The Ultimate PCBoard v15.21 File Area Lists
Version 1.0 Release
An UltiWares(c)1995 Release
Release Info: Compiled On Feb 3, 1995
Written By : Niels Damgaard
Compiler : PPLC v3.10
** This version works with PCBoard 15.21 and above ONLY! **
Introduction
────────────
I wrote this little PPE utility to compliment the 'FLAG' file selection
PPE that almost everyone is using. Hopefully this will help you run your BBS
more easily. Now there's no need to waste your time making all of those file
area listings. Just install the Ultimate File Area Lister and walk away. You
will never have to make a file area listing again!
AREAS.ppe will support a maximum of 500 file areas per conference. Custom
configurations for more areas will be compiled upon request.
Installation
────────────
*** Make sure you set SWAP To Disk When SHELLING to 'YES' if you want to be
able to use the built-in filelist feature!
This is a VERY easy install! In this release there's nothing to configure.
Just add a command to your CMD list(I use 'F') and add the path to the
AREAS.PPE to your DIR and DIRG files, modify the optional AREAS.CFG and
you're done! Here's an example.
This is an example of your CMD.LST File!

AREA#.GRP
----------
You can have a maximum of 50 groups with 30 file area settings for each group.
Where the question mark in the filename is the conference number. For example
the main conference would have a group config file name of AREA0.GRP and so
on.
The format for this file is as follows. There will be a description line
followed by a line with the file areas to be included and finally a line with
the name of the Group Information File( a file containing information on this
group)
Example...
Programming File Areas
20 34 54-59 100
PROGRAM
Please see the example group config file for more of a look at how you set
this file up. It's very easy...
AREA#.MNU
----------
Where the question mark in the filename is the conference number. For example
the main conference would have a group menu file name of AREA0.MNU and so
on.
You can override the built-in Menu by using this file. This file may support
ASCII or PCBoard Color and Macro codes.
*Experiment to see what the effect of making changes will be!
And That's It! You're Done
