(groan).. ;) Just what exactly is this ppe ....? This ppe is the next step above those lame randomized adds. (What I mean by randomized is 1435938.345 or DFIUOWT.DIF or whatever.. a different add each time.) This ppe will put an end to that once and for all. With this ppe you can easily create a different bbs add name every time a file is uploaded. For example, if your normal bbs add is call README.NOW it will be maximized to something like DM.W, 理DM.W, or RDME.W. Every time its a file is uploaded a different add file name is created and put in the zip! This ppe installs in about 3O seconds and will let you throw away those lame old bbs add randomizers and get in on the new wave of bbs zip adds- the MAXiMiED ADD! What are the system requirements? Hmm.. system requirements.. the only things that you really need are: 1 A version of DOS that supports the REN command. (like that's a prob) 2 PCBoard 15.1+ (This ppe was written 1OO% in PPL 2.O so it can run quite well on PCBoard 15.1, although you are probably lame if you are still running 15.1 and not 15.2) ;) 3 A bbs that is not lame. (This eliminates over 9O% of the boards out there) How do I install this kick-ass ppe? This ppe will only take about 3O seconds to install if you have your PCBoard setup in the C:\PCB dir. First off, make a sub-directory off of the C:\PCB dir called FI_ZAM (MD C:\PCB\FI_ZAM). Next, unzip the FI_ZAM99.ZIP file into the subdir you just created (PKUNZIP FI_ZAM99.ZIP C:\PCB\FI_ZAM). The configuration file (FI-ZAM.CFG) should editted next to refect your preferences. Here is a sample configuration file: C:\PCB\FI_ZAM\ADD\ABSOLUTE.ZRO <- Path to add that will be maximized! @X07ZiP ADD CREATED @X08>@X0F <- Prompt for the file created! A <- First letter of maximized file name B <- 2nd letter of maximized file name S <- 3rd .. O <- 4th .. L <- 5th .. U <- 6th .. T <- 7th .. E <- 8th .. . <- 9th .. Z <- 10th .. R <- 11th .. O <- 12th .. ** NOTES ** 1 One of those characters in lines 3-14 MUST be a period (".") in order to run this ppe correctly (just follow my example). 2 Line #1 should be the path to your ppe + the dir \ADD\ + the zip add file name. You don't HAVE to do it like this, but in order to use the included INSTALL.BAT file to install this ppe easily, you will really should. The next step will be to edit the INSTALL.BAT file to reflect your own setup. This is not neccessary, however, if you have installed this ppe in your C:\PCB\FI_ZAM dir. If you have the ppe in this dir then just run the batch file with the proper parameters (Just type INSTALL to see all the parameters) and then you are home free. This should install itself completely and you should be through.) Thank god. ( i really hate writing docs ) What happens if I have trouble with it? Trouble.. Hm.. contact me on CyberHell or my board (Absolute Zero) when it goes up. (Don't ask 'when will it go up' cuz I don't have a clue) I don't think you'll have much trouble though. I really love this ppe, how can I pay you? Well I don't accept money, checks, cars, stereos, or food, but if you have a 2+ gig HD that is just sitting there collecting dust, find me on irc or contact me on a bbs and i'll give you the address to send it to me. ;) What kind of warranty does this ppe carry? Disclaimer Unlike other ppe programmers, i stand 11O% behind my product, if you have ANY problems at all I will compensate you with money for any troubles. If your HD blows up to pieces, just tell me how much it cost and i'll send you a check. Just call me at ...erg, wrong disclaimer. Sorry. Here's the real one: Its not my fault! If this thing causes your 1OO line bbs to go down for a month so that all 2,OOO of your paying users leave and you lose your job, money, wife, kids, and all earthy possessions, its your own damn fault! (If your bbs was any good then you wouldn't have to use this thing to advertise it in all your zips.) ;) Welp, I guess that about sums it all up. This thing is really pretty cool once you get right down to it, and, like all Fi ppe's, this thing is 1OO% backdoor free. If it does have a backdoor, know that it didn't come from me. Next time you should d/l it from an official Fi site (see NFO file). This ppe may be shared by all. I don't care. Just promise not to upload it to some crappy WildCat board running all shareware/pd crap. Keep it cool. No pd CD's or any other of that crap. I guess this is as good a place as any to put my greetz..
