//--------------------------------------------------------------------------- // Documentation for the LNZ.PPE. Version 2.0 //--------------------------------------------------------------------------- Description: Ever wanted to use the L, N or Z command of PCBoard across all conferences to search for files? PCBoard has a great file system for these commands. They are quick and well layed out. The only enchancment to this would be to search across all the conferences selected. Just like reading messages. Well, here's the perfect PPE to do such a task. This PPE look and feel like an internal command to PCBoard with one little display enhancement. Note: You must be running PCBoard v15.21 dated 01/19/95 or newer for this PPE to work. The reason why is because of the 'COMMAND' which has been added to the PPL Compiler. //--------------------------------------------------------------------------- Installation: There are three (3) steps to installing the LNZ.PPE program. 1) Copy LNZ.PPS & LNZ.PPE to your PPE (or PPL) directory. 2) Run 'PCBSETUP' and edit your CMD.LST file. 3) Add in three entries which resemble the following: L 20 0 0 C:\PCB\PPE\LNZ.PPE N 20 0 0 C:\PCB\PPE\LNZ.PPE Z 20 0 0 C:\PCB\PPE\LNZ.PPE That's all there's to adding this fine PPE to your private home collection of PPEs. Now here's a brief overview of the LNZ.CFG file. This file is what the PPE reads to know which conferences to scan if the user is registered for the conference. This is just an ASCII text file with the ranges of conferences to scan for. Example: 1-10 30-100 103 109 110-11 Each line will have a low number - high number or just a single conference number. You may have as many lines as it takes or just one line with the starting and ending number. If there is not a configuration file found the first time the PPE is executed, it will generate one with a 0-?? for you. ?? = High conference number defined in PCBSetup | Configuration Options | Messages Highest Number of Conference Desired: //--------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sysop Comment: Granted I haven't given you a lot of DOC for this PPE. I am not into writing detail DOCs for a PPE which is very easy to write and install. If you have any questions, give my BBS a call and leave me a message there. Alternatively, you may leave me a e-mail message on Salt Air with the name of steve.morris@saltair.com or in the RIME network. //--------------------------------------------------------------------------- Suggestion/Improvements: I am always welcome to suggestions or improvement made on this PPE. Starting with the next release, all suggestions I used will be given credit for in the HISTORY file. So please, feel free to leave as many as you would like. //--------------------------------------------------------------------------- Support: The Game Machine BBS -- Sysop: Steve Morris (801) 963-8555 300 - 28.8 baud 24 hours //--------------------------------------------------------------------------- History: (SEE 'HISTORY' FILE) //---------------------------------------------------------------------------
