This information is for people upgrading to TextView 3.0 or above.

TextView has been completely rewritten in the PCBoard Programming
Language!  Your .CNF files will work as is without any modification,
but your TextView based doors will have to be converted to run via
TV.PPE.

Start by making a backup of your old TextView door setups in case
something goes wrong.

You can get rid of a lot of old files that are no longer needed.
After backing up, erase the following files that were used with older
versions of Textview:

PROCHAT
TV.EXE
?.BAT  (all protocol batch files)
TVLOCAL.BAT
NOTPCB.DOC
NETWORK.DOC
PROBLEMS.DOC
HEX2DEC.EXE
PROT.DAT

Next, copy all of the distribution files to a directory that you will
run all of your TextView based features from.  Let's pretend you are
using D:\TEXTVIEW for this.

Copy your TV.SYS file to D:\TEXTVIEW.  Run TVKEY.EXE to convert your
TV.SYS file into TV.KEY.  Now you can erase TVKEY.EXE and TV.SYS.
TV.KEY is the replacement for TV.SYS for TextView 3.0 and above.

Now you will need to run PCBSETUP.EXE and edit your CMD.LST file.  You
must make an entry for each TextView based feature you want to run.  Here
is a sample of how it might look:


Command         Security      PPE/MNU File -or- Keystroke Replacement
============    ============  ========================================
1) NEWUSER      10            D:\TEXTVIEW\TV.PPE D:\TEXTVIEW\NEWUSER.CNF
2) SUPPORT      10            D:\TEXTVIEW\TV.PPE D:\TEXTVIEW\SUPPORT.CNF

If you want your TextView based feature to be available via the
Door menu as it was in 2.x and below, you must edit your door batch
files and your DOORS.LST information.  First, go to PCBSETUP.EXE, edit
your DOORS.LST entries for TextView based features to be "Shelled" by
putting a Y in the "Shelled" column.

Next, you must edit each of your door batch files so they run TV.PPE.
A door batch file for the "Newuser" door above would look like this:

@ECHO OFF
ECHO !D:\PPS\TV.PPE D:\TEXTVIEW\NU.CNF > PCBDOOR.TXT

Note, there is no line that says "board" at the end, because this will
run in shelled mode.

If you set-up where each TextView based feature is both run as a
main menu command and a door, then your caller will get the feature
regardless if he or she types "OPEN NEWUSER" or "NEWUSER".  The
fastest method of running is to not type OPEN or DOOR before, then the
Textview feature will appear instantly without having to shell out and
run the door batch file.
