- | 1. Introduction |
- +-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
- See HISTORY.DOC for changes since v1.0 and v1.1 and v1.2.
-
- This is a PPE replacement for your CNFN file. Features:
-
- o Automatic print out of only the conferences a user has access to.
- o Ignores/skips any "blank" conferences.
- o You do not need to enter in the names of your conferences so
- there is no heinous 1000+ line config file.
-
- Written in PPL 3.0 for PCBoard 15.2+ only.
-

- | 2. Packaging |
- +-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
- Your zip file should contain the following files:
-
- JOIN.PPE The PPE itself.
- JOIN.PPS Source code to the PPE.
- JOIN.CFG Config file.
- JOIN.DOC Documentation (you are reading it now)
- JOIN.TOP Header file
- JOIN.BOT Footer file
- HISTORY.DOC History/Revision file.
- OTHERDJP.DOC Other stuff I've written.
- FILE_ID.DIZ File (zip) description.
- PWA.NFO PWA info file.
- TSP.NFO My bbs ad.
-
- If any of these files are missing, be warned that you may have a copy
- that has been tampered with. If you have any extra files, they are
- extraneous and unnecessary.
-
- Typically, my bbs ad may not be there, which is not a problem. However,
- the idiots who contribute this to the fidonet backbone (usually originating
- from the Clipper Workshop BBS) edit the FILE_ID.DIZ, remove PWA.NFO and
- OTHERDJP.DOC, and insert their own bbs ad which is bigger than most ppe's.
- Just be aware, since who knows what other stupidities they may pull.
-
-
- +-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
- | 3. Installation |
- +-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
- Install this inside of your CNFN file. So just edit the file, and
- put something like !C:\PCB\PPE\JOIN\JOIN.PPE on a line by itself.
- (needless to say, you probably don't want anything else in the file <g>)
-
-
- +-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
- | 4. Misc Notes |
- +-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
- JOIN.TOP is the header file.
- JOIN.BOT is the footer file.
- JOIN.CFG uses replacement codes. See details within the file itself.
- (Don't worry, it's only 4 lines long. :) )
-
- Since this PPE has to create the list of available conferences for the
- online user "on the fly", In version 1.5 we added Lightbar capabilities to this
- list, making it easier for users to select the conference they want.
-
- Source is included, so feel free to modify to your heart's content in
- order to satisfy your needs. I am not asking for money (although receiving
- money would be nice), so the least you can do is have a conscience and not
- redistribute modified versions of this source. I include source so that other
- programmers can learn from the mess I make <g> and get other (new) ideas as to
- how to do something.
