Detect Ansi PPE v0.2 A MPP Production 1996 Marcus Holmes Summary: Basically this is a very small ppe that will automatically force the caller into ansi mode without asking the user if they want graphics or not. This is useful if you run more than one node and one node is just for paying callers who already have ansi capabilites. It is also useful for those users who use scripts to call boards to download new QWK packets etc. Directions: Run install.com. ;) OR you can do it the long way: Basically just copy the PPE to any directory of your choosing, for example: C:\PCB\DETECT In the \DETECT directory you would store detect.ppe. Then, in go into your PCBOARD directory and type, MKPCBTXT. Edit record number 149. To do this type F3, then 149. Replace the default prompt with this line: !C:\PCB\DETECT\DETECT.ANS _ Of course, your directory will be different, this is just an example. The underscore "_" is very important. Don't forget to put it in ;) Just exit MKPCBTXT and it will save automatically, and the installation is complete! Or of course, just run INSTALL.COM that came with this ppe. Disclaimer: Basically I don't guarantee anything. I used this on my own board and it seemed to work without any real problems. It isn't that complicated of a ppe, but I don't guarantee anything. It is your responsibility to use this program, and anything that happens to your computer, yourself, or anything else is your fault, not mine ;) Registration: Guess what, this is free! You have received the copy everyone gets. If you call my board, and run the program "DETECT" from the main menu and fill out the neccessary information, you will receive a new version, specially made to suit your BBS. Also, if you would like, I can also attach a special ansi BBS add to the ppe that would be displayed to your users, sort of like a pre welcome.ans file. Call my board to find out about this, it costs 2 dollars, and it keeps my board up ;) My Board: If you have any bug reports, donations, griefs, gripes, congratulations or just want to say hi, call my board or send me an email, I will try to respond as soon as possible.
