DWNLDCD.PPE, written by Steven Hauswirth
═════════════════════════════════════════
DWNLDCD.PPE is a replacement for PCBoard's "Enter the Filename to Download"
prompt. It makes a full screen download counter that displays info about the
last ten files flagged for a batch download. This info includes: filename,
filesize, and transfer time.
Files suggested for operation:
DWNLDCD.PPE The full screen download counter PPE
DWNLDCD.PPS The source code for DWNLD.PPE
DWNLDCD.DOC This file <g>.
Installation is long but fairly simple:
1) Copy all the suggested files to your C:\PCB\PPL directory (or any other
location of your choosing)
2) Run MKPCBTXT to edit your PCBTEXT file (should be done for each PCBTEXT
you have).
3) Press the F3 function key and select record #61.
4) You'll see a line that says something similar to:
Enter the filename to Download (Enter)=none
Replace it with a line such as this (reflecting your chosen dir):
!C:\PCB\PPL\DWNLDCD.PPE
5) Exit PCBTEXT and make sure that your batch file that loads each node of
the BBS has its environment variables PCBDRIVE and PCBDIR set to the
nodes home directory.
And thats all to it!
The source code for this PPE is located within this archive as DWNLDCD.PPS.
Modify it as you need to for your system, but please do not redistribute the
modified source code.
If anyone has any suggestions as to new features then either leave me mail
on Salt Air, U'NI net, or call my board at (312) 594-0643.
