(x) If you want to use the [D]ownload option you MUST enter the directory of your directory files in your DLPATH.LST of the specific conference! (a) Just unzip these files to a directory of your choice. (b) Take a minute to edit the NDFILES.CFG to contain the propper datas to fit your system. (c) Edit Picture-Files for your need (d) Run PCBSETUP and edit your CMD.LST so it will run this program in place of PCBoards (F) command. (Remember that each PCBoard conference can have it's own CMD.LST file so changing the (F) command will not effect any other conferences) EXAMPLE ------- 1) F 0 X:\PCB\PPE\NDFILES.PPE Please be aware that you must enter the SYSOP-Level (!) at the UPDATE-PPE. So no user without Sysop-Level can start the UPDATE-PPE. ***** If you like to have NDFILES run as an event, do the next few steps: *** If you are running PCBoard without a FrontEnd Mailer: (f) � Start PCBSETUP � press [E] to enter Event Setup �袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴敲 � Event Information � � � � � � Is a Times Event Active : Y � � Name/Location of EVANT.DAT : X:\PCB\GEN\EVENT.DAT � � Location of EVENT Files : X:\PCB\GEN\ � � � � � � For EXPEDITED Events: � � � � Minutes Prior to Suspend All Activity : 0 � � Disallow Uploads Prior to Event : N � � Minutes Prior to Disalow Uploads : 0 � � � 훤袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴� � After entering the datas, move cursor to "Name/Location of..." � Press F2 �袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴敲 � Node 1: Event Editor � � � � Batch Begin End Last � � Act Mod File Time Time SMTWTS Date Date � � === === ======== ===== ===== ====== ======== ======== � � 1) Y S UPDATE 01:00 02:00 YYYYYY � � 2) � 훤袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴� � Move cursor to BATCH FILE: UPDATE and press F2 �袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴敲 � � 튪: � 튏D X:\PCB\PPE\NDFILES � 튞DFILES � 튏D X:\PCB\NODE1 � 튎OARD.BAT � � � � � 훤袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴� *** If you are running PCBoard with QFront: (f) � Start QFCONFIG and choose the NODE to config. � press [E] to enter Event Setup � Add a new event �袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴[ EDITING EVENT 1 ]袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴� � � � � � Active: Y � � Type: Run Batch File � � Start time: 01:00 � � Stop time: 02:00 � � Day(s): Sun Mon Tue Wed Thu Fri Sat � � Date(s): 00-00-00 � � Flags: None selected � � FidoMail Flags: Scan new/Toss received/Allow requests � � Minimum cost: 0 � � Maximum cost: -1 � � Errorlevel: 20 � � Edit batch file: � � Description: Update for NDFILES.PPE � � Last run date: 01-01-00 � � � 훤袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴� � move cursor to "Edit batch file" and press [ENTER] �袴袴袴袴�[ EDITING BATCH FILE "X:\PCB\GEN\UPDATE.001" ]袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴� � � 튪: � 튏D X:\PCB\PPE\NDFILES � 튞DFILES � 튏D X:\PCB\NODE1 � 튥TARTER.BAT � � � � � 훤袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴� 旼컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴커 낡같굇굉께 6.
