Would like to have an ANSI screen that counts down the days till Halloween. I'm guessing that it would requre some kind of JS work in it.

Is this something that one of you might be able to do? Might also be neat to have one for each upcoming holiday that I can just swap out the day after the previous one. Of course, I'm sure that anyone that is good at coding could do it so that it changed automatically. :)

Parole Software has one that does Christmas ... makes a new ANSI every day. I use it. Nothing for Halloween tho.

These sort of computations I can whip up in DOS in minutes.

I know this isn't exactly what you're looking for, but somewhat related - I have a Synchronet JavaScript mod for displaying holiday screens at certain times of the year, on specific dates (month & day) or sets of screens for an entire month. It can also use users' IP location to restrict holiday screens to be displayed to only certain countries (for instance, July 4th only in the USA). This is the download link:

That would be great if I was still running Synchro. :)

Ah.. Since you mentioned possible JS work in your previous message, I guess I thought you were using Synchronet (since Synchronet uses JS for its mods).
