EZ Select Conference
The ultimate select command replacement for PcBoard 15.22
Written by: Jeff Davis [J & J WaReZ] CopyRight 1996
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
INTRO: This is a PPE to replace the 'Select' command in PcBoard.
─────────
FEATURES: * Full lightbar support for selecting commands & tagging conferences
* Fully configurable
* Allows use of 'stacked' commands
* AutoDetects ANSi, and uses PCB's default select if not available

─────────
SUPPORT AND: This PPE is shareware. The only feature not available to
REGISTRATION unregistered versions is the Text Search. After a reasonable test
INFO period (like 30 days) you should consider sending in the $5.00
registration fee. Any and all upgrades will be completely free,
and I will continue to support and update the program as long as
it is relevant to do so.

QUESTIONS & ANSWERS:
Q: How do I change the border colors?
A: The border colors are not in the config file. The border is part
of EZSC.PCB. You can edit that file to whatever your heart desires.
───────────────────
Q: If I add or delete conferences, do I have to do anything?
A: NO!!! Starting with Version 1.09ß there are NO external files!
Everything is internal, so changes are automatically detected and
taken care of!
───────────────────
Q: I upgraded from an earlier version and all I get is junk printed
on the screen?
A: The cfg file has changed, your still using the old one!!!
───────────────────
Q: Some of my conferences aren't getting displayed on the screen!
A: EZSC skips over the following conferences:
1) If the user doesn't have access to the conference
2) If it's a "blank conference" i.e. The conference name is blank
3) If the MSGS file defined in PCBSETUP does not exist.
4) If the user is expired and doesn't have expired access to the
conference.
───────────────────
Q: Why is the sky blue?
A: How should I know? Go ask your Mommy!
────────
FINAL THOUGHTS: If you don't know how to use the program, READ THE HELP!
In the List Selected Mode, if you deselect a conference,
it will remain on the screen until you do something to cause
the page to be rewritten, (PgUp, PgDn, and Up arrow past the
first conference on the screen, or down arrow past the last
conference on the screen.
My next addition will most likely be a way to group
conferences into categories, so users can go to a specific
area of your conference lists, without having to see all of
them.
This PPE has been tested in a multinode environment!
It appears to pose NO problems, but the possibility
does exist, so if you find one let me know ASAP!
Starting with Version 2.5 it appears to be alot less
disk intensive, so the lag for big bbs's on networks
should be alot better!
Sorry for the big delay on this version, had a little trouble
with things. (My hard Drive dying being the biggest one!)
Any comments or thoughts on making it better/easier will be
very appreciated.
I hope there isn't any typos in here! :)
Greets to Joker and Darth Vader, Spider Baby, & Oger

Special Big Thanks to Bill S. (Mono) for your help
and thoughts in testing this thing.
And a Big Thanks to David Stanton for your input!
