DWNLD.PPE, written by Steven Hauswirth 様様様様様様様様様様様様様様様様様様様 DWNLD.PPE is a replacement for PCBoard's "Enter the Filename to Download" prompt. It makes a full screen download counter that displays info about the last ten files flagged for a batch download. This info can include: filename, filesize, file date (DWNLD.PPE only), transfer time, free file, and no time. Files suggested for operation: DWNLD.PPE The full screen download counter PPE DWNLD.PPS The source code for DWNLD.PPE DWNLD.DOC This file . DWNLD.CFG Configuration file to set colors and text shown. Installation is long but fairly simple: 1) Copy all the suggested files to your C:\PCB\PPL directory (or any other location of your choosing) 2) Run MKPCBTXT to edit your PCBTEXT file (should be done for each PCBTEXT you have). 3) Press the F3 function key and select record #61. 4) You'll see a line that says something similar to: Enter the filename to Download (Enter)=none Replace it with a line such as this (reflecting your chosen dir): !C:\PCB\PPL\DWNLD.PPE 5) Press the F3 function key and select record #728. NOTE: If you do not have a record #728 then you are either not using PCB 15.2 or have not updated the PCBTEXT file to work with 15.2 6) You'll see a line that says something similar to: Enter the filename to Download (Enter)=none Replace it with a line such as this (reflecting your chosen dir): !C:\PCB\PPL\DWNLD.PPE 7) Exit PCBTEXT and make sure that your batch file that loads each node of the BBS has its environment variables PCBDRIVE and PCBDIR set to the nodes home directory. 8) Make sure that you load SHARE.EXE in your autoexec.bat. 9) Configure the CFG file for your BBS. The sample Config file will work, but if you want to change colors or text then this is where you can do it. And thats all to it! The source code for this PPE is located within this archive as DWNLD.PPS. Modify it as you need to for your system, but please do not redistribute the modified source code.
