Super Split Screen Chat PPE v1.0 for Pcboard by ViGilante on 11/25/93
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
SCHAT has many features, see the SCHAT.CNF and OCOMMAND.CNF files for
details, and instructions on how to customize this PPE for your system.


Setup
~~~~~
 1. Make a separate subdirectory, perhaps "c:\pcb\schat".
 
 2. Unzip the entire contents into dir created in step 1.
 
 3. Edit PCBTEXT record 333 (Hello, this is @OPTEXT@.~~) to say
    (!c:\pcb\schat\schat.ppe) or whatever dir you made.
 
 4. Go into PCBSETUP, (B) File Locations, (B) Configuration files,
    and add the following entry to CMD.LST (actual # is inconsequential):

ÉÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍ»

                                ^^^^^^^^^^^^^                             
                                or whatever dir you made.

5. Enjoy the fastest, most configureable and feature-packed (that I know of
   anyway) Split Screen chat PPE for PCBoard.


Advanced Setup
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In addition to the options available for customization via the .CNF files,
you can design your own chat screen- to an extent.  If the files SCHAT.TOP,
SCHAT.MID, and SCHAT.BOT exist in the SCHAT directory, they will be displayed
instead of the default screen.  Just make sure that nothing will be displayed
beyond the 79th column, or the screen will scroll and screw everything up.
PCB color codes and ANSI codes do not take up any 'real' space on the line,
so you may change colors as many times as you want.  Basic sample files are
included in SAMPLES.ZIP.


Disclaimer
~~~~~~~~~~
I don't even gaurantee that this will take up disk space.


Registration
~~~~~~~~~~~~
For five bucks, the Unregistered message in the middle of the screen will
disappear.  Note that not a single actual feature is crippled or omitted
in the distribution version in any way, as that would be LAME.
