Found my old software

Show all headers | View raw

While configuring a BBS (Synchronet) that I run to host the HOBBES
archive, I noticed an old OS/2 program in there that I wrote in 1996.

I decided to unzip it and look at the .txt file and yep, it's my
softare.

I had forgotten about it (it's been 28 years!), but now I remember the
emails I would get from surprisingly large companies saying they are
using it. Including the request I got in 1999 asking if it's Y2K
compliant, lol.

It's just simply a program that will execute an OS/2 program at
intervals (kinda like using cron): TIMEBOY.ZIP Notice in the .txt file
that I use pulling usenet articles on a timer as an example. :)

See, I was a "boy" in 1996 (not really) and now I'm a "guy"
