Detect Ansi PPE v1.3 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!
