               Docs for Date-A-Base version 2


You must go into an editor and change the name listed into
your directory name on lines
      232, 410, 455, and 538 of date.v2.p


Then just run MAKEFILE.v2 with /bin/csh and all the files
will be created.


You must then make you main directory public with

chmod 777 .

Just type 'datingame' and away it goes.

There is a copyright on the program. This doesn't mean you can't give it
away or modify it. It only means that my name is to appear in the 'bye'
procedure and the commented header.

Technical stuff
---------------

The differences between version 1.0 and 2.0 are:

In 2.0, the user no longer has to enter his own name. His login name
is automatically placed in the Date-A-Base.

Version 2.0 also support the wallclock function. The wallclock function
returns the number of seconds that have passed since Jan. 1, 1970.
This may be called something else on your system, so you can modify the
source to any function that is functionally the same.

In version 2.0 the data files (database, bbase and Questions) are places
in a hidden directory (.date). These can be moved to any directory as 
long as you change the 'reset' commands.
