- QUESTIONS & ANSWERS:
-
- Q: How do I change the border colors?
- A: The border colors are not in the config file. The border is part
- of EZSC.PCB. You can edit that file to whatever your heart desires.
- ───────────────────
- Q: If I add or delete conferences, do I have to do anything?
- A: NO!!! Starting with Version 1.09ß there are NO external files!
- Everything is internal, so changes are automatically detected and
- taken care of!
- ───────────────────
- Q: I upgraded from an earlier version and all I get is junk printed
- on the screen?
- A: The cfg file has changed, your still using the old one!!!
- ───────────────────
- Q: Some of my conferences aren't getting displayed on the screen!
- A: EZSC skips over the following conferences:
- 1) If the user doesn't have access to the conference
- 2) If it's a "blank conference" i.e. The conference name is blank
- 3) If the MSGS file defined in PCBSETUP does not exist.
- 4) If the user is expired and doesn't have expired access to the
- conference.
- ───────────────────
- Q: Why is the sky blue?
- A: How should I know? Go ask your Mommy!
-
- ────────
- FINAL THOUGHTS: If you don't know how to use the program, READ THE HELP!
-
- In the List Selected Mode, if you deselect a conference,
- it will remain on the screen until you do something to cause
- the page to be rewritten, (PgUp, PgDn, and Up arrow past the
- first conference on the screen, or down arrow past the last
- conference on the screen.
-
- My next addition will most likely be a way to group
- conferences into categories, so users can go to a specific
- area of your conference lists, without having to see all of
- them.
-
- This PPE has been tested in a multinode environment!
- It appears to pose NO problems, but the possibility
- does exist, so if you find one let me know ASAP!
- Starting with Version 2.5 it appears to be alot less
- disk intensive, so the lag for big bbs's on networks
- should be alot better!
-
- Sorry for the big delay on this version, had a little trouble
- with things. (My hard Drive dying being the biggest one!)
-
- Any comments or thoughts on making it better/easier will be
- very appreciated.
-
- I hope there isn't any typos in here! :)
-
- Greets to Joker and Darth Vader, Spider Baby, & Oger
- down in the south!
-
- Hey NoMo! Hows the Snow up there in the North?
-
- Special Big Thanks to Bill S. (Mono) for your help
- and thoughts in testing this thing.
-
- And a Big Thanks to David Stanton for your input!
