We all hated them, but missed them after most sysops have recently swithced to PCBoard (including myself). I think it is decent for my first finished PPE. The best part about it is there is no maintenance required and no config files to worry about setting up for your particular system. It works great with PCBoard version 15.1, but since it doesn't use any advanced codes that I am aware of, it should work with version 15.0, even though you oughtta upgrade. The internal AUTHOR command to view who wrote the rumors should be kept to yourself, as it is not necessary to be a sysop to know this command and you may not wish everyone to view the author (which can actually be edited through the RUMORS.DAT file. Features: å No additional PPE to add a rumor. The internal command is RUMOR å Internal CR handling. Will not give the Excessive Main Command Errors prompt and hang you up. I added this so that when the user can't stop looking at all the rumors, by pressing enter, they wont get disconnected without an internal warning after 30 consecutive enters. å Easy installation - no maintenance required (or available) å Full documentation and support å With the internal AUTHOR command, you can see who posted the rumor This is new to version 1.1 å A user can not add a rumor less than 10 characters There is one known bug that I dont know how to fix. According to Epic Faith of The Well of Souls, he gets a sharing violation with his multi-node system I am hoping it is just his set-up and that it will work fine on other multi- node systems. If you have any problems, please report them to me ASAP. Be aware that if you remove or add a rumor directly by editing the RUMORS.TXT file, you will NEED to change the info in the RUMORS.DAT file. /-> How Do I Install It <-\ Installation is very simple. You just load up your MKPCBTXT.EXE file and use the F3 key to got to record #396. There you will put the following line: !D:\PCB\PPE\RUMORS\RUMORS.PPE ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Change the drive/path to where you unzipped the program to. Wasn't that easy? And that is ALL you have to worry about, so just enjoy it! Feel free to edit the ansi that is displayed when adding a rumor. The only limitations are that the user will type their rumor at coordinates 2,10 (x,y) and at the top line, the FLiGHT*Rumors version and author will be displayed, and on line 15, it will display the unregistered line or BBS name for registered sysops), and the successful save message at 17,15 Save it so that it wont clear the screen (FLiGHT Rumors will do that for you) /-> Updates/New Revisions <-\ New releases are always becoming available with FLiGHT programs. Here is a list of the latest revisions: Ver 1.0 - First version, never release do to many new ideas to add later BUG- Sharing violation occured on multinode systems Unfortunately, I dont think I have actually fixed this yet. But try it out anyways if you run multinode. It may work Ver 1.1 - Incorporated most of those ideas and wrote documentation. This is the first release and from now on, newer versions will have a full list of NEW features Ver 1.2 - Included the RUMORS.DAT file required for the AUTHOR command to work properly. Sorry for forgetting about it last time! Updates can usually be unzipped overwriting previous files. /-> Support <-\ If you are having trouble or just would like to get in touch with the author call the World HeadQuarters and I will help you with any problems you encounter /-> Registering <-\ FLiGHT*Rumors has no protection and is barely crippled. The maximum number of rumors that may be in the RUMORS.TXT file that will be read is the first 25. For a measily $5, you will receive a new copy sent to you by mail or modem registered to you with your board name and there will be no maximum. You will also receive all updates and later versions immediately at no extra charge. You wont even have to pay another $5! You may send a check or money order to: Jeff Douglass P.O. Box 915142 Longwood, FL 32779 Cash is accepted but not recommended (you know how the mail works) /-> Future Versions <-\ You will continue seeing newer FLiGHT*Rumors versions. I have already decided that in my next version, the prompts/commands/coordinates for input/and even more configurability will be available. Registered sysops will continue receiving their updates sent directly to them. /-> Future FLiGHT Releases <-\ Future FLiGHT releases are: A last callers list \ Do you need a particular PPE? Oneliners \ Contact me by mail or modem and give me full Matrix / details of what you want, and I will do my Message Footer / best to fulfill your request as another release Etcetera... / by FLiGHT. /-> Thanks <-\ Thanks to Epic Faith for testing the program out and notifying me of the sharing violation that I still haven't fixed :( Thanks to SKoRPiON for distributing this program around the U.S. Thanks to Prototipe for the FLiGHT ansi at the top of this doc Thanks to the oneliners PPE by Nomad of UART for the ansi that I 'borrowed' Thanks to The Saint of TiC for his rumors PPE that gave me the inspiration to make my own, and allow the user to add his/her own rumor (his didnt) Thanks to TRSi for the PRESENTS ansi below FLiGHT at the top of the doc Thanks to Al Bundy of CIA for the doc format here.
