│░░░░ INTRODUCTION ░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░│
└────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
TABLOID is a program that I designed to greet the user's with one of 100
possible TABLOID HEADLINES. The program displays a "newspaper" type format
with a random headline, using the user's real name.

│░░░░ REQUIREMENTS ░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░│
└────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
I have currently tested TABLOID 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. It uses the WWIV color codes, so it should be very
compatible to your user setups.
┌────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│░░░░ INSTALLATION ░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░│
└────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
Installation of TABLOID is easy. First, put the TABLOID.EXE program into
the main BBS directory. In your LOGON.BAT file, add the line TABLOID.EXE.

│░░░░ REGISTRATION ░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░│
└────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
Registration of TABLOID is totally voluntary. I ask for a $5.00 donation
towards development of further products like TABLOID.EXE. If you can not
afford a donation at this time, just drop me a note or send me E-Mail and let
me know what you think of the program.

└────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
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 giving me the inspiration to keep going!
