- Chat was written by Ed Wrotniewski, AKA Bishop, of the Rook's Manor BBS.
- (609)228-9466
-
- Chat is free, and no registration will be asked for it's use, unlike
- some other chat programs which require you to pay $15 to remove the
- delay.

-
- Installation.
-
- Put all of the files in this archive into your \pcb directory.
- (You MUST have all of the files in your \PCB directoey, or the
- program will not work.)
- Go into PCBsetup, and configure one of your F-keys, usually f10
- to be:
- !c:\pcb\chat.ppe
-
- Then, go into the system files section, and add a command to your CMD.LST
- file:
-
- Key Security Command
- O <your choice> c:\pcb\page.ppe
-
-
-
- There, you're set! To activate the chat, press shift F10, and up it goes.
- ESC will end the chat session.
-
- You may also configure the screens shown when the user tries to chat. there
- are two:
- page.scr - The screen shown when it is during paging hours
- aftrhour.scr - The screen shown after paging hours.
-
- These are normal ANSI screens, and may be replaced.
-
- CHAT.PPE may be configured to your needs. Just go into any text editor
- and edit the CHAT.CFG file. The layout is as follows:
-
- line1: The color code for the color of the sysop's text. (01-0F) *
- line2: The color code for the color of the user's text. (01-oF) *
- line3: The name of the BBS. It will be displayed in the center of the
- division bar.
- line4: The emergency chat password. It is used to activate a chat after
- the normal paging hours have expired.
- line5: The frequency of the page tone. (1 - 65535) Anything from 500 - 800
- is a good value. This will be increased by 300 for emergency chats.
- line6: The time the BBS stops taking chat requests in military time.
- Ex. if the BBS's chat went down at 1:30am, this would be:
- 01:30:00 **
- line7: The time the BBS begins taking chat requests. Same format as above.
-
- * These color codes are the last 2 numbers of the @X?? color codes
- ** Midnight is 00:00:00
