PatchEvt Version 1.0
Freeware (c)1991 7th Illusion
All rights Reserved
Released November 20th, 1991
--- Introduction ---
PatchEvt is a SysOp utility to maintain proper event schedules
for PCBoard V14.5a. I expect it will be most often used to
'patch' a new event time within Pcboard.dat automatically before
loading Pcboard. This new time setting is passed by most
Front-End software as a number of minutes remaining before the
next event executes.
"Can't you use the /EVENT:### parameter on the command line?"
:-) Yes and no. Pcboard has never handled the value properly
(especially going in/out of doors) and patching Pcboard.Dat also
let's you use the other nifty features like stopping uploads
prior to events, etc.
I run several events a day including one at midnight where all
nodes must be down. This program was developed after my patience
ran out ...
--- Usage ---
PatchEvt.Exe {Pcboard.Dat} {Mins}
D:\>D:\Tools\PatchEvt.Exe E:\Pcb1\Pcboard.Dat 108
An example batch file (Spawnbbs.Bat) for BinkleyTerm is included
to give you an idea of it's usefulness.
