A sample configuration file is included with the PPE. The format of the configuration file is found below. Line 1 - Sysop Name. Put your name here. Doesn't do much until you register. Line 2 - BBS Name. Put your BBS name here. Doesn't do much until you register. Line 3 - Registration Number. You get this when you register. Details on how to register are found below. Line 4 - Seamless Support. With this set to "Y", the header showing the program and copyright notice, and the Registered To: doesn't show up. Only useful if registered. Line 5 - Unhighlighted colour. The colour you want shown for options on the lightbar menu that are not highlighted. Line 6 - Highlighted colour. The colour you want shown for the option on the lightbar menu that is currently highlighted. That's it! WHEW! Installation is finished! MULTI-LINGUAL SUPPORT: This PPE fully supports multiple languages. The way this is done is the prompt file for a language must have the same file extension as is specified in the file PCBML.DAT. For example, say you have a German language and the file extension is GER, therefore he prompt file for QWK Packer must have the file extension GER. The default prompt file is QWKPRMT. You can rename this file to whatever languages you use and modify it. If a prompt file for the language is not found, the default prompt file is used. The format for the promt file is: Line 1 - The prompt used at the main screen (lightbar screen) Line 2 - The prompt used for non-ANSI callers Line 3 - The prompt used at the modify settings screen Line 4 - The lightbar text for downloading a QWK packet (max 40 chars) Line 5 - The lightbar text for uploading a REP packet (max 40 chars) Line 6 - The lightbar text for downloading a QWK packet - personal mail only (max 40 chars) Line 7 - The lightbar text for selecting conferences to scan (max 40 chars) Line 8 - The lightbar text for selecting ALL conferences (max 40 chars) Line 9 - The lightbar text for deselecting ALL conferences (max 40 chars) Line 10 - The lightbar text for modifying the settings (max 40 chars) The next 4 lines are limited to a maximum of 60 chars, including @X codes. Line 11 - Maximum messages per QWK packet text Line 12 - Maximum messages per conference text Line 13 - Maximum personal file attach limit text Line 14 - Maximum public file attach limit text Line 15 - The "If setting is 0, default value will be used" text.
