Virginizer ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ Well, this took me way too long to do. It started as a simple idea that I had after looking through .PPS files. This is my first attempt at a PPE. Not bad for the first one, eh? Well, here's the docs. If you don't already know how to install a PPE, you probably should go grab some lame PPE by some PD author who can explain it. This file is for experienced PCBoard Sysops Only. Here goes: Description and Instructions: Follow the directions below to install. First, you need to copy all the 187PAGE files into your PPE directory. Also, make sure to copy the PRECHAT.PCB file in the same dir. All of these files MUST be in the same directory for the PPE to work. Add the command to your CMD.LST file in PCBSetup. You should know how to do this by now. When a user uses the page command that you have specified, he/she will get a bar graph screen as the sysop is paged. To break into chat with the users paging, hit the space bar. Simple, and much better looking than the default page PPE. Next, Edit the following files to suit your BBS. PRECHAT.PCB - This is the file that is displayed when the Sysop hits the space bar, before the user is pulled into chat. This file must be an ANSI file, of any length, saved in PCBoard @-Code Colors. I have included a simple default file. You may or may not use this file. If you do not wish to, either leave the file blank or change the option in the 187PAGE.CFG (see below). 187PAGE.PCB - This is the main display over the bar graph as the user is paging. Sorry, the bar graph is not configurable, mainly because I like it. The 187PAGE.PCB file can be an ANSI file, saved in PCBoard @-Codes, up to 15 lines. You may use a longer file, but I can not guarantee the look of it. Next, you want to edit the 187PAGE.CFG file to suit your needs. Here are the definitions of the different lines in the file. Line 1: Registration Code. I did this for a reason. I don't want your money or your support on this PPE. It's really not worth it. I made it unregistered to get back at all the idiots out there who write PPE's and expect you to send some money to use them. I will probably end up releasing the registered version in a few weeks or so, but right now you have to live with it.... Unless, you know me. You can leave me mail on Mirage and I will happily give you the code. Otherwise, get out your favorite hex-editor and edit the file to register it. I'm not responsible for erased hard drives as a result of this practice. Registering the PPE will simply remove the notice from the beginning and end of the PPE. If you do not have the registration code, leave the first line 00000 or any other of your favorite numbers. The number will not show up anywhere on the PPE. Line 2: PC Speaker Sound Effect. I added a few sound effects to make the PPE somewhat interesting and useful. I might put out another release with more sounds, but for now, there are 9 to choose from. Choose your favorite sound and leave the # on this line. Line 3: Bar Graph Color. Configurable to match your BBS. The default I have left is white (@X0F). If you don't know your PCBoard colors, you shouldn't be reading this now. Line 4: Use PRECHAT.PCB? PRECHAT.PCB is a small intro file I have included. When the sysop breaks into chat with the spacebar, this file is displayed. Use 'N' if you do not wish to use this file. Well, that's it. Simple. Look for more 187 PPE's coming soon. Make sure to pick up the 187 File Directory Utility by Krazi Karma (187DIR10.ZIP). If you need support for the PPE, you can call me at The Promised Land (find the number), leave me a message on Mirage, or on another quality board across the US. 187 Couriers kicking ass in the '94. See ya next time... -d. Virginizer [RAZOR/187]
