Program: PROTOCOL.PPE v1.30a - Compiled on this date of 06-17-93
Description: Use this PPE program to replace your (T)ransfer Protocol
menu command. Does everything the regular command does
and more.
Installation: Just add this PPE file name and path to your CMD.LST file
so PCBOARD will run this PPE instead of your regular menu
command. This is an Example of what it might look like:
1) T 0 C:\PCB\PROTOCOL.PPE
Next you must insert the CONNECT.PPE into a file that will
be displayed as a user logs onto the bulletin board. The
reason for this PPE is, the PPLC command "MODEM()" does
not stay in RAM if a user opens a door or drops to dos, so
in order to determine if the user is able to choose a error
correcting protocol I need to read his connect string. I
inserted this PPE at the top of my PCBoard security files,
the proper line of test is this:
!C:\PCB\PROTOCOL\CONNECT.PPE C:\PCB\PROTOCOL
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
In the above example notice that the PPE program needs a
command line argument. The command line MUST be the full
drive and path on where you have the PROTOCOL.PPE. You
may or may not include a trailing backslash. All this PPE
program does is creates a file called CONNECT.### where the
"###" is the current node the user is on.
The last thing you must do is edit the PROTOCOL.CNF file.
This file has one line and the line MUST be the drive and
path of your protocol batch files (PCBR?.BAT and PCBS?.BAT)
Modifying: Feel free to modify the PPS (source) file as your needs
dictate. That is why the source is included. Please
upload a copy of the modified PPS (source) to my board
before a modified copy is uploaded to SaltAir. If this
request can not be achieved, then I will no longer be
able to include the source code to my PPE programs.
