│INSTALLATION│
╘════════════╛
This is a handy little Time Bank program written using the PPL language for
PCBoard. It was tested & developed on a v15.22 system. It is intended for
systems that enforce Daily Time Limits. To run it, follow the installation
steps listed. If you have any questions, comments, or suggestions on the
software, please e-mail me on the Internet.
1) Create a BANK subdirectory off your main PCB directory. ie. x:\PCB\BANK
(a) Unzip the file contents into this newly created subdirectory.
2) Run PCBSetup.
(a) Edit your CMD.LST file and add the following entry.
CMD.LST Editor
Command Sec Minute Use Keystroke Substitution
----------- -------- ----------- ------- --------------------------------
#) TIME 10 <--\ 0 0 x:\PCB\BANK\BANKER.PPE
|
\-- Normal User Sec
3) Edit your menus (BRDM, BRDS, Etc) to reflect the new "TIME" command added.
4) Edit the BANKER.CFG file with any text editor, and select the following.
(a) LINE 1 - Maximum Number of Minutes Allowed to be Banked by each user.
(This will be the default for all sec levels unless overriden)
(b) LINE 2 - Enter "YES" to Enable the Time Gambling feature.
or
Enter "NO" to Disable the Time Gambling feature.
5) Edit the TIME.CFG file with any text editor, and select the overrides.
(a) LINE 1 - Enter the First Sec Level to override default minutes allowed.
or
Enter a "0" here if your not using this position.
(b) LINE 2 - Number of Minutes Allowed to be Banked by First Sec Level.
or
Enter a "0" here if not using the first position (Line 1).
(c) LINE 3 - Enter the Second Sec Level to override default minutes allowed.
or
Enter a "0" here if your not using this position.
(d) LINE 4 - Number of Minutes Allowed to be Banked by Second Sec Level.
or
Enter a "0" here if not using the second position (Line 3).
(e) LINE 5 - Enter the Third Sec Level to override default minutes allowed.
or
Enter a "0" here if your not using this position.
(f) LINE 6 - Number of Minutes Allowed to be Banked by Third Sec Level.
or
Enter a "0" here if not using the third position (Line 5).
6) That's it, you're done!
NOTE: The TIME.CFG configuration file is optional, and does not have to be
used. This config file is used to override the default time settings
in the BANKER.CFG file for upto three seperate security levels. If you
don't need this feature, simply delete the TIME.CFG file. The program
will run fine without it and use the default time settings in BANKER.CFG
for ALL of your defined Security Levels.
IMPORTANT: Please note that BANKER.DBF & BANKER.NDX are the DataBase files that
this program uses. DO NOT edit or alter these database files in any
way! If you do, the program may not run properly (if at all). If for
some reason your database gets corrupted, delete these two files and
copy the originals over from the original Banker zip file.

This program is distributed as SHAREWARE. Registration is absolutely FREE!
This programs operation is NOT crippled in any way! There is a small 3 second
shareware nag when the user exits the program. I like to think of this program
as emailware. I'm simply interested to hear from other PCBoard SysOp's that
run PCBoard, and especially those who run PCBoard/2 for OS/2.
To register, just send me an e-mail message on the Internet to: guy@in.net
In the message, leave me your SYSOP NAME and BBS NAME as you would like it
to appear in the program. I will UUEncode your registered version in a reply
message. If you register Time Banker, (like it's really time consuming and
expensive to send me e-mail), I will also send a registered version of the
Banker Editor program (EDITBANK.PPE) which allows you to easily edit the
DataBase and alter your users banked stats!
