Great idea. Notice that 99% of ³ this matrix/login looks like that one. Reasons for doing this one are: ³ ³ 1) Couldn't live with a backdoor in the code. ³ 2) Needed support for PSA(1) the Alias PSA to to house the ³ real name for non-alias supporting nets. (If the PSA isn't ³ there you'll never notice. ³ 3) I wanted some of the other features in his coming soon ³ and didn't want to wait. ³ ³ Sure, that's getting real picky, but when you can't contact the author ³ you do what has to be done. ³ ³ ΖΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝ Features ΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝ ³ ³ -Optional 'Disclaimer' routines. See disc.cfg (multiple locations) ³ -Multiple sysop lightbar configurable from PCB screens ³ -Requires user to enter password when checking for access. ³ -And some other miscellaneous internal stuff to increase ³ execution speed. ³ -Added a routine in that acted like the Indies hack of the PWA ³ matrix to display the password to the local sysop. Configurable ³ -Added a line to the configuration file for the comment to allow ³ the input of the Feedback string. ³ ³ ΖΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝ Introduction ΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝ ³ ³ Well, here's new release version of the Lightbar/DOS matrix. ³ ³ I only recently switched to PCBoard so there may still be bugs that ³ the users here didn't catch. Let me know what you find. ³ ³ Based on what I got from the Liquid Flesh PPE Dox, look, and feel ³ the functions that people seem to want are: ³ ³ -Complete Logging of all the Matrix Functions. ³ -'Oneliners and More' built in to form a complete frontend. ³ -And some other things as well. Ask me, I'm flexible..:) ³ ΖΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝ Installation ΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝ ³ ³ First, unzip into a directory. If you didn't get the original ³ archive, you'll need to create the following sub-directories: ³ APPS ³ INFOFORM ³ TXT ³ PCB ³ Then move DIRS.TXT, BLACKLST.TXT, DISCLAM.TXT, NEWUSER.APP, NTYTVALD.TXT, ³ and BLACKLST.ANS to the text dir, the INFO*.* files to the info ³ form dir, and the *.PCB files to the PCB directory. ³ ³ Next go through all the .CFG, .PCB, and .TXT files to conform to your ³ standards and setup. ³ ³ ³ Next, you'll have to edit the following entries in PCBTEXT. ³ #149: !C:\PCB\PPE\ANSI.PPE ³ #259: !C:\PCB\PPE\MATRIX.PPE ³ #260: _ <-- Yes, that's an underscore..:) ³ ³ Now, the final step is to setup the NUV. It should be run as close to ³ logon as possible, so that it can be used to hangup on unvalidated users ³ right after they apply. I run it in my main info screen as a !ppe, but ³ there are many other ways as well... ³ ³ ΖΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝ Comments Etc..
