-
- CC-Holiday is an automated Canadian holiday message maker for the BBS SysOp.
- This program will generate ANSI, and ASCII screens for a Bulletin Board
- System. Screens will appear on the BBS during Canadian holidays such as
- Labour Day, Thanksgiving, Christmas Day, New Years Day, etc. The purpose
- of this program is to make the life of a SysOp easier so he/she can do other
- more important functions towards the BBS.
-
- Once this program is set up correctly it is completely self powered. By this
- I mean that the SysOp does not have to check up on it once a day, or even once
- a year! This program will generate Canadian holiday bulletins and the SysOp
- doesn't even have to lift a finger.

-
- To set up CC-Holiday simply put it into your display directory. By this I
- mean, put the CC-Holiday files in with your ANSI and ASCII files. Then run
- the file SETUP.EXE and follow the online instructions. Once you have done
- this you are ready to set up CC-Holiday as an event on your BBS. Refer to
- your BBS documentation for more information on this topic. Your event should
- execute the file HOLIDY.EXE once per day.
-
- For SpitFire systems, edit your SF.BAT file to look something like this:
-
- Event_A
- REM Event for CC-Holiday
- CD\SF\DISPLAY
- HOLIDAY.EXE
- CD\SF
- GOTO LOOP:

-
- Why do I get an "Error in Configuration File" message?
- Please run the SETUP.EXE file.
-
- Why doesn't the ANSI and ASCII screens show up on my BBS, even after they have
- been made and are sitting in my display directory?
- Make sure the graphic file names are correct. Run SETUP.EXE to change the
- graphic file names. Your BBS software must be able to recognize the name you
- enter. For SpitFire systems, I recommend the file names ALL.BBS for the
- ASCII file, and ALL.CLR for the ANSI file.
-
- Why should I register this program?
- So you can raise your CyCom programers self esteem, as well as ensure the
- continual development of products like this.
-
- It just wont work, why?
- If your having major problems, please call Components BBS, at (416)-827-6284,
- or write to me (Address is stated above).
