BBS Registration: $15 US funds ONLY! Registration removes all the nasty unregistered messages and delays. The registration number will work for ALL future releases of The PCB Bulletin Executive. PCBBE is not free software. PCBBE should be registered no later than 30 days after installation. Refer to the enclosed file REGISTER.DOC for complete registration instructions. From the Command Line: PCBBE will accept bulletin numbers from the command line just like PCB does. if a user wants to skip the menu they can. i.e. "B 1 2 3" will display the appropriate bulletins. Installation: *********** THE IMPORTANT PART *************** 1) Just add this PPE file name and path to your CMD.LST file so PCBoard will run this PPE instead of the internal Bulletin command. This is an Example of what it might look like: 2) B 0 C:\PCB\PCBBE.PPE 2) Edit the PCBBE.COL file ********** MUST BE IN SAME DIRECTORY AS PCBBE.PPE *************** This is the Color control File. 6 lines. Each line control's the color of a field. Line 1 ---> Border Line 2 ---> Secondary Border Text Line 3 ---> Bulletin Number Line 4 ---> Main Headings Line 5 ---> Date Last Updated Line 6 ---> Bulletin Description Each line should contain 1 PCB Code. The PCBBE.COL file included in this archive is fully commented for easy installation. You can leave the comments in for easy changes! 3) Edit the PCBBE.CFG file. ********** MUST BE IN SAME DIRECTORY AS PCBBE.PPE *************** The layout of this file is VERY important. If you don't set this file up correctly to start you'll have big problems with PCBBE! There is an example config file in the archive, just edit that file and replace the appropriate fields. Each line of this file represents a Bulletin on your system. So if you have 10 Bulletins you should have 1 line for each bulletin in your config file. LINE 1 - The path to *ALL* your BLT files. Trailing '\' required. LINES 2-?? - Description of each bulletin on your system. 1 line for each bulletin you have. Description can be up to 55 characters long! 4) If you are a registered user and would like to use a custom header PCBBE now supports this. Just create a file called PCBBE.HDR in the same directory as PCBBE.PPE. Included in the release archive is an example header file called HDR.DAT. PCBBE.PPE by default does *NOT* use a custom header. 5) THAT'S IT! 4 Easy steps! Trouble Shooting : Q) I only have 10 Bulletins but 11 Bulletins show up on the menu. The last Bulletin displayed is blank. A) Be sure the last character on the last line of the PCBBE.CFG file is . 旼컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴� � 旼컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴커� � � Q) The first page of the menu comes out great, but then 납 � � all hell breaks loose with the display! 납 � � A) This is a local ONLY problem.
