RandScr version 1.0
Copyright 1993

RandScr is a BBS Screen randomizer. RandScr chooses at random a file from
an archive and copies it to the designated file and directory. Great for
rotating Welcome, logoff or any other screens for any bbs.
SCREENS.ZIP is a sample archive. The file contains many excellent ANSI screens
that hopefully will give you several ideas of how to use this program. Rotate
at random any screen on your bbs. This may be helpful in
» promoting message bases
» promoting doors
» promoting new features
» inform users about things they may never explore
» providing variety at login and logout
» _______________________________ (name your use!)
SPECIAL THANKS!
I would like to acknowledge the following authors and ANSI artists for use of
their ANSI screens in the sample SCREENS.ZIP:
