PBMOVE is an utility written for the BBS program ProBoard for more com-
fortable administration of message and file areas. Single areas can be
inserted, edited, moved, copied, deleted or cleared. Global functions
provide global changing of all areas, single area groups or different
marked areas all together at once. In addition Hudson base users can
edit the Hudson base numbers within ProBoard.

A complete installation of ProBoard version 2.10 or higher is required
only. Version 2.01 is not supported.
Furthermore the files MGROUPS.PB (message area groups), FGROUPS.PB
(file areas groups) and AKA.PRO (AKA entries) are required within the
ProBoard directory. If these files are not present because there is no
need for defining groups or AKA's they can be created as empty files
with the following commands at the MS-DOS prompt within the ProBoard
directory:
■ C:\PB> rem >mgroups.pb <ENTER>
■ C:\PB> rem >fgroups.pb <ENTER>
■ C:\PB> rem >aka.pro <ENTER>
It is however recommended to organize message and file areas within
groups in order to enable all global editing functions of PBMOVE.

With ProBoard the configuration tool PROCFG provides a helpful tool
for administring the different message and file areas. Unfortunately
some important features for more effective administration are still
missing in the version 2.1x of ProBoard such as moving areas, global
area editing or changing of the Hudson Base Number. PBMPVE eliminates
these disturbing shortcomings in most efficient manner.

In summary PBMOVE provides the following functionality:
■ PROCFG-compatible editing of areas
■ Direct moving of areas with cursor keys
■ Inserting and deleting of areas
■ Sorting of areas to area name, group, level and Hudson number
■ Copying areas (1:1 copy)
■ Erasing the contents of areas (but keeping the area number)
■ Global editing of all areas
■ Global editing within the defined area groups
■ Global editing of different marked areas
■ Global editing of single groups
■ Automatic first letter area search
■ Area search function with full text retrieval
■ Editing of Hudson base number
■ Printing of area listings into ASCII file
■ Automatic backup of the files concerned every startup

PBMOVE is provided in an archive file named PBMOVExx.ZIP, where xx in-
dicates the actual version number supplied, e.g. PBMOVE13.ZIP shows
that version 1.3 is included. After unpacking the archive file the
following files should be there:
■ FPBMOVE.CFG * Configuration file for PBMSG.EXE
■ MPBMOVE.CFG * Configuration file for PBFILE.EXE
■ PBFILE.EXE * File area module
■ PBMOVE.DOC English documentation (this file)
■ PBMOVE.DOK German documentation
■ PBMOVE.EXE * Executable programm shell
■ PBMSG.EXE * Message area module
■ FILE_ID.DIZ Short description for FILES.BBS
■ FILE_ID.GER German description for FILES.BBS
■ REGISTER.DOC English registration form
■ REGISTER.DOK German registration form
The archive should be extracted into the ProBoard directory but the
files marked with an * are mandatory to reside within this directory.
Of the three .EXE files PBMOVE.EXE is only executable one.

The scroll bar highlights the module MESSAGE AREAS by default. With the
<cursor down> and <cursor up> keys the bar changes between both modules
and pressing the <ENTER> key starts the module concerned. The use of
each of the two modules is described here.
After invoking the MESSAGE AREA module a short message appears on the
screen indicating that the file to be changed (here: MESSAGES.PB) is

The keyboard definitions are identical in both modules and is therefore
described in common whereas differences are mentioned differently.
The red scroll bar positioned on the first area can be controlled with
the keys described below:
┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ <cursor down> ■ one area forward │
│ <cursor up> ■ one area back │

The use of the following keys will provide the essential functions of
PBMOVE:
┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ <Tab> ■ mark areas to move │
└─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
Pressing the <Tab> key inverts the red scroll bar into blue in order to
show the switching into the move mode of PBMOVE. The marked area is
moved by pressing the above mentioned keys. The areas adjacent to the
moved one will be moved up or down accordingly. For performance reasons
the moving is done at once without further confirmation by pressing the
appropriate moving key.
┌── CAUTION: Moving the marked area will already change the ──────────┐
└─────────── existing area structure! ────────────────────────────────┘
Pressing the <Tab> or <ENTER> key will remove the marking and the move
mode is left accordingly.
┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ <ENTER> ■ editing area │
└─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
Pressing the <ENTER> key will invoke the PROCFG compatible editor mode.
All entries can be edited in the same way as the ProBoard tool PROCFG
does.
However within the module MESSAGE AREAS in non editable fields the pro-
cedure to choose between the options has been chanced in that way that
instead pressing the keys <cursor left> or <cursor right> to alter the
options, now by pressing the <Enter> key a window opens showing the
options possible. With the <cursor up> and <cursor down> keys one
option is marked and finally selected by pressing the <Enter> key. The
following example shows the field "Message kind":
.......................................................................

Only the "Yes/No" entry within the field "All Groups" is changed in the
usual way by pressing the <cursor right> or <cursor left> key.
┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ <Enter> of numeric block ■ mark area │
└─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
Pressing the <Enter> key of the numeric block the actual area is marked
and shown with a green bar. All areas marked in this way can be edited
globally, that means together and at once, as described under <F2>.
┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ <x> of numeric block ■ mark all areas │
└─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
Pressing the <x> key of the numeric block all areas are marked together.
With the <Enter> key of the numeric block single areas can be unmarked.
┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐

└─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
Pressing the <÷> key of the numeric block a window opens which after
confirming with <ENTER> shows a menu for choosing all groups ("EDIT
SELECTED ITEMS") or the single group marked with the <cursor> keys:

└─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
The area at the scroll bar position will be copied (duplicated) and in-
serted just below the scroll bar. The adjacent areas will be moved one
row (number) down.
┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ <Ins> ■ inserting empty area │
└─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
A new empty area is inserted at the scroll bar position and the
adjacent areas will be moved one row (number) down.
┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ <Del> ■ deleting area │
└─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
The area marked with the scroll bar will be deleted completely and the
adjacent areas will be moved one row (number) up.
┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ <Backspace> ■ erasing area contents │
└─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
All entries within the area will be erased the area number is kept
however.
When executing the functions "delete area" or "erase area contents" a
warning message appears: "DELETE (or CLEAR) area? Are you sure?" for
security reasons. This message can be accepted with "YES" if the area
concerned should be deleted/cleared or rejected with "NO".
Finally a few function keys are defined as follows:
┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ <F1> ■ help screen key │
└─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
By pressing the <F1> key the following help screen appears which
shows the key definitions of PBMOVE:

┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ <F2> ■ menu for global editing │
└─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
Pressing this key the menu for global editing opens. Global editing
means that entries of different areas can be changed together at once.
Difference is made between group editing and area editing. Group edi-
ting means changing all areas of one group together, whereas area edi-
ting changes together all single marked areas only independent of their
group membership.
Within the module MESSAGE AREAS the menu looks like this:

The handling of both modules of PBMOVE is identical so that the follo-
wing description apply to the module FILE AREAS too whereas the shown
examples are related to the MESSAGE AREAS module.
When doing group editing first of all the <Tab> key has to be pressed
to choose the group which areas are to be changed together. Area edi-
ting does not require pressing the <Tab> key as area editing ("EDIT
SELECTED ITEMS") is marked as default.

In the example shown this means that only all areas of the group
"FidoNet" are to be changed together at once.
With the keys <cursor down> and <cursor up> the field to be changed
is marked and finally chosen with the <Enter> key, the example shows
the field "Message Kind":
┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐

.......................................................................
Within the non editable fields pressing the <ENTER> key will open a
window im which the entry of the field can be chosen with the <cursor
down> and <cursor up> keys and selected with the <Enter> key. Into the
editable fields the enties have to entered. By default the value "0"
is given. Again with <ENTER> it is jumped to the next field and if a
change has been made two fields named "-START-" and "-CANCEL-" will
appear to decide if the change is to be made or cancelled instead.
Please note that within group editing that only field entries are
changed which correspond with the entry in the left field. In the shown
example above this means that only the areas with the entry "Local" in
this field are changed. All other areas without these entry are not
changed.
Area editing works in the same manner except the fact that the entries
of all marked areas will be overwritten with the chosen or entered value
without warning:
┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ ··21 ·┌ GLOBAL EDITOR - EDIT GROUP : ─────────────────────────────┐ │

│ ··25 ·│ Update MESSAGE KIND area to : │ │
│ ··26 ·│ │ │
│ ··27 ·│ Local │ │
│ ··28 ·│ │ │
│ ··29 ·│ │ │
.......................................................................
In this example the field "MESSAGE KIND" is set in every marked area to
the entry "Local" regardless the former field entry.
┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ <F3> ■ first column for AutoSearch │
└─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
By pressing the <F3> key a window opens in which the column to start
the AutoSearch can be entered. AutoSearch in this context means that
when entering every letter the scroll bar jumps to the first matching
area with the appropriate letter. Because there can be area descrip-
tions containing equal prefixes which hampers the AutoSearch function
the <F3> key of PBMOVE provides a possibility to handle this as the
following example shows:
.......................................................................
│ ···6 [SOFT] FrontDoor │
│ ···7 [HARD] Crea┌────────────────────────────────────────┐ │

│ ··10 [FIDO] 2461│ │ │
│ ··11 [HARD] CD-R└────────────────────────────────────────┘ │
│ ··12 [INFO] Licher Export │
.......................................................................
Because the actual description of the area starts at the eighth charac-
ter the column to start the AutoSearch function has also be set to 8.
┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ <F4> ■ criteria for fulltext search │
└─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
With the function fulltext search any text string within an area des-
cription can be retrieved. For example the definition of the string
"NTD" as search criteria would produce the area "FrontDoor". The search
criteria string is not case sensitive.
.......................................................................

.......................................................................
The order of sorting of "NAME", "GROUP #0" and "HUDSON BASE" is ascen-
ding, whereas "LEVEL" are sorted descending.
Please note that when using the "HUDSON BASE" sorting the area number
shown in PBMOVE or PROCFG is not identical with the Hudson Base Number.
This means that despite new sorting order the Hudson Base Numbers are
left untouched. The program PROCFG does not provide editing of the Hud-
son Base Number as these number is not kept in an own field. PBMOVE
provides this functionality by inserting an additional field "Hudson-
Base" into the PROCFG-compatible Editor:
.......................................................................

│ Path : Group #2 : 0 │
│ Message Kind : Echomail Group #3 : 0 │
│ Message Type : Public Only Group #4 : 0 │
│ Name Options : Real Names Only │
│ Message Base : Hudson HudsonBase : 160 All Groups : No │
.......................................................................
If a new area is created with PBMOVE the field "HudsonBase" has an entry
"0" by default. If no other number or a number which already exists is
entered, an appropriate warning message appears.
The module FILE AREAS offers the following sorting choices:

The order of sorting of "NAME" and "GROUP #0" is ascending, whereas
"LEVEL" is sorted descending.
The choice of a sorting criteria is made with the <cursor> keys and
a confirmation with the <ENTER> key to begin with the sorting routine:

Pressing the <F6> key an ASCII file is written within every module
which contains a detailled listing of all area entries. This file can
be sent to a printer. The files are named "FILECFG.LST" (module FILE
AREAS) and "MESSAGES.LST" (module MESSAGES AREAS) and will be written
to the ProBoard directory.
The listing of the module MESSAGE AREA has the following structure:

PBMOVE was developed in Borland Pascal version 7.0 as PSC (Primary
Source Compiler). As SSC (Secondary Source Compiler) Warsteiner beer
was used, of course.

PBMOVE is used entirely on own risk. The autor will take no responsibi-
lity for any loss of data or any other direct and indirect damage which
may occur during the usage of PBMOVE.
PBMOVE is the interlectual property of Robin Heilos and as such pro-
tected by international copyright laws. Reverse engineering, patching
or any other modification is specifially prohibited without permission
of the author.
PBMOVE is supplied as shareware so it can be used and tested 30 days
for evaluation purposes free. After 30 days PBMOVE has either to be
registered for a fee of DM 20,00 or the usage of PBMOVE has to stop and
all files and versions of PBMOVE must be deleted. Distribution of
PBMOVE must follow the shareware principle so that a small fee only for
copying and providing the program ought to be charged by commercial
shareware distributors. The charging of additional fees like such for
unlocking archives as practiced by the company Intersoft at 46045 Ober-
hausen, is hereby strictly forbidden.

To register PBMOVE the form REGISTER.DOC has to be completed and should
be returned to the author via netmail or snailmail. When the registra-
tion fee is received by the author via remittance or mail the keyfile
is sent immediately via crashmail to the fido-address. The keyfile has
to be copied into the ProBoard directory an PBMOVE will start up in the
registered mode from now on.
