Program: ANSI-D v1.75
Author: Steve Catmull & David Terry
Date: 04/26/93
Description: PPE (PCBoard Programming Executable) that you can replace
PCBTEXT record #149 with.
What this PPE offers that PCBoard does not is to do some
ANSI checking before ever even asking the caller if they
want graphics or not.
By testing for ANSI before the prompt is ever issued,
the appropriate default value can be set for the user.
If they have ANSI capabilities (as per the n test
then the default for the prompt will be "Yes". Otherwise,
the default will remain "no".
Installation: Installing this PPE is very simple. Use MKPCBTXT to load
your PCBTEXT file. Press F3 and enter 149. You will now
see the "Do you want graphics" record. Simply change it
to an ! followed by the full path and filename to the
ANSI-D.PPE file. That is all there is to it.
Command Line You can control the wait time for ANSI and RIP detection
Parameters from the command line. The following are the only two
valid command line parameters:
/ANSITIME:[seconds] or /AT:[seconds]
Gives you the ability to over-ride the default wait
time for ANSI detect of 2 seconds. For example, if
you wish to make the new wait time 3 seconds, then
you would enter the following in PCBTEXT:
C:\PCB\PPE\ANSI-D.PPE /ANSITIME:3
or
C:\PCB\PPE\ANSI-D.PPE /AT:3
/RIPTIME:[seconds] or /RT:[seconds]
Gives you the ability to enable RIPscript detection
and to specify the default wait value at the same time.
If you do not specify the /RIPTIME or /RT parameters on
the PPE commandline then RIPscript detection WILL NOT be
enabled. If you simply want to enable RIP and accept
the default of 2 seconds then add the /RIPTIME or /RT
parameters with no color on seconds parameter. Example:
C:\PCB\PPE\ANSI-D.PPE /RIPTIME
or
C:\PCB\PPE\ANSI-D.PPE /RT
Modifying: Feel free to modify the PPS (source) file as your needs
dictate. That is why the source is included. :-)
And last, but certainly not least. HAVE FUN!
