[911] PCBForum v.94c Sample Menu Set.
-------------------------------------
Hi, this is Straight Jacket (Creator of PCBForum) - I can see that you have
decided so far to take a look at making a menu set for the next version
of PCBForum - version 94c.
Well I would first off like to thank you for your interest and I'll just
explain a few things that you should know when making the menu set and what to
do when finished.
WHAT THE HELL IS PCBFORUM?
--------------------------
Well I've been running PCBoard for a while and I've noticed that every ELITE
board has tried to make their board look as if it was a FORUM board. But the
thing is you just can't fake it with PCBoard because everything is done from
the main menu.
So when the PPL (PCBoard Programming Language) came about I started work
on PCBForum. So if you are running PCBoard right now -- YOU don't have to fake
it anymore - Your board can look like a FORUM! Easy to install there is only
one PPE! Unlike some try hard FORUM/PCBOARD combos this is all done with one
PPE. It has rumours, bbs list, seperate message/xfers menu etc. and most of
it, if not all of the commands are similar to those of FORUM commands.
Simple Instructions
-------------------
1) I would appreciate it if you would save all the menus using the PCBoard
@X codes. This is simple to do. - IF you can't grasp this just save
them as .ans files! :) There may be a few exceptions with the file
stats and message stats - Even I had to use ANSI there!
- 1st block your menu and then press ALT S and then instead of pressing
[A] for ANSI save press [@] for @X save and then select PCBOARD and then
you can do the rest from there. (lots of and thens eh?)
2) If you are editing the PCBFORUM.PCB (where all the text is stored) and
wish to make what i call tacky prompts (more than one line prompt)
you may do this by making an external file. Just replace the line
where the default text prompt was with the name of the file for the
external prompt.
For example - lets say you wanted to make a two - three line main menu
prompt. You would make your prompt and save it as mainp.pcb. - you
would then erase the text line that had the default main menu prompt
and just place the mainp.pcb - Now lets take a closer look -->
e.g.
Default prompt was :
@X09[Main Menu@X09] Command:
Replace this with:
mainp.pcb
NOTE: You may do this with the all the prompts!
3) I would like to release PCBForum v.94c on APRIL 1 so the quicker you
can get these to me there better. Once again I sincerly appreciate it.
4) ZIP all the NEW menus up when you are done. If you want you could
include a info file - maybe a BBS ad or something you would like to
say about your menu sets.
