- Ok. We wrote this cause everytime we opened a chat [PPE] made by someone
- else, claiming to be better than the other guys, they always failed! One
- would have garble from the modem regarded as actual entered data, another
- would cure this but would be *real* plain looking with a little pin strip
- separating remote from sysop chat. Some even made you think it was about
- to write to the line underneath for pete's sake. More over, one guy who
- don't know, didn't know what the CHR() was for the ESC key so ya had to
- hit the ALT-Q to get out.
-
- We didn't take long to write this [PPE] but was a little tricky at some
- points and the source is only 352 lines therefore this [PPE] is FREE!!!
- I dislike some of the authors who quickly write some short [PPE] and want
- to make millions on it! If they don't they put some damned DELAY in the
- compiled code and some UNREGISTERED's all over to bore ya to death;)
-
- What you have here is a [PPE] designed by the PPLC v2.0 made by Clarke
- Development Company for PCBoard. CHATTERBOX is a *split* screen chat that
- directly replaces the builtin CHAT in PCBoard. Because CHATTERBOX was
- compiled with version 2.0 of the PPLC, I would advise that it be run on
- PCBoard v15.1ß or better. Anyone that owns 15.0 can d/l the 15.1ß direct
- from SALT-AIR BBS @801-261-8976.

- Installation
-
- You can put CHATTER.PPE in two places...
-
- RECORD #333 of PCBTEXT: (Recommended)
-
- Execute MKPCBTXT.EXE from your \PCB\GEN directory or wherever you decided
- to put your PCBTEXT file. (This is the file that translates output).
- Press F3 and enter 333. This will bring you to record #333. You will see
- Hello, this is @OPTEXT@.~~ and underneath will be the line that you enter
-
- !C:\PCB\CHAT\CHATTER.PPE
-
- Of course your's may differ, just enter the complete path and name of the
- [PPE]. Note the ! as the first charachter. This tells PCBoard that it is
- executing a [PPE]. That's it! Now when you press the spacebar to answer
- a page or press F10, CHATTERBOX will come up.
-
- FUNCTION KEYS
-
- Execute PCBSETUP from each node's main directory ie, \PCB and goto:
- G - Configuration Options than H - Function Keys.
- Pick an available spot and put
-
- !C:\PCB\CHAT\CHATTER.PPE
-
- If you put it under function key #10, the next time you want to activate a
- Chat you can hit SHIFT + F10 and you enter CHATTERBOX directly.
-
- I believe that about raps it up for now. We plan to add an online user
- editor and a whole bunch of nice things to CHATTERBOX, but first wanted to
- get this version out there.
