ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ Introduction: ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ The CFS.PPE is a replacement to the PCBoard's F command. It is using a special technique for listing file descriptions, flagging and viewing files. CFS was tested for more than 4 months, with DESQview, DOS, OS/2, Windows95 and over 1000 users. Features: ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ þ Supports a fully configurable windowed directory selection screen. þ Supports arrow keys for moving up and down in the directory selection screen. þ Supports multiple pages in area listings. þ Supports up to 400 areas per conference. þ Supports next & previous page option in case there are too many directories per screen. þ Supports a graphics light-bar with percentage of the files that are scanned in each area. þ Supports flagging files with arrow keys (up & down). þ Shows number of bytes left for download before and after every file flagged. þ Supports viewing text & files and/or archived files. þ Supports moving to next area in the same conference, once the listing of the current area has ended. þ Supports scrolling one line up and down in the files listings. þ Command line is always active at the bottom and shows the available options for the user. þ Supports full color configuration in the CFG file. þ The user will be warned if his calculated time after flagging a file is less then 5 minutes. Installation: ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ The CFS.PPE does not require any special installation. All you have to do is Install the PPE at the CMD file. The CFS colors can be configured in the CFS.CFG file, using a text editor, such as PCBEDIT. This program does require that your callers have ANSI enabled on there end. The CFS can get a conference number from the command line and work at the desired conference WITHOUT joining the conference. For example if you wish that the user will ALWAYS see the dirs in conference 0 no matter on what conference he is at the moment, then activate the CFS.PPE as: "CFS;0".
