Program: GRAF-D v2.20 Copyright (C) 1993 Clark Development Co., Inc. Author: Steve Catmull Date: 09/10/93 Enhancement by: Don Shriver Date: 10/19/93 DESCRIPTION ======================================================================== PPE (PCBoard Programming Executable) that you can replace PCBTEXT record #149 with. What this PPE offers that PCBoard does not is to do some checking for graphics capability before asking the caller if they want graphics or not. The Enhancement allows you to operate GRAF-D in AUTO mode and still give Users the opportunity to override the Automatic Graphics Detection and manually select their Graphics mode, if they so choose. INSTALLATION ======================================================================== Installing this PPE is very simple. Use MKPCBTXT to load your PCBTEXT file. Press F3 and enter 149. You will now see the "Do you want graphics" record. Simply change it to an ! followed by GRAF-DE.PPE /DELAY:27 /AUTO. For example, if you have your GRAF-DE.PPE stored in your C:\PCB\PPE directory, your entry on PCBTEXT Record 149 would be !C:\PCB\PPE\GRAF-DE.PPE /DELAY:27 /AUTO The Delay of 1 and a half seconds, gives the user the time to interrupt the Automatic Graphics Detection. If the User does not interrupt, the Automatic Graphics Detection system will put the User in the proper Graphics Mode. If GRAF-DE.PPE does NOT detect either ANSI or RIP Graphics, the "Do you want Graphics" prompt will appear, just in case GRAF-DE.PPE was unable to detect ANSI or RIP on your system. In addition, make sure that you have not told PCBoard that you want to default to graphics at login. If you do, GRAF-DE will warn you that your system is improperly configured. =========================================================================
