Deluxe Conference Menu / Maker (DCM)
*** FOR PCBOARD v15.1 AND HIGHER PPL LANGUAGE ONLY ***
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1st - You must be running PCBoard v15.1 or higher AND run the .EXE from a
386 or better computer.... The more memory available, the better!
Deluxe Conference Menu/Maker is a little utility that I wrote to make my life
a lot easier. It's simple to use, and easy to install. I can't really put
too many restrictions on this as far as not registering it, but I can say
this. I try and make any utilities available to you that I write to make
life easier. If you wish to have me keep this up, I request that you send
in the nominal registration fee. $15.00 is nominal for a working piece
of software. This software is written with CDC's development kit for ease
of operation and PCBoard interface.
The only unregistered restriction you will see is the Unregistered Evaluation
copy message at the top of the PPE screens.
DCM has support for Unlimited Networks, and 65,535 conferences per network.
DCM is a very flexible program. Meaning I can customize it very easily.
suggestions are welcome on my BBS in the Support Conference.
It is important that I say: Suggestions are put on our wish list, and
applied as needed - by order of importance, and the number of times
suggested.

";" in the first column deliminates a comment line and it will be ignored.
"NOCLEAR" will suppress screen clears.
"SORT" will cause the conferences to be sorted by network.
"UPPERCASE" will convert all output of conference names to be in Upper Case.
"NUMBERCOLOR=@Xbf" This tells DCM what color to use for the output of the
conference number. b = background, f = foreground.
"FLAGFILLER=@Xbf" This is the filler to use for the spaces in the flags
when a flag is not present.
"FLAGCOLOR=@Xbf" The color of the flags for each conference.
"BRACECOLOR=@Xbf" The color for the " [ ] " braces around numbers.
"BLANKCOLOR=@Xbf" The color for blank spaces.
"NAMECOLOR=@Xbf" The color for network names and conference names.
"TEXTCOLOR=@Xbf" The color for any other misc. text, like the net name at the
top of the conference listing screens.
"BORDERLEFTCOLOR=@Xbf" The color to use for the left side of the border.
"BORDERRIGHTCOLOR=@Xbf" The color to use for the right side of the border.
"HEADERCOLOR=@Xbf" The color to use for the headers on the net screen.
"NETWORKPROMPT=........." The prompt, minus the "?" for the network screen.
"CONFERENCEPROMPT=........." The prompt, minus the "?" for the conference
screen.
"ALLNETS=" The header to be put on the top of the screen when a user
is viewing ALL the networks at once (the (A)ll command from the
network prompt.)
"NET=" statement (below).
"NETx=" This specifies the name of the network.
IE: "NET1=" would mean this is the first network name to be
outputted, and so on..
"Cx=nnn" This means your specifing a conference number for a given network.
"x" means which network number. "nnn" is the conference number on
your BBS. DCM will retrieve the name from your CNAMES. file.
Make sure you are specifying a good conference number, or DCM will
abort operation. You can specify ONE (1) conference per "Cx="
declaration. OR you can specify a range (1 per "Cx=" declaration.)
Ranges are specified with a "-" seperating the low and high number.
IE: "C1=201-352".
Now, run the EXE file to create the output files. Then install the PPE
in your CMD.LST file and copy the output files to the same place as the
actual PPE. Remember, RAM DRIVES ARE FASTER!
Outputted Files Explanation:
CONFSxxx.DCM - Where the xxx is replaced by a number, it is the actual
display file for the individual network.
Where the xxx is replaced by ALL, it is the display file
used for the (A)ll command under the network screen to
display a complete inter-network mixed conference listing.
Where xxx is replaced by TXT, it is the formatted file
ready for printing on a printer. Formatted to 60 lines
per page, with form feeds and page breaks.
DCM.CFG - The configuration file needed to run DCM.
