LOCAL (V 2) Server for F6FBB BBS

This small program is designed to display to the user, an ASCII text file, when he or she enters the appropriate command at the normal BBS prompt. It may be used to inform users of local events or extra BBS facilities.

The advantage of displaying the text in this manner rather than using ENGLISH.ENT is that it is only shown at user request and therefore users do not get bored with a page of text that they have previously read, nor will it confuse TPK systems by asking for the user to press ENTER to continue.

A simple message can inform users of the availability of local information, for example :-



Type RALLIES or EVENTS or CLUBS for info on these topics.

The program will display any ASCII text file within the PG\TXTFILES directory bearing the same file name as the renamed original program, but with the extension INF.
