- Birthday Door
- The Short Instructions
-
- This is a simple door consisting of two parts:
-
- 1) the Birthday external. This is a user-accessed external which allows your
- user to enter the day and month of their birthday into the Birthday File.
-
- 2) the BirthdayUpdate external. This is an external which can either be run
- daily by the sysop, to generate the "Birthday Bulletin" text file of birthdays
- on the BBS on that day, or run on entry into the BBS for users, which will
- display the current list of birthdays to the caller.
-
- Install both of these as you would any other door, specifying the BBS path,
- door path, and application to return to; and install them in your software
- as instructed (depending on which BBS system you are running)
-
- This program is shareware. If you like it, use it, or think it works for
- you, send $10 to: Benjamin Kuo, 3419 East 7590 South, Salt Lake City, Utah
- 84121-5439.
-
- If you want better instructions on installation, see the (many) other doors I
- have released for Second Sight, Red Ryder Host, WWIV, and Mansion bulletin
- board systems.
-
- If you need to reconfigure your system, delete the "Birthday Options" and the
- "BirthdayUpdate Options" files in your system folder.
-
- This is a Silver Yucca Software ULTRA QUICK release. I saw something like this
- on a PC system, so I whipped up the door. If you want any changes or enhancements,
- a note on what you want accompanied with a shareware fee is HIGHLY effective.
- This door isn't too fancy because a)I haven't received a new shareware fee for
- any of my doors in about three years, and b)there might already be something like
- this available for many bulletin board systems, and c) Really, what do you expect
- for a door which announces birthdays?
