No Alias v1.0
================================
Written by: Steve Catmull
05/11/93
Purpose:
This PPE will make it so that you user will not be asked for a handle when
entering group chat. Instead, the default is always used.
Installing:
To install this PPE, simply use MKPCBTXT to edit record #49. In that
record enter an ! (exclamation point) followed by the name and location
of the NOHANDLE.PPE to execute. Example:
═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
Record No.: 49 Record Length: 56 Justification: Left
─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
Enter `handle' to be used for Node Chat
!C:\BLAH\TEMP\NOHANDLE.PPE
═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
Next, you need to modify record number 178 to point to the location of the
NOHANCHG.PPE file. Begin the record with an exclamation point followed by
the drive, path, and filename to the NOHANCHG.PPE file. Example:
═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
Record No.: 178 Record Length: 70 Justification: Left
─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
(@X0C@TIMELEFT@@X0A min. left) (H)elp, Chat Command
!C:\BLAH\TEMP\NOHANCHG.PPE
═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
The first PPE stops users from ever seeing the prompt that asks them for their
handle. The second PPE is used to prevent users from issuing the HANDLE
command and then stacking their name on the command line.
That is all there is to it.
HISTORY
======================================================================
v1.0 * Initial Release
v1.1 * Added another PPE to this package to prevent users from changing
their handle by stacking the name with the HANDLE command.
