Disclaimer : ~~~~~~~~~~~~ The Author of thiz software is not responsible for any damages caused by thiz programm. If ur hard-disk is toasted after using thiz PPE, it's ur fault, not my ! U may use thiz programm and give it away as long as u didn't want any money for it. (No one would pay money for thiz crap =) ) If u are a SyZo and work at the german Telekom, don't use thiz programm ! If u give thiz programm away, pleeze let all dox in da archive. The next who d/l it would be happy. 2. What is it ? ~~~~~~~~~~~~ FORD PREFECT'S LOGOFF MATRIX is a high-configurable LogOff Matrix for PC-Board. It includes PPE execution just before LogOff, messages to SyZo and Co.SyZo, definable BBS-Advertisements, message to next user and much more ... 3. How to install it ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The installation is quite easy. Just follow these steps : a) Create an directory (e.g. D:\PCB\PPE\LOM) and unzip the archive in thiz dir. b) Check if all files are included in thiz package : Name Size Checksum 1 Checksum 2 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ LOM.PPE 28,879 CC64 172B FILE_ID.DIZ 708 N/A N/A LOM.DOC 10,942 N/A N/A LOM.CFG 1,855 N/A N/A BOARD.AD 320 N/A N/A SEC2LOW.ERR 97 N/A N/A It doesn't matter if the SEC2LOW.ERR, BOARD.AD, LOM.CFG and FILE_ID.DIZ aren't included, but then u have to create them by ur own ... But u can create a new LOM.CFG if ur one is missing by just executing da LOM.PPE. A LOM.CFG will created in the PPE-Path. If the LOM.PPE doesn't exist, just call my board and d/l da newest version of the LOM. c) Load ur PCBSETUP.EXE and press 'B' twice. Now edit ur CMD.LST. It should look like thiz : �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袴� � CMD.LST Editor � � � � Charges Per PPE/MNU File Specification -or- � � Command Sec Minute Use Keystroke Substitution � � 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� � � 1) G 0 0 0 D:\PCB\PPE\LOM\LOM.PPE � � � � ESC=Exit AltI=Insert AltD=Delete AltR=Repeat Alt5=25/50 F2=Edit � 훤 15:40:11 袴� 09.06.95 袴袴� F1 � help 袴袴 caps: OFF num: ON ins: OFF 暠 d) Save diz crap and edit ur LOM.CFG as follow : Line 1 : Put here the SysOp name to which the messages entered at the LogOff Menu should go. Line 2 : Put here the Co.SysOp name to which the messages entered at the LogOff menu should go. It's hardly recommend that u use thiz field ! If u haven't a Co.SyZo, put ur name here ! Line 3 : Shall the LOM display a file right before HangUp (Y/N) ? Line 4 : Which file to display (e.g. LATER.PCB) at LogOff if Line 3 set to Yes Line 5 : How many to PPEs to execute (before LogOff and after the User has chosen to LogOff) ?? max. 3 - Put a 0 for NONE ! Line 6 : First PPE to execute if Line 5 = 1 Line 7 : Second PPE to execute if Line 5 = 2 Line 8 : Third PPE to execute if Line 5 = 3 Line 9 : Would u like to display a free definable line at the LogOff Mainmenu (Y/N) ?? Line 10 : Enter here the text to display if Line 9 = Y .. U can use PCB Colorkodez, of coze. The text will be shown at Line 21 of the screen (I think =) ) and the end-line will be dropped to line 22. Hmm .... Just check it out ! Line 11 : How many BBS Ads to display ?? (MAX. 6, 0 to disable) If the user selects SHOW BBS-ADVERTS u can show him 6 ads from wellknow boards. The SysOps of the boards just have to upload an .PCB or .ANS of there BBS and u can show there ads via LOM. Line 12 : 1. BBS ad to show if Line 11 = 1 In my BBS i display the file BOARD.AD which is included in the archive. Line 13 : 2. BBS ad to show if Line 11 = 2 Line 14 : 3. BBS ad to show if Line 11 = 3 Line 15 : 4. BBS ad to show if Line 11 = 4 Line 16 : 5. BBS ad to show if Line 11 = 5 Line 17 : 6. BBS ad to show if Line 11 = 6 Line 18 : Path and Filename to store Message-to-next-caller If u display das message via the LOM, the LOM path would be the best Line 19 : Path to store Message-to-next-caller without filename! Line 20 : Would u like to display the Message-to-next-caller before execution of LOM (Y/N) ?? U need no other PPE to display it, it's build-in Line 21 : Display a "FORMAT C:" Prompt (Y/N) ?? Line 22 : Display "FORMAT C:" Prompt before or after the LogOff screen defined in LINE 4 (B/A) ?? FORMAT C: - PROMPT NOT IMPLENTED YET !! Line 23 : Here u can define a security which is needed to leave a message-to-next-caller Line 24 : File to display if Security is too low to leave a message to da next caller (if included SEC2LOW.ERR in this archive as an example) Line 25 : Your registration numba (00000 if unregistered) U can get ur serial numba from me for free, later more ... Now save thiz file ... e) Edit da Display files u've defined to fit ur needs =) f) Hmm .. I think that's all folks, just test it ! 4. Registering ~~~~~~~~~~~ If u wanna register thiz programm, u have to different ways : 1. U can decompile thiz shit (i give no warranties if UR decompiler can decompile it!) and hack my serial-numba system. I would understand that if u live in a foreign country and don't want to call my board in Germany to register. - OR - 2. U can call my board THE SEVEN GATES at +49-5254-958024 (Germanien) Apply as a new-user or use "GAST" with da password "GAST". Then u can choose at da main-menu "REG" and u will get ur serial numba for free about 30 seconds later :) 5. Decompilers ~~~~~~~~~~~ I know, at the moment there are two good decompilers for PPEs aviable. U may decompile my PPE (if u think it's fun, why not!) but i'm not responsible if thiz PPE will kill ur Users after decompilation. If u wanna have the sources, call my board, and we can talk about it ! 6. Known bugs ~~~~~~~~~~ I don't know if it's a bug, but i haven't really tested it in Multinode systems. If u are runnin' a multiple-node system, please tell me, if thiz PPE will work. Hmmz ... Bugs ?? This programm has no bugs =) (GRIN!) I don't know any bug that causes ur system to crash, if u find a bug, please tell me ... 7. Future versions ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Some things i will implent in future versions : - a "FORMAT C:" prompt - better GFX - more PPEs to execute - tell me what u want ! 8. Where to get new versions ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ U can get da newest versions of my PPEs at da following ESCAPE dist.sites Name: Country: Number(s): 컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴 Land of Rape and Honey Germany +49-6190-930693 +49-6190-74799 Golden Image Germany +49-8039-45756 Hideout Germany +49-6119-545013 Escobars Hideout Holland +32-16-502915 Deep Waterz Belgium +31-50-343808 The Seven Gates Germany +49-5254-958024 The fastest way is, of course, to contact my at my board THE SEVEN GATES (ESCAPE/PARANOiA d-site) There u WILL get da NEWEST versions ...
