In The Year 1995 ------------------------------------------------ Nize Ansi Logo By Univerz Ex. Providence! Bug Reports And Beta Testing By *MYSELF* =) This PPE is a 100% Providence Production In 1995 This PPE is for PCB 15.21 Providence! - "It's quality not quantity that counts!" 旼컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴� � -(�) WHAT DOES iT DO (�)- � 읕컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴� This utility let's the user add there own bbs:es to a list. Then you can add the list to the logoff if you want to. Thanx to Univerz for the ANSI logo. Some features: � Possible to delete boards entered � Nice ansi logo � You can look who entered the written boards � The user can download the board list � You can add the list to logoff � Heaps of diffrent color schemes Well this is some of the features in this version, more to come (i hope) 旼컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴� � -(�) HOW TO iNSTALL (�)- � 읕컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴� If you already have a version installed read this if not look futher down. The following is for those who has version 1.O and 2.O and should upgrade to this. [A] Copy the NEW .PPE, .DOC, .CFG, .ANS to your \ABBSTLO directory. Delete the file ABBSTLO.DA1. If you have version 2.O jump over this step. [B] Now this step is a must if you don't want to lose all the writen bbs:es. Edit your BBSLIST.TXT that should be in your \ABBSTLO dir. It should look something like this depending on how many bbs:es you have entered: Number of Nodez:o2 Board Name :PALACE OF DARKNESS Phone Number :o11-GET-iT! Sysop :HANDO/ODiN Speed/Baud :288oo Groups on Board:PiE! Board Program :PCB 15.21 Well ok now you *HAVE* to put in a new line, if you don't the program will fuck up completley when deleting boards. Well after the line 'Board Program:XXXXXX' you should enter a new line which should look something like this: User Entered It: XXXXXX Instead of those XXXXXX you should write which user who entered the board. You can look that up in the PPE. Now do like this on every entry in this file. [C] Now edit the .CFG file for your requierments. Instructions are included in that file. [D] I have added a little change to the program. When you're gonna list the bbs:es in the logoff the only line you gotta have is: !PATH:ABBSTLO.PPE /LIST The parameter /LIST tells the program to list the bbslist. So delete the lines you had before and take this one instead. [E] Unzip the file COLPACK.ZIP. In there you will find diffrent zips that includes diffrent color schemes so you can match the colors in the PPE with the colors in your bbs. Each zip should include one .CFG file and one ABBSTLO.ANS file. It was thanx to WiNTERMUTE i tought of this becuase he wanted this PPE to match the colors in hes bbs. Thanx m8 ;). Now your finished updating this PPE! Heres some help for how to install the program for the first time: [A] Make a directory in the \PCB path. Ex. C:\PCB\PPE\ABBSTLO\ [B] Copy all the files from this archive to the directory. Look further down for a list of the files which are included in the archive and should be copied. [C] Run PCBSETUP, press B and B, then edit the CMD.LST. It should look something like this: [COMMAND] [ACC] [PPE/MNU FILE SPECIFICATIONS:] 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 BBS 020 C:\PCB\PPE\ABBSTLO\ABBSTLO.PPE Of corze should you change this path to the path were you store this ppe on your harddisk. [D] Now if you want to have the generated bbs list in the logoff you should (it isn't necessary) edit your logoff script. If you don't know what you logoff scripts name is check it in the PCBSETUP. Anyway you should add the following line in that file: !PATH:ABBSTLO.PPE /LIST You can put this line on whatever place you like in the bbs, for example in a bulletin but the best place (in my opinion) is to put it in the logoff. The parameter /LIST tells the program to list the bbs list and if you forget it the program will start as usual. [E] Now edit the .CFG file with an editor. For example EDIT in dos. The instructions are included in the file. [F] Unzip the file COLPACK.ZIP. In there you will find diffrent zips that includes diffrent color schemes so you can match the colors in the PPE with the colors in your bbs. Each zip should include one .CFG file and one ABBSTLO.ANS file. It was thanx to WiNTERMUTE i tought of this because he wanted this PPE to match the colors in hes bbs. Thanx m8 ;)! [G] That's all now test if it works, if it doesen't go through this steps again. And if you have further problems just contact me at any PiE! member board and i will try to help you. 旼컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴� � -(�) FiLES iN ARCHiVE (�)- � 읕컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴� Heres a list of the files that are included in the .ZIP ABBSTLO .PPE - The main PPE that you run in PCB. ABBSTLO .CFG - Config file for this ppe. ABBSTLO .DOC - The file you are reading right now! ABBSTLO .ANS - Ansi file with the logo inside. ABBSTLO .TOP - Header file for the list, change it if you want to! ABBSTLO .FOT - Footer file for the list, change it if you want to! COLPACK .ZIP - In this file you will find some zips with diffrent color schemes so you can choice a scheme that matches your board perfectly! PIE-1996.NFO - Info file for Providence! and this ppe. FILE_ID .DIZ - Description of file. And here a list of the files that the PPE creates: ABBSTLO .BBS - The BBS file were the program stores the BBS:es. ABBSTLO .DAT - In this file it stores who added the diffrent BBS:es. BBSLIST .TXT - This is the file that the user can download. SWAP0 .DAT - A temporary swap file. Can be safely deleted! SWAP1 .DAT - Also a temporary swap file SWAP2 .DAT - Another swap file. Don't try to alter any of the above configuration files, if you do so you risks to fuck up the whole program and lose all entered BBS:es. If the program can't find anyone of the configuration files it will recreate them and if it does that all BBS:es will be lost in the process. If you encounter a swapfile some thing wrong must has happened, such as an read/write error or a computer breakdown. In the worst case the program must reacreate the above files. 旼컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴� � -(�) REViSiON HiSTORY (�)- � 읕컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴� Here comes some history of the PPE if you wan't to see it for some reason: Version O.5�, beta test version INFO - This was only a beta test version. Not released. Version 1.Oa, first public release ADDED - File handling and checking got much better. FIXED - Fixed some minor bugs, colors and other stuff. Version 2.Oa, second public release ADDED - I added a configuration file with options in. ADDED - Now a user with a special access can delete any board CHANGED - Rewrote the code a little bit. Nothing you will se. FIXED - Sometimes the PPE was unable to delete BBS:es FIXED - Fixed some wrong colors who didn't match correctly. FIXED - If 'delete a board' option was used and no boards was written the program crashed. FIXED - If 'list user who has added board' option was used and no boards was written the program would also crash. FIXED - Before the user had to write exactly the name with both big and small letters when he would delete a board. Now he can write in both big and small letters mixed. FIXED - When the program creates a missing file it would end the first time you started it. CHANGED - I rewrote and changed the doc a little. CHANGED - I puted the screen in a ANSI file for flexibility. ADDED - Added 'who entered this board' in the BBSLIST.TXT file. ADDED - Some diffent colorpackages that you can use. FIXED - And some minor buggs who i don't have any time to list. Version 2.5a, third public release ADDED - You can now press [ESC] to exit the PPE! ADDED - You can specify how many MAX entered boards should be. FIXED - Fixed a graphics bug. CHANGED - The lightbar should be 25-50% faster depending on modem! ADDED - Added the option /LIST CHANGED - Changed the source code a bit so it would be simpler for me! Nothing you will ever notice! CHANGED - The lightbar layout a little bit. FIXED - I fixed a nasty bug when the PPE recreates the config! Functions that may be coming in the future * DBase III support * Smarter programed (=higher speed) * Messages in a CFG file ...and you're ideas of course! 旼컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴� � -(�) ...AND SOME LAST WORDS (�)- � 읕컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴� Ok here goes some personal greets: .
