Simply place the following files into any directory:
!.PPE
STACK.PPE
STCKTEXT
Locate your PCBoard's HLP! file and rename it to HLP!.OLD, then copy the HLP!
file that comes in the archive to PCBoard's HELP subdirectory.
Run MKPCBTXT and replace entry 396 with the drive and path to STACK.PPE:
!%PCBDRIVE%\PCB\PPE\STACK.PPE (or whatever your path is)
There! You're done. You may next wish to edit the prompt file to match your
BBS's style.
NOTE: If you logon a lot locally on the same node, and that node isn't often
used by other people, you may wish to add the following line to your
$$LOGOFF.BAT
DEL [drive]:[path] KEY###.DBF
^
|
\-- where ### equals the node number
The KEY###.DBF files contain records of the keystrokes from the online session.
Although STACK.PPE cleans up after itself when online users logoff, it will not
do so locally if the same user keeps using the same node locally.
=========================
THE STCKTEXT PROMPT FILE:
=========================
This is provided in case you wish to create your own PROMPT file, or translate
one into a different language. Do not add or subtract lines. STACK and ! expect
ATX coding in this file, but can cope with (at least in theory) anything as
long as it doesn't exceed 255 characters per line, with no null characters.
LINE 1: PCBoard command line prompt
LINE 2: Top of command history menu line
LINE 3: Line used for command history list
LINE 4: Bottom of command history menu line
LINE 5: Color of lightbar
LINE 6: Color without lightbar (should be same as colors in line 3)
LINE 7: First line of !.PPE editor instructions
LINE 8: Second line of !.PPE editor instructions
LINE 9: Third line of !.PPE editor instructions
Note 1: Line 1 is used exclusively in STACK.PPE. Lines 2-9 are used in !.PPE.
Note 2: The OPTEXT variable in line 3 must always remain where it is (third
character) in order for !.PPE to work properly.
Note 3: No attempt has been made to integrate RIP 1.54 or 2.0 into these PPEs
due to fluctuations in the RIP `standard'. Also, the principle behind STACK.PPE
and !.PPE are not consistant with a RIP interface.
