-
-
- Installation: The PPE can be installed in valid desired PPE call
- locations, such as: the text display files SCRIPT0, or
- the PCBTEXT location 166.
-
- Usage:
-
- 1. When the PPE executes, it generates a text display bulletin
- called ALLCALL located in the same directory as the PPE file.
- The ALLCALL bulletin file can then be called as an INTRO file,
- a regular bulletin file, or any other text display file means.
-
- 2. The PPE itself can be placed in any location desired as long
- as the full path is entered in the callout.
-
- 3. The PPE must be called with two command line switches, such as:
- ALLCALL.PPE 20 500 where 500 = the maximum number of calls to
- place in bulletin and 20 = the security level to begin high-
- lighting to indicate as a supporting member.
-
- 4. I recommend placing the PPE in PCBTEXT location 166 and call
- such as: !C:\PCB\PPE\ALLCALL.PPE 20 500 (To do this, run
- program MKPCBTEXT.EXE, enter name of file such as PCBTEXT, select
- F3, enter 166, then enter the PPE call.
-
- 5. The program creates a .TMP file which it uses to generate the
- PCBoard color coded bulletin. It can be edited if necessary.
-
-
-
- Contents: 1. ALLCALL.DOC this file.
- 2. ALLCALL.PPE the subject PPE file.
-
-
- Registration: NONE!! There is no registration fee. Basic use of the PPE
- is FREE!!!
-
- However, if you feel compelled that my work is worth
- compensation, I will accept all offers. Thank You!
-
- Also, if you would like to provide suggestions for
- improvement to the PPE, bug reports, or just a note
- of thanks or hello, please forward those as well. See
- below for my mailing address and BBS number. Additionally,
- I frequently browse the RIME Sysop and PCBoard conferences,
- although contacting me there is not as reliable because
- sometimes I get too busy to call.
-
-
- Updates: The latest version of the PPE program can be obtained from
- my BBS: SBG Online! BBS (703) 450-9456. If you have any
- comments or suggestions for improvement, you can leave them
- there also. The file will be found in directory #1 as a
- FREE/NOTIME file. The BBS runs PCBoard 15 at 14400v42bis.
