PCBFX Version 2.4  Copyright 1992-1996  Yandell Custom Software

      PCBFX  provides  a profile report of a file's  transfer  information
      such as who uploaded, number of downloads, date of upload, the  date
      of last download, if time / bytes are charged,  enough time / bytes,
      and compressed file information (oldest and newest dates, quantity).
      PCBFX  uses the PCBoard DOWNLOAD.TXT file for this  information.   A
      "database" may optionally be made from DOWNLOAD.TXT for instant file
      profiles.  A (T)op download profile may be displayed which shows  up
      to  the  top 50 (Sysop configurable) downloads on the  system.  Also
      available  is a Sysop (Z)ippy text search/scan for the  DOWNLOAD.TXT
      file,  and  a user (Y)our-profile scan where the caller  may  review
      their  own file transfers.  Every option is  configurable  with  the
      enclosed,  easy to use FXSETUP program (some profile scans will  not
      be available, depending on how PCBFX is installed).

      NOTE:  This QUICK.DOC covers basic PCBFX installation for  use  with
      the  PCBoard file DOWNLOAD.TXT only.  Creating and  maintaining  the
      optional  database for instant profiles and top 50 downloads is  not
      covered here.  Refer to PCBFX.DOC for database installation and use.

      Many  other aspects of installing and using PCBFX are  described  in
      detail in PCBFX.DOC.

      QUICK.DOC is not intended as a replacement for PCBFX.DOC.  QUICK.DOC
      allows  you  to QUICKLY install PCBFX and  see  its  powerful,  high
      quality  features.  You may then decide if you  wish  to  completely
      install  PCBFX on a customized basis using the detailed  information
      contained in PCBFX.DOC.

      -[ Step 1 ]----------------
      Extract  the  entire contents of PCBFX23.ZIP into its  own  location
      (directory) where doors are generally located on your system.


      -[ Step 2 ]----------------
      The  intent in PCBFX is to install it as an "add-on" command on  the
      PCBoard main menu, rather than in a door menu. First decide what you
      would like this new "command" to be. Some examples:
         FX - File Xfers
         FI - File Information
         FP - File Profile
      Install a door called FX or whatever you decide to call it into your
      DOORS.LST file using PCBSETUP.  Answer the following questions:

                                       USER DOOR
        Filename   Password  Sec Login SYS  SYS  Shell (other parameters)
        --------   --------  --- ----- ---  ---  ----- ------------------
      #) FX                   10   N    Y    N     S   (set as needed)

      --------------------------------------------------------------------


      -[ Step 3 ]----------------
      Configure a door (batch) file. If the door is named FX the following
      examples would be the contents of your door file named FX  (NOTE: do
      NOT place an extension such as .BAT on the FX file):


                                        (no space here)
      @echo off                               ||
      C:\PCBFX\PCBFX.EXE  PCBFX.CNF  %PCBDRIVE%%PCBDIR%
      ------------------  ---------  ------------------
              |               |        |-> This node's home directory.
              |               |
              |               |
              |                ---------> The name of the configuration
              |                           file. Enter a file NAME only.
              |                           NEVER place a location here.
              |
               -------> The executable file name.  Placing its location
                        in-line as shown results in MUCH faster loading
                        time for the program.

      The  two lines above are all that is required to execute PCBFX  when
      running as a SWAPPED SHELL door in PCBoard 14.5a through 15.2x


      -[ Step 4 ]----------------
      Run:
      FXSETUP.EXE

      > Pressing F1 while editing a parameter will display a help screen!

      The F1 help screen displayed at each parameter should be  sufficient
      to install PCBFX on a temporary basis for a quick evaluation.

      NOTE:  Answer the parameter: "Database mode for PCBFX to use" with a
      "1" (number 1)  for this QUICK installation mode.  To use the  other
      database modes you MUST refer to PCBFX.DOC.

      When modifying PCBFX.CNF file(s), use ONLY the enclosed FXSETUP.EXE.


      There are MANY other features which QUICK.DOC does not  cover  which
      enhance PCBFX operation. Instructions for these features are located
      in PCBFX.DOC and should be reviewed.
