-
- Computer Profiles is a company dedicated to bringing you the finest software
- for PCBoard systems. We also do complete custom programming in C and
- PPLC at very reasonable costs. Call us today for a quote!
-
- This code was written for the sysops that carry more than one network
- and don't want thier users to have to scroll to the bottom of a 600+
- line file to find the network conferences they want to see.
-
- This file is NOT free and requires registration of $7.00.
- Please submit payment to the address at the end of this file.
- (Lets see if honesty really does pay, I have my doubts).
-
- (Release 1.01...Doubts fullfilled)
-
- You can relieve your self of this burdon by calling our bbs and registering
- a door AFTER 23 MAY 1993 and this will suffice as payment. So infact
- you can GET ONE FREE (This one) when you purchase another of our
- fine doors.....Cant beat that!
-
- Neither I nor my company (Computer Profiles) can or will be held liable
- for any damage (How could that happen?) that may arise out of your ability
- /inability to use this program. There is no voice support available
- however I will answer any questions regarding this ppe in the RIME
- network, My BBS, or you can leave me email at gary@random.wyvern.com
-
- Now that all that was said...
-
- I carry a couple of networks and each have a LOT of different conferences
- in them...The main problem was that for people to see the conferences at
- the bottom of the list, they would have to scroll through some 1200+
- conference names. Thus NJOIN steps in. Njoin will display ONE screen of
- NETWORKS to your users and let them select which lists they prefer to
- view instead of what was being forced upon them.
-
- Setting up:
-
- There are 2 different types of screens 1, the network screen and 2, the
- conference screens. The first one you will have to create, the latter
- you will only have to divide your present conference listing up.
-
-
- NETWORK SCREEN:
-
- You must create the NETWORKS screen first that your users will be
- presented with. The name MUST BE NWORKS. You can add the language suffix
- if you have more than one language. (See the NWORKS screen inside this
- zip). Next it should only be 22 lines long, NJOIN places the cursor at the
- bottom of the screen when asking for an input. Your networks will be
- numbered 1-?, again see the NWORKS file in this zip.
-
- CONFERCENCE SCREENS:
-
- The conference screens are the ones that are connected to one single
- network (Or however you want to list them), and list the conferences
- available screens. The file names of these are CONF + <number of the
- listing>, so if I had 3 different networks, they would be listed under
- CONF1 CONF2 and CONF3. When the user selects a conference by number,
- that number is appended to the word CONF and then that file is displayed
- to the user. Again you can attach the suffix to the file for language
- specific files (ie...CONF1.FRE CONF2.FRE )
-
- These files MUST reside in the PPE directory.
-
- So what you should have in your ppe directory when your finished are
- the following files:
-
- NJOIN.PPE
- NWORK
- CONF(?)
-
- PCBSETUP:
-
- Now go into PCBsetup to the CMD.LST section:
-
- < B: File Locations, B: Configuration Files, CMD.LST >
-
- Edit a line to include the following:
-
- Command Security PPE/MNU File -or- Keystroke Replacement
- ======= ======== ========================================
- J 0 H:\PCB\PPE\NJOIN.PPE
-
- The command your changing is "Join", Security level at whatever you want,
- and the path (FULL) to the NJOIN.PPE.
-
- Thats all there is to it!, Now go into pcboard and select J a conference,
- you should see the network screen pop up and then from there NJOIN will
- ask which NETWORK you wish to view, and then which conference within the
- network to join.
