.· You may love me or hate me for this, but I got rid of the support
to make a whole bulletin menu. There's no weird "Bulletin List File"
anymore; there's now just ONE config file where you type in the
filename of ONE bulletin to display. This program went way off
from what I originally wanted it to be - An easy-to-setup little
program that'll display an ANSI or ASCII to the user. That's all,
and that's what it is now. I fear that the previously weird setup
has already scared off a lot of sysops.
If you really want to make a whole bulletin menu, there are many
programs out there that will simulate a door menu, which you can
run Fake Bulletin off of in each menu choice.
.· The keyboard input timeout STILL wasn't always working properly.
It's fixed this time.
.· If the time rolled past midnight while a user was in the door it
would give the user 24 hours of time left and disable the keyboard
input timeout feature until the user pressed a key, therefore
allowing the user to sit there doing nothing for eternity. Fixed.

.· The keyboard input timeout wasn't always working properly. Fixed.
.· The error handling has been improved. A mistyped command line
will now result in an error screen explaining the correct syntax.
.· It was ignoring the user's time remaining set in the config file
and instead only read it from the dropfile. It will now set the
time remaining in the door to the value defined in the config
file if it isn't 0 and if it's less than the time remaining in
the dropfile.
.· I had forgotten to include the samples.zip file in version 1.0.
It's now included. I apologize for the mishap.
