            If you have a network that you would like a wider
            distribution, give my BBS a call, download FSNet.Zip
            or obtain the latest one from VERT (Synchronet Homebase)
            and join.  If you bring your net to me, I'll distribute
            if for you in zone 169.

==========================---===========
Now...onto this file stuff - Legal Stuff
==========================---===========

Legal crap....its just that...enclosed is a sample menu and the source code
for this baja.  You can run it as is following these simple directions and
no harm will come to your system.  Although you will probably modify the
source code which then becomes your own fault, not mine.  So...the legal side
only to cover my butt.  You use/incorporate this file and use on your
computer...its at your own risk.  This program carries no guarentees or
refunds.  BTW - this is FREEWARE and may not be sold in any form without my
written permission.  In otherwords, don't put this BAJA on a CD-Rom and sell
it...doing so is a violation of my rights.

=====================================
Modify GOODBYE.SRC to meet your needs
=====================================

A good program leaves lots of notes in their program so others that pick it
up will have the ability to make modifications...including the original
programmer...so they can easily find stuff.  You will discover notes in the
GOODBYE.SRC that will hopefully help you.  Have no fear, you don't have to
remove the remarks, when BAJA converts the file, it should remove all comment
lines it doesn't need.

You will want to modify the GOODBYE.SRC file to meet your own systems needs.
After all, this file was written by my system.

I have noted the part of the file that will need modificiation in the near
future...after your expert mode users get use to this file being there.  Just
remove the # and space that follows on each line to line it up (looks pretty)
and run Baja GoodBye to modify the bin.

You will see that the file gives the person logging off the ability to send
Feedback to Sysop #1 or one of 3 Sysops on my system.  This way I don't have
to forward mail to the right Sysop.  This way people are made aware there
really are 3 Sysops online.  They can send feedback to #1 and in case they
don't know I'm #1, they can also send it to My Gizmo.  Its a confirmation as
to where the user is sending email.

So if you have multiple Sysops, you wil see how to add them.  If you have less
you can remove the listings.  And if you only want mail sent to #1, you can do
that too.

You will notice that one can logoff using G or O.  I thought it was silly for
someone using Default O then having to go to G to logoff, while someone using
maybe Wildcat or another Baja Main Menu moduale was using G.  This way I could
use one moduale for all the different ones.  So I made both G and O available
for that last minute logoff.  But wait...what if someone changed their mind
and didn't want to logoff at all?  Well...per the menu, hit your enter key and
you will return to the BBS --- what's neat is it works.  Now if I can figure
how to bring the system back to the login prompt...now that would be a real
plus...if you can please share it with us.

================
Update your Menu
================

Don't forget...after you modify this file...update the GOODBYE.ASC file.  If
you are still getting errors with the ANS2MSG.EXE...here is how to fix it.
When you save your file in ANSI format using thedraw, when asked Max Output,
hit N then enter...no more errors when you convert using ANS2MSG.

=====================
Modify your Menu File
=====================

To activate this thing...just go into Default.SRC (or whatever) and look for
the line:

cmdkey O

  The "O" could be a "G" depending what you are modifying.  In the area, you
  will see "logoff" which is exactly where you want to make your modification.

  Overwrite or remove "logoff" replacing it with:  EXEC_BIN GOODBYE

  There are two locations in the default you will find this, under the main
  area and file transfer...be sure to get them both.  Your modified look will
  be something like:

  cmdkey O
      file_download_batch
      if_true
          end_cmd
          end_if
      EXEC_BIN GOODBYE
      end_cmd

======================================
When all done...run SRC's against BAJA
======================================

Your SRC modifications will not take effect until you run the files against
BAJA and reboot your BBS Computer.

  Examples:    BAJA GOODBYE
               BAJA DEFAULT

==================================
Give Credit where Credit is Due...
==================================

First off, had it not been for Charles McColm, I probably would never have
given BAJA a try...at least not for awhile.  Charles put out a BAJA called
byebye, unfortunately he didn't include the source code in his file.  I had
a problem that I may have been able to correct myself if I had the source
code.  Plus I didn't want users to leave Auto-Writes as they logged off.  So
I wrote my own program and here it is.  Thanks Charles, I did like your baja
enough that you got me to write my own.

=============================
NOTE to FREEWARE BAJA writers
=============================

When you write BAJA files and make them available as FREEWARE, please
consider including the source file.  First, you help educate people on how
these files are written and second, a person can modify the file to meet
their systems needs.
