PCBFX Version 1.1 Copyright 1992 Yandell Computer Services
PCBFX provides a profile report of a file's transfer information
such as who uploaded, number of downloads, date of upload, and date
of last download. PCBFX uses the PCBoard DOWNLOAD.TXT file for this
information. Also available is a Sysop Zippy text scan for the
DOWNLOAD.TXT file. All options and displays are security sensitive
for maximum flexibility. Every option is HIGHLY Sysop configurable
with the enclosed, easy to use FXSETUP program.
The many powerful features and operating procedures of PCBFX are
described in detail in PCBFX.DOC.
QUICK.DOC is not intended as a replacement for PCBFX.DOC. QUICK.DOC
allows you to QUICKLY install PCBFX and see its powerful, high
quality features. You may then decide if you wish to completely
install PCBFX on a customized basis using the detailed information
contained in PCBFX.DOC.
-[ Step 1 ]----------------
Extract the entire contents of PCBFX11.ZIP into its own location
(directory) where doors are generally located on your system.
-[ Step 2 ]----------------
The intent in PCBFX is to install it as an "add-on" command on the
PCBoard main menu, rather than in a door menu. First decide what you
would like this new "command" to be. Some examples:
FX - File Xfers
FI - File Information
FP - File Profile
Install a door called FX or whatever you decide to call it into your
DOORS.LST file using PCBSETUP. Answer the following questions:
USER DOOR
Filename Password Sec Login SYS SYS Shell Path to DOOR Files
-------- -------- --- ----- --- --- ----- ------------------
#) FX 10 N Y N Y (if appropriate)
-[ Step 3 ]----------------
Configure a door (batch) file. If the door is named FX the following
examples would be the contents of your door file named FX (NOTE: do
NOT place an extension such as .BAT on the FX file):
@echo off
C:\PCBFX\PCBFX.EXE PCBFX.CNF C:\PCB
------------------ --------- ------
| | |-> This node's home directory.
| |
| |
| ---------> The name of the configuration
| file. Enter a file NAME only.
| NEVER place a location here.
|
-------> The executable file name. Placing its location
in-line as shown results in MUCH faster response
time in executing the door.
The two lines above are all that is required to execute PCBFX when
running as a shelled-to door in PCBoard 14.5a. If you are not
running PCBoard 14.5a or you are not running PCBFX as a shelled-to
door, add the call to BOARD.BAT as the third command in the door
file. Do NOT end your door file with BOARD.BAT if running PCBFX as
a shell-to door in PCBoard 14.5a.
-[ Step 4 ]----------------
Run:
FXSETUP PCBFX.CNF
> Pressing F1 while editing a parameter will display a help screen!
The F1 help screen displayed at each parameter should be sufficient
to get PCBFX installed on a temporary basis for a quick evaluation.
When modifying PCBFX.CNF file(s), use ONLY the enclosed FXSETUP.EXE.
There are MANY other features which QUICK.DOC does not cover which
enhance PCBFX operation. Instructions for these features are located
in PCBFX.DOC and should be reviewed.
