The Daily Horoscope Version 3.1
Written by James R. Davis

This program will require your name to play when in LOCAL mode. To call up
this program, you need to have a .CFG file present in in the current
directory.
Modify the supplied DHSCOPE3.CFG to your needs. It is commented and contains
information not supplied here.
To invoke this program in local mode, simply type DHSCOPE3 or DHSCOPE3 LOCAL
at the DOS prompt. Or to get this help type DHSCOPE3 ? at the DOS prompt.
To set this program up as a door, modify the supplied DHSCOPE3.CFG and use
the command DHSCOPE3 DHSCOPE3.CFG at the DOS prompt. You can change the name
of the .CFG file and include drive and pathname.
To create bulletins of the complete horoscopes for all zodiac signs, use the
following switches:
/B=D:\path\filename - Creates a bulletin with all horoscopes in the
path directory, on drive D: as filename. Note
If drive, path or filename are not included,
the default filename will be DHSCOPE. and
DHSCOPEG. in the current directory.
/PCB - Will generate PCBoard color codes in the
bulletin.
/ANSI - Will generate two files; "filename" in ASCII
text and "filenameG" in ANSI color.
/NOASK - Will override the "see all horoscopes" prompt.
FOR REGISTERED USERS ONLY!
/NOCAL - Will suppress generating the calender during
door operations. Does not effect bulletin
generations. FOR REGISTERED USERS ONLY!
/RAND - Will scramble the sentences each time the user
enters the door. Does not generate a different
horoscope, just rearranges the sentences.
Here's some examples:
DHSCOPE3 /B=C:\BBS\BULLETIN\BLT99 /ANSI
Will create BLT99 in ASCII and BLT99G in ANSI on drive C: in the \BBS\BULLTIN
directory.
DHSCOPE3 /B /PCB
Will create DHSCOPE in PCBoard color codes in the current directory.
DHSCOPE3 NODE2.CFG /RAND /NOASK
Will run the program as a door, mixing the sentences each time with no
prompt to see all the horoscopes, using the NODE2.CFG configuration file.
If an error occurs during program execution a file named DHSCOPE3.ERR will
be created in the current directory and specify the error with a brief
description. Type this file if an error occurs to see what you may have to
change to fix it. If the error cannot be fixed, let me know exactly what
the file contains. Also, if an error occurs that is not due to a program
malfunction, or due to invalid data a program counter number will be
displayed. Please write down this information as well as what occured
before the error so that it can be recreated and correctly fixed. I am
confident that there should be no errors within this program. I hope that
you enjoy this program, and have fun with it.
