                            Best Wishes for 1995!

          And what did you get for Christmas?

          This year I got something I always wanted, a viewing utility
          for NJBBS.  Now I get to share my gift with you.  The program
          is my Christmas present from Chuck Hoeltje, the SysOp of The
          INFO-NATION BBS in Mount Laurel.  

          Chuck enlisted Todd Whitmore, a local programmer, to write the
          program.  Todd donated his time and worked late to complete
          the viewer so I'd have it by Christmas.  So I thank both of
          them very much for their time and thoughtfulness.

          The viewer, NJBBS.EXE,  has a host of features and is so easy
          to use.  Just type NJBBS, that's all you need to do.  It will
          load in the most recent issue of NJBBS found in that directory.
          The viewer will even remind you when it's time to get a new
          issue of NJBBS, pretty cool gift.

          You can sort NJBBS by sysop, location, bbs type, or baud rate.
          It's all pretty self-explanatory, just use the F-Keys and 
          read the prompts.  The sorts are lightning fast.  The display
          can be changed by pressing the mode key, and it will display
          your sorted list with the columns is various order.  Just keep
          pressing the mode key until the arrangement you want appears.
          You can change the display colors to anything you like also.
          


          You can configure a list of area code and exchanges that are
          toll free and the program will search out those boards.  You 
          can save the found numbers to a file or print them out.  

          To configure your toll free list press [F6] from the main 
          viewing menu.  Select LOCAL [F2] from the config menu, then
          press [F2] to edit, then 0 to access the first entry.  Type
          in the first area code, a "-" and exchange on your list. Keep
          selecting and editing until you've entered all your toll-free 
          numbers (or 10, which ever comes first),  press [F3] to save
          this configuration.  From the main screen you can now select
          FIND [F2], then [F7] for local.  The program runs so fast you
          won't beleive your eyes.

          Unlike other viewers, the NJBBS viewer also works on USBBS, 
          which is a large national listing found on many boards (the 
          latest issue for January is USBBS128.ZIP).  To have  NJBBS 
          read in the USBBS list type: NJBBS -U and it will read in the 
          most recent issue.

          There are other features, there may even be some I haven't
          found.  It sounds complicated but it's not.  Todd didn't 
          write instructions, because like all good Christmas presents,
          it's a toy, it's meant to be played with.  

          So that was my Christmas gift from Chuck and I hope my friend
          the custom home builder might be inspired to talk to Chuck 
          about next year's gift.  In the meantime, you might want to
          stop by The Info-Nation BBS, at 609-235-0183.  The BBS is
          great and is featured in this month's issue of BBS CALLERS
          MAGAZINE (available at COMP-USA).  If you do stop by, you also
          might want to drop a thank you note to Todd Whitmore for his
          effort in creating NJBBS.EXE
