- A SUGGESTION
- ++++++++++++
-
- Several Wildcat! SysOps have written to me over the past several months to
- express their appreciation for the SysOp utilities I've written. As you
- probably know, all of my utilities are public domain. I don't seek, and
- won't accept donations or registration fees for any of them.
-
- Recently, the group at Technique Computer Systems, the people who wrote
- TomCat!, came up with an interesting idea. They released a utility called
- TCRENUM, which renumbers your Wildcat! message database and resets pointers
- both in USERFILE.DAT and in TCUSER.DAT. Instead of charging a registration
- fee, they suggested that sysops make a charitable donation as a way of saying
- 'Thanks' for the utility.
-
- I found that to be an intriguing approach ... and I obtained their permission
- to 'borrow' the same concept:
-
- If you're using SysOp Utilities from the Charlatan's Cabin BBS, I'd like to
- invite you to send a contribution to your favorite charity as a token of
- thanks for the programmer's efforts.
-
- I won't suggest any particular amount, or any particular charity, but if you
- feel like letting me know about it, drop a post card or a note to:
-
- Michael Conley, SysOp
- The Charlatan's Cabin BBS
- P.O. Box 1572
- Studio City, CA 91614-0572
-
- Thanks for thinking about it ... and remember that suggestions or problem
- reports are best handled if you leave me a comment on the board, either by
- calling the Charlatan's Cabin at (213) 654-7337, or via RIME, address your
- mail to Michael Conley, routed to ->CABIN in either the Wildcat conference
- or the Common conference. (Please be sure to send it ROUTED ... by placing
- the node id on the FIRST line of the text like this:
-
- ->CABIN
-
- Thanks ...
