- PCBFX Version 2.4 Copyright 1992-1996 Yandell Custom Software
-
- PCBFX provides a profile report of a file's transfer information
- such as who uploaded, number of downloads, date of upload, the date
- of last download, if time / bytes are charged, enough time / bytes,
- and compressed file information (oldest and newest dates, quantity).
- PCBFX uses the PCBoard DOWNLOAD.TXT file for this information. A
- "database" may optionally be made from DOWNLOAD.TXT for instant file
- profiles. A (T)op download profile may be displayed which shows up
- to the top 50 (Sysop configurable) downloads on the system. Also
- available is a Sysop (Z)ippy text search/scan for the DOWNLOAD.TXT
- file, and a user (Y)our-profile scan where the caller may review
- their own file transfers. Every option is configurable with the
- enclosed, easy to use FXSETUP program (some profile scans will not
- be available, depending on how PCBFX is installed).
-
- NOTE: This QUICK.DOC covers basic PCBFX installation for use with
- the PCBoard file DOWNLOAD.TXT only. Creating and maintaining the
- optional database for instant profiles and top 50 downloads is not
- covered here. Refer to PCBFX.DOC for database installation and use.
-
- Many other aspects of installing and using 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 PCBFX23.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 (other parameters)
- -------- -------- --- ----- --- --- ----- ------------------
- #) FX 10 N Y N S (set as needed)

-
-
- -[ 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):
-
-
- (no space here)
- @echo off ||
- C:\PCBFX\PCBFX.EXE PCBFX.CNF %PCBDRIVE%%PCBDIR%
- ------------------ --------- ------------------
- | | |-> 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 loading
- time for the program.
-
- The two lines above are all that is required to execute PCBFX when
- running as a SWAPPED SHELL door in PCBoard 14.5a through 15.2x
-
-
- -[ Step 4 ]----------------
- Run:
- FXSETUP.EXE
-
- > Pressing F1 while editing a parameter will display a help screen!
-
- The F1 help screen displayed at each parameter should be sufficient
- to install PCBFX on a temporary basis for a quick evaluation.
-
- NOTE: Answer the parameter: "Database mode for PCBFX to use" with a
- "1" (number 1) for this QUICK installation mode. To use the other
- database modes you MUST refer to PCBFX.DOC.
-
- 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.
