- Hi my name is Jerry Brown I'm the primary sysop of Last
- Chance Christian BBS. I have been trying to learn to program
- in Turbo Pascal. It has been a new and exciting adventure
- but, I'm finally starting to pick it up. I have compiled a
- batch delay type program which I am and have been using on
- my bbs which allows me the opportunity to break out of my
- autoexec.bat before it executes my Bulletin Board System. I,
- like a lot of other sysops run my bulletin board from the
- autoexec.bat so that if the system reboots whether after a
- power failure or just after a scheduled event I can stop the
- execution of the program in the case of a corrupted database
- when it goes into a loop. I've found this to be very
- helpful, even a life saver at times when I would be stuck in
- a infinite loop I am able to stop it with two distinct ^C's
- or ^breaks or continue the execution of the program by
- pressing any other key. This is not a very complex program
- and has been created by others but, to me it has been a
- learning experience and hopefully a helpful utility for
- whoever needs it.
- My bbs has always been a free open bbs and I am trying to
- keep it that way. I hope creating this utility and others in the
- future to help generate some donations/contributions to help
- with the upkeep of the bbs. Hope you can use this utility and
- would appreciate your call to my bbs and let me know if the
- utility is of use to you.
- I call the program Hold_it! but, have change the actual
- name of the executable program to HOLD just to make it a
- little easier to execute. The program is simple to use from
- your autoexec.bat or any batch file where you want a delay
- just place a line that says HOLD 10
- this will delay execution for 10 seconds, just change the 10
- to the number of seconds you would like and thats all there
- is to it. Keep your eyes open for more USEFUL SOFTWARE at a
- Usable Price from -J*A*B Select SOFTWARE-.
