- Application Center v1.0 by ViGilante [PWA] on 7/1/94
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- Here's a little PPE I banged out in about an hour to have people apply for
- various things, ie. couriers, dist sites, networks, whatever. Will work from
- a matrix (ProMatrix comes to mind <g>) or as a cmd.lst entry. See the docs
- to your matrix for instructions on how to set it up. If you want it in your
- cmd.lst and need instructions then you don't need this PPE.
-
- The way I have it installed is in my CMD.LST as a replacement for the (S)cript
- command. Works out quite nicely.
-
-
- Configuration
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- Look at the APPCENTR.CNF for explanations of each line in the config.
-
- The apps must be named APP.x, where x is the number of the app. These apps
- are STANDARD forum-type infoforms, where you use animation mode in TheDraw
- to place *'s where you want to get input. No need for aggravating x-y
- coordinate mapping.
-
- You can also run a PPE as one of the choices by putting the complete path
- and filename as the first line of the APP.X file, preceded by a '!' just as
- in PCBTEXT.
-
- When creating your own APP.x file, you will do well to 1) NOT put anything in
- the 80th column, 2) NOT put anything below the 21st line (so you can read it
- as a single screenful in a message), and 3) DON'T try to save it using PCB @
- codes. You need to use animation, ergo people who use this PPE *must* have
- ANSI capabilities.
-
- For those who are having problems creating these STANDARD infoforms, follow
- these directions:
- 1: Load up TheDraw.
- 2: Create your screen, following the guidelines previously set forth.
- 3: At this point, animation mode should be OFF and there should be NO *'s
- anywhere on the screen.
- 4: When you are done, turn animation ON by hitting ALT-J, then T.
- 5: Now, place *'s at the points on the screen where you want to get input,
- in the order you want the questions to be asked. Whatever color the
- *'s are, is what color the input will be in.
- 6: When you are done, hit ALT-S, A, C, 77, 0, and give it a filename. It's
- as easy as that.
-
-
- The APPCENTR.PCB file can be whatever you want, just note where you want the
- HILIGHTED bars to appear so you can properly edit the APPCENTR.CNF file.
-
- The first question on each form should be the applicants handle/name, as this
- is what I used to address the message's FROM: field.
-
- Note that the last lightbar will ALWAYS be the one to QUIT. So if you only
- want 1 application, remember that in reality you are configuring for 2
- choices. The contents of the "who to send this app to" field of the "quit"
- lightbar is (i hope obviously) inconsequential, albeit necessary for proper
- operation.
-
-
- Registration
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~
- This PPE is totally free, no registration required.
- Donations are certainly accepted if you feel so compelled, and I won't even
- mention the many hours of programming/debugging/testing/whatever spent on
- this thing. :) Cash, old hardware, or even a good leech account on your
- board is always appreciated.
