Conference Join v1.0 Freeware replacement for PCBoard v15.0 "J" command! The installation of CJoin is fairly straight-forward. CJoin should be installed in your CMD.LST as a replacement for the J command. Go into PCBSetup CMD.LST section (B: File Locations, B: Configuration Files) Now go to the CMD.LST section and F2 to edit it. Add a line as shown: Command Security PPE/MNU File -or- Keystroke Replacement ======= ======== ======================================== J 5 E:\PCB\PPE\CJOIN.PPE Make the security level at whatever you desire, it is a good idea to make it the same as you defined in the "User Security Levels" section of PCBSetup. Then lastly add the full path and filename to CJOIN.PPE. For more info on CMD.LST see PCBoard docs. CJoin allows you to group networks (up to `9' at this time) and display them to your users in a much more organized manner. For those running just a single network, such as myself, I have my conferences grouped into categories instead by network (ie; Administrative, Tech_Support, Vendor_Support etc) and I've included them as samples. The configuration file must be located in the same directory as CJOIN.PPE. A sample config file is explained below. Remove the comments if you use the one below: E:\PCB\PPE\CJMENU ;Path/filename of the Menu of networks or categories 8 ;Total number of networks or categories listed below E:\PCB\PPE\CJ-A ;Path/filename submenu of network #1 or category #1 E:\PCB\PPE\CJ-I ;Path/filename submenu of network #2 or category #2 E:\PCB\PPE\CJ-G ;Path/filename submenu of network #3 or category #3 E:\PCB\PPE\CJ-T ; E:\PCB\PPE\CJ-V ;and so on up to 9 (max) if you have that many. If E:\PCB\PPE\CJ-P ;not, then simply end the config file with the last E:\PCB\PPE\CJ-R ;category, but make sure the no. on line 2 of config E:\PCB\PPE\CJ-E ;file matches the number of networks or categories! Also, for those users who know exactly what conference they wish to join, CJoin recognizes stacked conference number/name of (ex:) J 225, and drops them into the requested conference, bypassing the menu. The users who know just where they are going should not be penalized . Full PCBoard conference security, additional time, etc is maintained. This is freeware (always happy to see donations though ) so use it at your own risk. I will not be responsible for lost data or any kind of damage the use of this program may cause. It has been thoroughly tested on my system and works flawlessly here, but I am just covering my assets. Well that's about it, if you use it, enjoy it! If you have any ideas or suggestions to improve on it, let me know in Intelec's PPL forum. And check out our MsgQuest PPE, a freeware PCBoard 15.0 PPE to insert script questionnaire answer files into your message bases, it's fully configurable and as is CJoin, it's free! And thanks to Clark Development for coming out with the PPL compiler! It is undeniably the greatest piece of work since PCBoard software! Cliff Watkins P.O.
