This PPE can be installed as an addition to your CMD.LST file, as well as an addition to your list of internal function keys. Its purpose is to add a User File Editor that is accessable from PCBoard itself. In standard mode, it runs as a normal online PPE that allows access to a full featured User Editor (helpful to SysOps that perform board maintenance remotely, or for remote operator personal). In SYSOP or QUIET mode, the display will ONLY be seen on the SysOp's local screen - helpful for online maintence without having to show the online user any part of the editing process. It contains many other interesting features; the best way to find out if this .PPE might be useful to you is to try it out ... 컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴� 컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴� 굇�INSTALLATION檳굇굇굇굇굇굇굇굇굇굇굇굇굇굇굇굇굇굇굇굇굇굇굇굇굇굇굇굇굇굇굇 컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴� 1.

Please make sure you have 100k or so free memory or else you may receive a 'Variable Declaration Error' from PCBoard. (Red Box in the status line.) One possible way of freeing up memory is to not pre-load the CNAMES/PCBTEXT files.

This is because they are optional files. They will not be used unless you rename them to FILE.EXT (remove the _). It is packaged this way to prevent users who want to use the defaults provided in the program from using these files unintentionally, which simply slows down the loading process. ----------------------------------------------------------------- CUFE.DAT : Allows you to setup the specific security levels for the 3 PreSet Levels as well as other options used in the program.(the config'd number of users to jump with the <,> keys). If you encrypt your user file, you should also specify this fact to prevent editing of certain unavailable fields. ----------------------------------------------------------------- CUFE.COL : The color configuration file. Instructions are contained within the example file that comes with the program. ----------------------------------------------------------------- CUFE.USR = The User's Allowed to Access the Program. If you set the PPE up at a security level that many users have, but you don't want them all accessing the editor, you can simply put the User Names (one to a line) in this text file and only those people in the file can access the editor. This file is not used in the SYSOP or QUIET modes. ----------------------------------------------------------------- CUFE.PS1 : The Conference Configuration Setup File for: [*] Pre-Set #1 Key CUFE.PS2 : The Conference Configuration Setup File for: [&] Pre-Set #2 Key CUFE.PS3 : The Conference Configuration Setup File for: [%] Pre-Set #3 Key These files allow you to setup specific conference registration information which would be linked to a specific security level. An example best explains this process: If you decide to edit user JOHN DOE and press the [*] key, the following will occur: First, JOHN DOE's security level will be changed to the security level for the [*] key (Line 1 of the .DAT file) Secondly, if a CUFE.PS1 file exists, JOHN DOE's conference registration flags will be updated according to the text in this file. If CUFE.PS1 looked like this: ---------------------- 0-10,RXS 11,S 12-200,RXsnc 201-250,RxscN ---------------------- The following would occur: ***** Note the format of the file! The comma , must exist! ***** Line 1: Conferences 0 through 10 would have the R, X and S flags turned ON. All others remain unchanged. Line 2: Conference 11 would have the S flag turned ON, all others remain unchanged. Line 3: Conferences 12 through 200 would have the R and X flags turned ON and the S, N and C flags turned OFF. Line 4: Conferences 201 through 250 would have the R and N flags turned ON, while the X, S, and C flags turned OFF. The same holds true for the .PS2 and .PS3 files. Basically, there are 5 possible flags per conference. 旼컴쩡컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴� � R � Registered in Conference � � X � Registered in Conference when Expired � � S � Conference is Selected in Scans � � C � SysOp access when in the conference � � N � QWK Network Status in Conference � 읕컴좔컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴� You can force the flag ON by putting it in capitals as described above, and you can force the flag OFF by putting the flag in lower case as described above. Any flag not included in the configuration will remain unchanged. NOTE: To attain an "L" flag for a conference, you must force the "X" flag on, while all others are off.(ie: rXscn) "L" means that the user is Locked Out of the conference. 컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴� 굇�GENERAL PROGRAM INFORMATION檳굇굇굇굇굇굇굇굇굇굇굇굇굇굇굇굇굇굇굇굇굇굇굇� 컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴� 1. Special Case Fields ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- There are 2 editable fields that should be noted as different from the rest. The Upload Bytes and Upload Files fields are editable _ONLY_ if a) you do NOT encrypt your user file and b)if the user being edited is NOT currently online somewhere on the system. If you do encrypt your user file, please set the appropriate toggle in the .DAT file. Editing said fields while a user is online will not have any ill effects, but the values will not be saved. These two fields are not directly supported, consequently a custom procedure had to be created. 2. Miscellaneous ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- If a key is darkened, the field is not editable. If a certain PSA is not installed, it simply can not be accessed. Command keys are case sensitive ("A" is not the same as "a"). 컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴� 굇� DISTRIBUTION 檳굇굇굇굇굇굇굇굇굇굇굇굇굇굇굇굇굇굇굇굇굇굇굇굇굇굇굇굇굇굇 컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴� You are always welcome to send Internet E-Mail requesting program info, ask any questions you may have, or to request a UUEncoded copy of any supported program (that is what that specific account is for!), or: "FINGER mslasher@io.org" anytime via your internet accessible account to view up-to-date information about: � Program information concerning the latest released version .............. � � Directions to official distribution site(s) ............................. � � A list of other supported programs ...................................... � � Other miscellaenous information ......................................... � 컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴� 굇� LEGAL-ESE 檳굇굇굇굇굇굇굇굇굇굇굇굇굇굇굇굇굇굇굇굇굇굇굇굇굇굇굇굇굇굇굇� 컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴� USAGE OF THIS SOFTWARE INDICATES YOUR ACCEPTANCE OF THE SOFTWARE LICENSE TERMS 컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴� This software is the property of the authors, Robert Hunter / G.L., the registered copyright owners.
