Purpose: With the new group chat of PCBoard you no longer have to specify
a node number you wish to chat with. Some people have found it
confusing to type CHAT;G to join chat or find it not very
intuitive. This PPE file will override all the prompts and put
the caller directly into channel 1.
Install: To install this PPE file, simply add it to your CMD.LST file
in PCBSetup | File Locations | Configuration Files. Your
entry might look like this:
Command Security PPE/MNU File -or- Keystroke Replacement
══════════════ ════════ ═══════════════════════════════════════
1) CHAT 0 C:\PCB\PPE\CHAT.PPE
This would overload the normal CHAT command and let the PPE handle all
of the processing.
NOTE: You could also replace the NODE command since it is a synonym for
the CHAT command. If you wished to do this, you would simply make two
entries in the CMD.LST file:
Command Security PPE/MNU File -or- Keystroke Replacement
══════════════ ════════ ═══════════════════════════════════════
1) CHAT 0 C:\PCB\PPE\CHAT.PPE
2) NODE 0 C:\PCB\PPE\CHAT.PPE
The source code is included as CHAT.PPS should you need to make any
modifications. However, be aware that you do need to have the PPL
Compiler to actually create the compiled file.
