***Joke of the Day***
ver 3.1415926535
FreeWare by Platypus Programming
Extra Documentation!
This is a little extension to the .DOC to fill you in on a couple of
things. You can read the rest of the documentation first, if you wish,
but be sure to come back to this!
Included in this package are the following files:
JOKEODAY.COM - The main program
JOKEODAY.DOC - The documentation
JOKES.DUM - The default joke file (contains 81 jokes)
JOKES2.DUM - A new, extra joke file (contains 200 jokes)
FILE_ID.DIZ - A description of the program for BBS systems
supporting the FILE_ID.DIZ
README.1ST - This file
To use the new joke file, you SHOULD be able to use the -f option
explained in the .DOC. HOWEVER, this option has been known to work some
times and not others, for a reason that we at Platypus Programming have
not been able to discover as of this time. We hoped that it would be
worked out by the time we were ready to release version 3.1415926535,
but, alas, we have not been able to get it. SO, the solution, if you
are sick and tired of the jokes in JOKES.DUM, is to either delete
JOKES.DUM or back it up, and rename JOKES2.DUM to JOKES.DUM. Joke Of
The Day, upon running, always checks in the current directory for
JOKES.DUM unless a different file is specified with -f. As stated,
though, -f doesn't always work! The best solution is to put Joke of
the Day in its own subdirectory ALONG WITH a joke file named
JOKES.DUM, and run it from there. To do this, there should be these
consecutive lines somewhere in your AUTOEXEC.BAT:
CD\JOKEODAY
JOKEODAY
CD\
This will go into the JOKEODAY subdirectory, where you hopefully have
JOKEODAY.COM and a file named JOKES.DUM, run it, and then head back out
into the root directory. If you can't get any of this to work, see the
COMMENTS section of the .DOC file.
WHAT IS FREEWARE?
A program and/or package that is freeware, such as this one, is a
program that can be used as much as the user wishes, for however long
the user wishes, and can be copied as many times as the user wishes,
with no guilt or fear that the Feds will come after you. It costs you
nothing except that the authors hope you will laugh when you use it and
have fun with it, as that is what Joke Of The Day is all about, having a
good laugh while gagging on Saurkraut juice. Life is grand, and so are
pianos, so why can't we all just lick our feet and say "Hallelujah"?
CREDIT WHERE CREDIT IS DUE
Again we must thank Ms. Davidson of Iowa for her interest in this
program and her support of Platypus Programming!
