│ MainMenu PCBoard 15.1 PPE Ultimate Main Menu! <Shareware> │
└────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
DoorMenu/FileMenu/MainMenu are FREE with every ConfJoin registration!
MainMenu is one of the most unique PCB "main menus"! It knows for each
user what commands are available and which commands aren't and it lets
the user know which are which. "Security specific menus" are no longer
necessary. This is a sample of what the menu looks like:
┌───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ 04-10-94 MainMenu v3.2 12:08 PM │
└───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
■ Means the Command is unavailable at your current security level

Registration replaces the UnRegistered in the header with the name of
your BBS, lets you add up to three additional commands to the menu for
PPE's etc... as well as allowing security specific "footers" (like the
1 shown below) to give specific security level users more information!
If you are a registered ConfJoin SysOp, use your ConfJoin registration
numbers in the MAINMENU.CNF file, it's a bonus from me to you!

│ You are at a new caller security level. You may use the VERIFY command to │

Installation of MainMenu is EASY! Copy your current "BRDM menu files"
to a safe place and remove all but the "main menu" (the specific file
as defined in PCBSetup. If this is BRDM then that's the only file that
should be there (except when using RIP, this isn't RIP compatible). In
the BRDM file there should be only 1 line, the line that calls the PPE
and it should look like this: !D:\PPE\PPP\MAINMENU.PPE But of course
the string must start in column one....
Now the config file, it must be called MAINMENU.CNF and it must be in
the same directory as the MAINMENU.PPE program. Here it is:
Intelec Online Your BBS Name
00000 Reg Number (when registered, 00000 if unreg'd)
00000 Validation Code " " "
D:\PPE\PPP\MENU Footer File (security specific files supported)
8 Highest number of random color tables in use
10 1st additional command security level
INTELEC 1st additional command
Apply To Net 1st additional command description
The registered version will let you add (3) additional commands to the
menu display. Use this for PPE program commands, etc. Repeat lines 5-7
for up to two more commands (lines 8-10 and 11-13). The security level
should match the sec level as defined in CMD.LST for proper displaying
and also... the command and description cannot be longer than 19 chars
total. If longer than 19 characters between the "2" fields the display
will be very mucked up. Mine: "INTELEC" & "Apply To Net" are 19 chars.
I know I mentioned this already but it is worth mentioning again, this
PPE (as is File_Dir) is FREE to all registered ConfJoin SysOps! These
PPE's all enhance your conference, files and door menu capabilities! I
will be working on a bulletin menu PPE and will also include that with
all ConfJoin registrations. So, check out ConfJoin, it's the ultimate
conference menuing system for PCBoard, nothing even comes close to it!
New in v3.3
Renamed to MainMenu, rename your PRO-MENU.* files to MAINMENU.*
New in v3.2
Now you can configure as many as 1000 color combination files that can
be randomly displayed to your users. So as much variety as you want to
configure gives your users a break from the same old menu. This is not
a color change each call, it's a color change each time the main menu's
displayed! Use the filename format MAINMENU.0 through MAINMENU.999, for
as many as 1000 different color schemes! I've included 9 samples, from
numbers 0 through 8. Always start with 0 as the extension, don't leave
any blanks in the file extension numbers and reflect the highest number
extension on line 5 of the config file. If you use MAINMENU.0 through
through MAINMENU.32 a 32 must go on line five. If you don't want to use
randomly changing color files, place a 0 on line 5 of the config file
and only use one color scheme file called MAINMENU.0 (naturally). <g>
