGISTER.DOC (along with a check or money
order for $10.00) to: Dave Haynes
46 Garrard Rd. S.E.
Rome, GA 30161-9149
