Programming and Documentation by Bill Masuka The Equinox BBS (312) 254-3413 BBS ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- System Requirements a. PCBoard 15.21+ (This program was created with PPLC v3.1 and will not work with any version less than 15.21.) b. It's not needed but, placing this PPE and all your PPE's into different subdirectories is helpful. This allows you to more easily update or remove a PPE with it's accompanying files. Plus if you place more than one PPE in a directory you may run into the program trying to use a file it shouldn't. This is all that is needed to run this program. With an uncertain republic of backdoors, trojans, etc we pride in ourself to guarantee that any product we release will not contain any such backdoor, trojan, or other badly thought of product. Each program has been tested under through conditions to ring out bugs, security violations and everything that we are able to think of. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- INTRODUCTION: ÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍ The Enter PROMPT Enhancer is the best program to replace your existing Press ENTER to Continue prompt. There are nine (9) different styles to choose from and a wide variety of colors for each. It is totally configurable! An added feature that is missing from most prompt replacement programs is the detection of low baud callers. A problem that can occur when a low baud caller logs on is that due to the speed required in processing Animation prompts, it can take a lot longer for the program to detect a carriage return than normally. This program detects low baud callers and instead of using the animation prompt you chose, it will instead produce a text based color prompt. INSTALLATION: ÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍ Installation could not be any simplier! First, unzip the program in a directory. Next, load your PCBTEXT file (MKPCBTXT.EXE) and replace prompt #418 with the following.....(this is just an example...use your own drive and directory) !C:\PCB\PPL\ENTER\ENTER.PPE REMEMBER TO PLACE THE EXCLAMATION MARK (!)

Edit the ENTER.DAT file (which is the programs configuration file). The first line of the .dat file is the type of prompt you want displayed. (See the ENTER.DAT file for a complete listing of all the prompts available) The second line is the color of the prompt. (The color code is a number and not a PCB Macro code.) Thats it! It's all finished and ready to run :-) Ohhh, one last note...The file "PROMPT" is a PCBoard Macro text based prompt that is shown to the low baud callers. This is also configurable. Just edit it (using PCBEDIT) to the way you want it. REGISTRATION: ÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍ Registration is $10...
