DAYSB4 is a utility that will create a screen informing your users
of the number of days left till Christmas. DAYSB4 is written in
QuickBasic but does not require a run-time module. Place the DAYSB4.EXE
in any directory that in in your path. You will also need to create a
CFG file so that the program can get the information it needs to run
properly. The CFG layout is as follows:
------- CFG for WC! 3.x color codes -------
The Parole Board BBS <- BBS Name
WC <- put "WC" for WC! 3.x color codes
C:\WC30\DISP\HELLO5.BBS <- Path for file to be created
NO <- File not needed
------- CFG for PCB color codes -------
The Parole Board BBS <- BBS Name
PCB <- put "PCB" for PCBoard color codes
C:\PCB\DISP\HELLO5.BBS <- Path for file to be created
NO <- File not needed
------- CFG for ANSI & ASCii files -------
The Parole Board BBS <- BBS Name
NO <- Do not want WC! 3.x color codes
C:\WC30\DISP\HELLO5.SCR <- ANSI file path
C:\WC30\DISP\HELLO5.BBS <- ASCii file path
-----------------
The CFG files must contain 4 lines. Use an ASCii editor like EDLIN
or QEDIT to create these CFG files as they will not leave hidden control
codes scattered from here to eternity. Once the CFG is created, you are
ready to run DAYSB4.
DAYSB4 DAYSB4.CFG
DAYSB4 will read the CFG file, compute the remaining days till
Christmas, then create the file(s) that you have specified. DAYSB4 may
be run in a batch file.
This software has been tested thoroughly on my system and several
others with no fatal side effect. This DOES NOT mean that it will
necessarily operate the same way on your particular system. The USER
accepts all responsibility in using this product.
