Version 1.00 2/9/93
Fixed a problem with system\static file. It was not possible to save a
uu.driver definition if one did not already exist in static. Now fixed.
--------------Version 0.90 (First Release)-----------------------------
uuSETUP will create and/or edit your UUPCB.INI and STATIC files. Online
help is available for each uuPCB variable by pressing F1 at the
appropriate field.
Additionally, uuSETUP will create the directories specified in uuSETUP.
If you wish to edit a UUPCB.INI file, it must be in the current
directory. STATIC files edited by uuSETUP are controlled by the WAFFLE
environmental variable. If no variable is set, uuSETUP will write the
static file in the current directory.
Certain entries (notably the SPOOL entry) must match in both files.
uuSetup will insure that happens.
To start uuSETUP, type "uuSETUP" at the dos prompt. uuSETUP will read
the UUPCB.INI file, if present and the STATIC file, if present.
Any mandatory entries that are not completed in the files will be have a
default entry entered on the UUSETUP screen. Optional entries, if not
completed in the UUCPB.INI file or STATIC file will be left blank.
NAVIGATING uuSETUP.
The following keys are used to navigate through the input screen and make
selections:
<F1 Key> Activate HELP for the highlighted entry.
<F2 Key> Save UUPCB.INI and STATIC files.
<F3 Key> Pull up the USENET message headers selection box.
(See USENET message headers below)
<ESC> Escape terminates uuSETUP without saving any changes.
<PgUp> Move to the first field on the screen.
<PgDn> Move to the last field on the screen.
<Up Arrow> Move up one field.
<Down Arrow> Move down one field.
<Left Arrow> Moves to the left one character.
<Right Arrow> Move to the right one character.
<Home> Move to the beginning of the field.
<End> Move to the end of the field.
<Insert> Toggle between insert and overstrike modes.
<Del> Delete the character under the cursor. The characters
to the right of the cursor are shifted left one
position, provided that the input mask character
matches the mask character of the deleted character.
As soon as the routine finds a mask character that
does not match, no further shifting is performed.
<Backspace> Delete the character to the left of the cursor. The
characters from the cursor position to the end of the
input string are shifted left according to the same
rules as the Del key.
<Ctrl-Right> Move right one word.
<Ctrl-Left> Move left one word.
<Ctrl-End> Delete all characters from the cursor position to the
end of the field, except where there is a constant
character.
<Enter> or <Tab> Move to the next field.
<Shft-Tab> Move back one field.
If you are using a mouse, clicking the left button on a field moves you
to that position in the field.
USENET message headers.
Press F3 to bring up the USENET message headers selection box. This is a
"Tag Box". It lists the various headers from USENET messages.
Tag the headers you wish to have displayed in your uuPCB messages by
pressing the spacebar or clicking the left mouse button.
The following keys are available while the tagbox is active:
<Home> Move to the first USENET message header in the list.
<End> Move to the last USENET message header in the list.
<PgUp> If the highlight bar is not currently at the
top of the box, it is moved to the top.
<PgDn> If the highlight bar is not currently at the
bottom of the box, it is moved to the bottom.
<Up Arrow> Move the highlight bar up one USENET message header.
<Dn Arrow> Move the highlight bar down one USENET message header.
<SpaceBar> Tag or select the currently highlighted USENET message
header. Pressing the spacebar a second time untags the
highlighted USENET message header.
<RETURN> Exits the Tagbox.
The following headers are the defaults:
"Subject:"
"From:"
"To:"
"Date:"
"Organization:"
"Newsgroups:"
The following items are available, but not part of the defaults.
"Xref:"
"References:"
"Lines:"
"Path:"
"Followup-To:"
"Reply-To:"
"Sender:"
"Message-ID:"
"Keywords:"
New uuPCB Features
New features may require additional entries in UUPCB.INI. While UUSETUP
will be updated on a regular basis to handle these new features, it may
be necessary, on occasion, to manually edit UUPCB.INI to add entries for
features not yet supported by uuSETUP. For this reason, the UUPCB.INI
file format has not been changed. You can intermix manual editing of
UUPCB.INI with your favorite editor and use of uuSETUP as you see fit.
Unsupported variables present in UUPCB.INI files will be passed on
unaltered if they are encountered by uuSETUP.
We will try to minimize such situations as much as possible.
