ProBoard 2.15 PEX Version 1.2

║ ▒▒ Introduction ▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒ ║
╚══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝
UserBar is a PEX for ProBoard 2.15 that will show the user a tiny graphical
bar with the amount of Time/Kb he/she has left. It is totally user
configurable, including the characters and all colors used.
UserBar is configured by an .INI file. New in this version is that you can
have multiple .INI files for every menu. This means total flexibility!
UserBar needs ANSi to run smooth. If a you have users who use ASCii, don't
panic! The program will recognize their terminal setting and they won't see
a thing.
Messager is, like all my other ProBoard utilities, FREEWARE.
I'd like to encourage more programmers to write FreeWare in stead of
ShareWare, because there are a lot of programmers (I don't write names)
who spend more time on their registration key system than the actual
program...

■ Some optimalisation!
- Version 1.1
■ Bugfix: When Time/Kb Limit is set to 0, for New Users, eg. UserBar gave
a nice Divide Error and returns to the DOS Prompt. This is now FIXED !

■ This is the first public release.
■ Almost everything user definable through an .INI file.
■ Amount in Percent (%) or in minutes/Kb left on the screen?

╚══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝
Copy the PEX file (USERBAR.PEX) to the PEX directory. Copy the sample
configuration file USERBAR.INI to any directory.
Make, in a menu an entry to run UserBar. If you have an automated entry
to show your menu ANSi file, add another automated entry right after it.
Use a #60 - Run SDK File with USERBAR in the data line. Add after that
a parameter which calls the configuration file, until you have the
following syntax:
USERBAR <Path and Filename of a configuration file>
eg. USERBAR C:\PB\USERBAR\MAIN.USB
Modify the configuration file to your needs. There's no need for a
description in this file, the .INI file is well commented.
As you can see, you can have several configuration files. Now, you can
make one for every menu on your BBS! I think this PEX is completely
configurable.
For compatibility reasons, there's a backwards support with my older
versions. If you just enter 'USERBAR' on the data line, then the program
will try to search for USERBAR.INI in the ProBoard System Directory.
