└──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
Redneck-A-Day is a simple little program that will generate logon screens that
have a different flavor of humor. It will create both an ANSI and ASCII screen
of the filename you choose so you can use it anywhere on your BBS. And it will
or at least, should. Work with any BBS software available.

None. Zippo. Ziltch. This program is FreeWare so you won't get a neon message
that describes how cheap you are to your users <G>. I did this for 4 reasons:
1. Anybody with menial programming skills could have done it. Probabaly would
have charged for it, so I beat them to the punch <EG>.
2. I hate having to pay for every piddly utility that comes down the pipeline
and I'm sure you do as well.
3. The pig in the ANSI isn't my work. Unfortunately, the artist didn't sign it
so I can't even give him (or her) credit here.
4. Most, not all, but most of the quotes are based on the comic routines of a
comedian named Jeff Foxworthy. I wouldn't take money for something he did
and I'm not inclined to take food from his mouth. In fact, I hope this
will increase his popularity. So he can look on it as free advertisement.

IF YOU DO LIKE THIS PROGRAM AND USE IT, PLEASE DO ONE OR BOTH OF THE FOLLOWING
──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
1. Send me a picture postcard from your hometown. I like that sort of thing as
it lets me know where my program is being used. Plus I'm looking for a nice
place to retire <G>. Send it to:
Cleve Sanders
P.O. Box 276435
San Antonio, Texas
78227-6435
2. Go to a Jeff Foxworthy act or buy one of his tapes. He'll appreciate the
jesture even if he doesn't know why.

└──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
This program is guaranteed to do nothing but take up drive space. If you, your
users, your best friend, dog or anyone else goes out and shoots someone, holds
up a bank or does any act that is generally considered illegal, immoral, or
just plain stupid, its NOT my fault. This program contains no subliminal type
messages, even when played backwards.
In Redneck speak thats:
This program ain't guaranteed for squat, Bubba. Whadda want for nuthin?

└──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
In this zipped file you should have the following files. If not, you can FREQ
a fresh and unadulterated copy from my BBS, Gamers Edge BBS Fido 1:387/875 or
call the board at (210)623-1516.
REDNECK1.EXE » Thats the main executable program.
REDNECK1.CFG » The configuration file. Read INSTALLATION for info on this.
REDNECK1.DOC » You're reading it now.
FILE_ID.DIZ » File description for BBS's that use it.

└──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
This thing is easy to use. All you have to do is put the 2 files, REDNECK1.EXE
and REDNECK1.CFG in any directory of your choosing. Then follow these steps:
1. Edit the REDNECK1.CFG to suit your desires. It contains only 3 lines:
LINE 1 : Path of the area you want the ANSI and ASCII files written to.
Be sure to include the drive and DO NOT put a trailing backslash.
EXAMPLE: C:\RENEGADE\MISC
LINE 2 : Filename you wish to use for both the ANSI and ASCII files. DO NOT
PUT AN EXTENTION, the program will do that.
EXAMPLE: LOGON1
LINE 3 : If your BBS software uses a Pause character or string, place it
here. If it doesn't, leave it blank.
EXAMPLE: %PA
2. Setup your nightly maintenace batch file to run REDNECK1.EXE and you are
all finished. The jokes are internal to the program and they are spit out
by reading the system date of your machine. So if you are getting the
Christmas jokes in July, its time to reset you System Date. No, you can't
look ahead at the jokes, you'll have to see them when your users do. :)
Ain't I a stinker? <G>.
3. Enjoy the program. You'll get a different joke every day for a year. And
leap years are covered as well. If you have comments, questions or some
suggestions for future projects. Write me at the address above. See Ya!
