                      "Another Great Program by Doveware"

                           Written by Alex Rubenstein


      Hello to all of you QuickBBS sysops out there. This little
program is designed for QBBS only (any version it should work). IF you
don't have QuickBBS, then I guess you are out of luck. Future versions
of this will support more types of BBS enviroments.

      First of all, I suggest that you create a folder for TODAY. This
will keep things simple. After making this folder, put in there:

      TODAY.PRG      TODAY.CFG      TODAY.JAN      TODAY.FEB
      TODAY.MAR      TODAY.APR      TODAY.MAY      TODAY.JUN
      TODAY.JUL      TODAY.AUG      TODAY.SEP      TODAY.OCT
      TODAY.NOV      TODAY.DEC      and all of your screens that you
                                    wish to have TODAY listing's in.

      The config file is quite simple to. Four lines plus all of the
names on the files that you want the TODAY listing in. The first line
tells TODAY where the SYSTEM.LOG is. The second line is where your
screen files are. These are the base files that will have the listing
for today inserted, more on that later). The third line points to
where your text folder is (in QBBS). The fourth line is where your
TODAY data files are. EXAMPLE:

      D:\QBBS\SYSTEM.LOG
      D:\TODAY\
      D:\QBBS\TEXT\
      D:\TODAY\
      GOODBYE
      TODAY


      EXPLANATION: The first thing TODAY does is look around in the
current directory for TODAY.CFG. THAT MUST BE THERE. It loads that,
and finds out where everything else is. Then it compiles that TODAY
listing (you guessed it! This is another Midnight event program). After
that, it looks for the files that are listed in the end of the
TODAY.CFG (in this case, GOODBYE.??? and TODAY.???), reads them, adds
the TODAY listing (where you tell it to, that is coming up), and then
writes it to where you specified in line 3.

      In the example listed above, you would have maybe:

            GOODBYE.ASC
            GOODBYE.VTC
            GOODBYE.ANS
            TODAY.ASC

      Today would read each one in, ALL OF THEM, even if they aren't
all there. 

      In the GOODBYE files, you must specify two things. Where you
want the TODAY data (in the GOODBYE text), and where the file ends.
Specify where you want the files by typing "HERE" in all caps on its
on line with a CR+LF after it. The go to the very end, and put a "END"
in all caps, at the end of the file, with a CR+LF after it, all by
itself. Look in the GOODBYE.ASC that came along in this LZH.

      I have written this file at 6:00 AM after a long night of
programming, so if anything is unclear PLEASE DO ASK!
