Welcome to the text file for the first ever Coconuts BBS intro.  The
Coconuts BBS is a sub-board of the Nuclear Meltdown BBS.  What this means
is that you must call Nuclear Meltdown BBS and then you can run the
Coconuts BBS through NM.

 Why in the world is it setup that way?

Well, we figured that settling for only one board per phone line was a
waste (and I wanted my own board but I have no extra phone lines) so we
decided to setup another WWIV board as a door program from the Nuclear
Meltdown BBS.  With a small C program (thanks Joe Snow) and some minor
batch file programming The Coconuts BBS was ready to rock.  All this
happened about the beginning of June '95 (not long ago, huh?).

 Why did you make an intro for your board?

Well, Joe Snow has been making intros and various other programs for a few
years now and he's been getting calls from all over the USA and even from
around the world so I figured I'd give it a shot.

 How did you get all those fantastic graphical and musical effects in such
  a small program?!?

<g>  Well, hey, it's not all THAT big...I've seen many worse.  It does have
music and some small effects.  Look for something a bit more impressive in
the next Coconuts BBS Intro.

Quick Info

This intro is almost all in C with a dash of ASM for kicks.
It requires a 286 (never tested though) but a 486 is highly recommended.  =)
It also requires a VGA/MCGA graphics card.  An Adlib-compatible sound
card is recommended to hear the tunes.
I know it's kinda big for a BBS ad but I'm not very good at optimizing
and I don't feel like it anyways.

Well, it's hot and I'm sick of writing this text file...  =)
Go run the Coconuts BBS Intro again and then call today!!!
