   Hi!

   Hello Paul,   
      
   22 Jun 15 21:05, you wrote to me:   
      
    PH> Hi Sean... just to let you know you are getting out over my side of   
    PH> the globe. hope all is well with you :-)   
      
   Glad to know it's getting out!  I added a little feature to MBSE for myself.    
   :)   
      
   See, I enjoy putting up "holiday" ANSI/ASCII screens.  Now MBSE can do so if    
   someone wants to turn on bulletins, but I wanted something simpler, much like    
   what I did when I ran Maximus/2.  Using Maximus' scripting language, I    
   programmed in a little script that checked if "holiday.bbs" (Maximus requires    
   all ANSI screens to be converted to bytecode to show correctly) existed, it'd    
   show it.  I put a little line in newuser.c that checks for the existence of    
   "holiday.ans/.asc" and shows it.   
      
   A very small thing to do but I thought it was fun.  I also wrote a few scripts    
   that work together that allow me to automate the nodelist and infopack archive    
   creation and hatching for my own FTN network, Micronet.   
      
   MBSE is quite powerful in many ways if you don't mind getting under the hood    
   and learning.
