I. Introduction & Disclaimer
Put some variety into your menus! This PPE will allow you to randomly
display an unlimited number of menus. Additionally, you can specify
different menu sets for different users, all depending on their security
level! For example, I use three different menu sets for the main menu:
User security Type of user Menu Set Number of menus
------------- ------------ -------- ---------------
10 New User 1 1
20 thru 99 Validated 2 6
100 thru 110 Sysop/Cosysop 3 1
So if I wanted to, I could add more menus to any of the menu sets (hereby
now termed as "groups") if I wanted to!
II. Installation
Step 1.
Make a directory for the matrix. For example:
mkdir c:\pcb\djp\menu
I suggest making a subdirectory called djp since I will be releasing
numerous other PPE's in the future and it's just nice to be organized. :-)
Step 2.
Unzip everything into that directory
pkunzip dj-mr10 c:\pcb\djp\menu
Step 3.
Add this to whatever menu or whatever file you usually display in
pcbsetup. For example, for the main menu, simply edit both the
"BRDM" and "BRDS" files (the default names for your user menu and
for the sysop menu). In the file themselves, simply put:
!c:\pcb\djp\menu\menu.ppe
Or whereever you decided to put this ppe. Instead of modifying the
file, you can just put the full-path name instead of the file itself.
Basically, however you want to do it.
Step 4.
Modify all the *.cfg files to your liking. See below for a description
of each .cfg file and see inside the .cfg itself for more details.
III. Description of Files
allgroup.cfg
This is the main configuration file for this ppe. It specifies
the number of groups you want to have, and the levels corresponding
to each group.
group#.cfg <-- # is the number of the group
For each group, you will have a group#.cfg file. So for group number
one, you will have "group1.cfg". These files specify the number of
menus for the group, which menu to use (or pick one randomly), and
all the file names of the possible menus.
mainmenu.doc
You're reading it now.
mainmenu.ppe
Duh.
file_id.diz
Double duh duh.
IV. Future features
None planned.
V. Known bugs
As of 5-2-94
1. None. The code is perfect. :-)
VI. Last words
This is my third official ppe. Again, it's a fairly small PPE compared
to my first one (DJP Matrix). If you have suggestions, comments, gripes, or
whatever, you can reach me at my board:
The Silicon Phalanx
510-795-0200/0400, 2 nodes
9600-14400
Other DJP ppe's:
----------------
DJ-MAT02.ZIP (version 0.2)
DJP Matrix. The superior litebar matrix to use. Random matrix
screens, random logon screens, random welcome screens.
DJ-USR10.zip (version 1.0)
DJP User Lister. The most configurable user lister around. Specify
just about any of the vital statistics about a user (name, note,
last called, areacode, # ul's, # dl's, etc.), pick the display color,
and also choose the positioning.
DJ-MR10.zip (version 1.0)
DJP Menu Rotator. This PPE.
