- "WOW! READ the DOCS? ...what a radical concept!"
-
- --[Installation]-------------------------------------------------------------
-
- Lets keep it simple:
-
- 1/ run install.bat
- 2/ install the pager in the CMD.LST under the O command. If you don't know
- how, read a doc of another ppe, coz i'm tired of always writing this
- basic shit.
- 3/ edit the .CFG for the emergency password etc...
- take a look at the .SNG file to add more songs:)
-
- voila...
-
- WARNING! Always test each song you install in the .SNG file to make sure
- your system doesn't hang.
-
- --[COD-A-JOKE]--------------------------------------------------------------
-
- I was bothered by the tought of not being able to show a progress bar to the
- user while paging the sysop. You can't do thgat because the ppe is then
- shelled to the module player and i can't do anything till the shell ends. I
- could make the players TSR's(!) but then the computer is likely to trash
- 'nd crash... But i suddenly got a 'vision' :) ; why not displaying a joke
- that the user can read while he's paging the sysdude(tte).
-
- If ever you want to add jokes, add them exactly as the other jokes, and
- make sure [END] is at the end of the file, and the number on line 1 is
- updated(it contains the number of jokes in the file).
- The joke data file is language aware.
-
- (!) TSR = (T)rash (S)ystem (R)andomly

- --[Info on the MUSiC BiT]---------------------------------------------------
-
- Well, i geuss not many of you people are interested in this part, but i'm
- writing it anyway. This is the first PPE i coded that works with an .EXE.
- I had to code that .EXE using a GERMAN pascal, and a GERMAN helpfile. Con-
- sidering i'm a belgian and i speak DUTCH, AND i had never coded before
- in any other language then PPL i think the result is quite good;) Thanks
- to JMJ for helping me out sometimes. (i got the idea for coding this shit
- after seeing his 'Combadge Pager', which is one the few bbs add-ons
- that were still better on ProBoard then on Pcboard... till now;)
-
- About the players:
-
- It plays HSC flawlessly:), and MOD files with 15 or 31 instruments and 4, 6
- or 8 channels, but each sample should be smaller than 62 Ko. It recognizes
- almost all effects except: E3,E4,E5,E8,E7 and EF. On the other hand, it uses
- 8 octaves like MOD files tracked with Scream Tracker 3.
- If the player can't play a certain song, you can be sure its too 'heavy' for
- the player;) Be sure to have your sound card settings in your autoexec.bat.
- Example for my SB:
-
- SET BLASTER=A 220 I7 D1 T3
-
- It doesn't work on XT and 286 based PCs. It supports the following sound
- devices:
-
- - the internal speaker (rather good sound)
- - a DAC (digital to analog convertor) on a parallel port
- - a adlib sound board
- - a Sound Blaster (SB, SB pro and SB16) in mono or stereo but only 8 bits
- - a Gravis UltraSound card
-
- Voila. I do not garantee that the .EXE will work on your system.
-
- While i was coding this pager, THE CHAOT from LUXEMBURG made some other
- players for the pager: a S3M, VOC, and CD player. So many thanks to him!
- CH_S3M12.EXE Autodetects the SB (only SB will work).
- The 'MUTE' feature is turned on and off with the '-' and '+'
- The S3M and VOC player are in the zip: VOC&S3M.ZIP. Test them before
- installing some S3M/VOCs in the .SNG file!
- Look in COD-RP10.SNG for more info on how to install a Audio-CD song.
