INTRODUCTION
------------
WONDIR is a PCBoard 15.1 specific ppe that will replace ALL of your dir
files. The DIR's, DIRG's and DIRR's, across all conferences, are created
on-the-fly. The shareware version includes the 20 place, double-column,
multi-page module. (wondir1.ppe)
FEATURES
--------
- Auto multi-page mode for boards with more than 20 files areas
- Move forward and backward through multi-page listings
- ANSI Color and Mono screens
- SysOp defined colors (registered)
- RIPscrip graphics
- RIPscrip is 100% mouseable (choose dir to view with mouse - registered)
- 4 second display file for d/l hogs exceeding (sysop defined ratios ^^^)
- Easy installation and no maintenance
FILES
-----
* dlhog - mono/pcb@X color display file for download hogs.
* dlhogr - RIP display file for download hogs.
* wondir.cfg - user defined colors, extended rip support (registered)
* wondir.ppe - the main ppe
* wondir1.ppe - 20 place, double-column, multi-page module
dir - your new 'do-all' dir file
wondir.doc - the doc file (you're reading it)
file_id.diz - brief program description
flagbarr - replacement prompt (RIP)
prefiler - replacement display file (RIP)
register.frm - mail-in registration form
* -- required files ... see setup
SETUP
-----
1. Setup is very simple. Create a directory and place in it, the
required files as marked with * above.
2. Go to the dir file for your main board and change it to read:
!\pcb\ppe\wondir\wondir.ppe
the above command assumes you have placed the files in a directory
named: \pcb\ppe\wondir\
that's it ... one line ... delete the rest of the file.
3. Next, delete ALL other dir files on your board. This 'one dir' does
all your conference specific dirs. (sorry, I HAD to say it)
4. Go into pcbsetup and change the name and location for the dir file in
ALL conferences to point to the same dir file as your main board
That's all. ain't it wondirful? (ok, ok, I'll stop)
NOTE: do not try to run wondir1.ppe, it is only a WONDIR module.
CONFIGURATION (registered version only)
-------------
The configuration file is optional. If it is not present, WONDIR simply
uses built-in defaults. See wondir.cfg for configuration options
RIPscrip GRAPHICS
-----------------
If you are using FLAG3x.PPE by David Terry, you may use the included
replacement files - flagbarr and prefiler
Your flagbarr file should be in the same directory as flag3x.ppe. The
flagbarr included with this ppe provides a rip specific prompt for
flag3x.ppe.
Your prefiler command display file should be in your \pcb\cmd directory.
The prefiler included with this package provides a seamless hand-off
to flag3x.ppe.
REGISTRATION
------------
Registration activates reading of the config file. You can customize
the colors of the ansi screen, choose the text that appears (centered)
at the top of the dir, disable the d/l hog checker and/or adjust the
ratio threshold for the d/l hog checker.
Registration also enables mouse fields on directory list (RIP) so that
users can point and shoot to view a directory, making WONDIR 100% mouseable.
Also, the UNREGISTERED notice goes away and, on the ANSI screen, is
replaced with your board name. (or text of your choice)
