ACNFN: Automated Conference Listing Generator (by Network) *PCB 14/15*
---------------------------------------------------
   A utility that creates the conference display file. Most Sysops
   use an editor to create the conference listing, more commonly
   called CNFN. As you add/change/delete conferences you end up
   spending hours trying to realign and colorize the display. If
   you happen to add a whole network, you could very well spend
   more time fixing the conference listing, than creating the
   conferences themselves. This utility does not create any
   extraneous files on disk and uses the CNAMES file as input.
   There is no need to create a second file for the colorized
   listing, as the program uses the @X variables made available
   in PCBoard v14.5/15.x. Just about everything is configurable,
   from verbage to colors. SUPPORTS LONG CONFERENCE NAMES!!

Baseball Dice
-------------
   Baseball Dice plays pretty much like a regular game of baseball
   with the exception that you use dice to "hit" the ball and we
   do not count the balls and strikes (ie: 1 strike = a strikeout
   AND 1 ball = a walk). The object of the game is to beat the
   game score that I, the Sysop, have already posted. Once you
   have beaten the score, you may choose to quit the game or you
   can play through the entire 9 innnings.

   haven't been able to do it yet, and I play this constantly.

   more time fixing the Forum listing, than creating the
   Forums themselves. This utility does not create any extraneous
   files on disk and uses the FORUM.DAT file as input. There is no
   need to create a second file for the colorized listing, as the

   look for a file in the DOOR directory. When the non-MultiNode
   door is started, a file is created in that Door directory. When
   another NODE attempts to play the same door, INUSE will check
   for the existance of that file and if it exists will inform the

Remind Me!
----------
   REMIND ME! is an idea whose time has come. The ultimate
   REMINDER Door. More and more we find ourselves having to
   remember things such as:
   . Anniversaries          . Birthdays
   . Appointments           . Upcoming Events
   . Subscription Renewals  . Bill due dates
   . Items to shop for

   This list is only limited by your imagination and I am sure you
   will be able to come up with many more ideas for its use.

   You and your callers can choose from any of the following
   intervals when entering a Reminder. When REMINDERS come due
   they will be displayed as soon as you open the Door (registered
   version only) or after the opening screen has been displayed
   (unregistered version).

          . Remind caller DAILY
          . Remind caller on a particular DATE
          . Remind caller on a particulkar DAY of the WEEK
          . Remind caller on a particular DATE of the MONTH
          . Remind caller on EVEN or ODD days (every other day)

   You supply the Door with the number of days prior to the day
   the Reminder is supposed to display and it will start
   displaying from that day forward. You can consider this a
   warning period and is a perfect way to keep the mind refreshed
   just prior to the actual date of the REMINDER.

   Using REMIND ME! on a regular basis should go a long way toward
   helping your callers (and you) remember the many important
   events you have to deal with.

   Note: The SYSOP has the option to enter Reminders to his/her
         callers. You can choose to leave a Reminder to ALL
         callers regardless of their Security level OR you can
         choose a specific Security level or range of levels to
         send the Reminder to OR you can leave a Reminder to a
         SPECIFIC caller by name!
