*** JekPATH v1.0 ***
--- Copyright © 1992 M.J.Matts ---
--- This program is SHAREWARE ---
With the release of Jekyll v1.32 we were given the extra ability to
display a text file when Jekyll was first used in the form of JEKYLL.BAN,
however when QuickBBS runs Jekyll as an external protocol it doesn't change
the path to the directory Jekyll is in, unless you have Jekyll in the main BBS
folder anyway, therefore I wrote this small program to 'fix' this on my own
system and also for anyone who experiances the same problem I had, ie, Jekyll
would never find its .BAN, .FLO, .CFG etc etc files..
To use it you must rename JEKYLL.TTP into JEKYLL.OVL and then name this
file (JEKPATH.TTP) into JEKYLL.TTP. Then you _MUST_ create a file called
JEKPATH.PTH and place it in the >>ROOT<< of the drive you are running Jekyll
from. This file simple contains the full path to the JEKYLL files so that
Jekyll and all its config files can be in the same folder. I have included my
files for your own use or as an example.
When QuickBBS next tries to run Jekyll it will run JekPATH instead.
JekPATH will then 'grab' the commandline passed to it from QuickBBS, change
to the path given in the JEKPATH.PTH file, and then run JEKYLL.OVE with the
commandline originally given. Because of this you can now have most of your
Jekyll configuration switches in the JEKYLL.CFG file which will leave a
longer commandline for more files to be transfered..
If you do have any problems with this program then please let me know
but as its a simple program and theres not much to go wrong I doubt if you
will get problems, however, strange things do happen!!

This program should work with other BBS software packages if they have
the same problem, but as yet I have only tried it on QuickBBS.
Happy Full duplexing!!
*** The Shareware bit ***
As I spend nearly ALL my spare time programming (if thats what you
can call it) I would like to see some appreciation for my work. I would
suggest a donation of £10 pounds as this will be enough to keep me banging
away at the keyboard, oh yes, you will also receive a KEY file that can be
used with *ALL* my QBBS programs, thats right, for £10 pounds you will get one
key that allows you to use the following.. (NO, I'm not a salesman!!)
1) Make FILES.BBS - FILES.BBS management program - (Uses KEY)
2) QBBS FMail System - Local FILE mail system - (Uses KEY)
3) QBBS SplitZ - ANSI/VT52 Split screen chat - (Uses KEY)
4) QBBS Topper - Creates TOP user charts - (Uses KEY)
5) WhoWasIt - Creates last caller charts - (Uses KEY)
6) Auto Crunch - Creates NEW & ALL file lists - (Uses KEY)
7) Download Total - Adds a download counter - (No KEY needed)
8) Event Manager - Limits a users online time - (No KEY needed)
9) JekPATH - Makes Jekyll easier to use - (No KEY needed)
Now thats what I call value.. All you have to do is send me a cheque
/ international money order / postal order for the value of £10 and I will
then send you a KEY via any network of your choice.. (Preferably FidoNet or
NeST) There, couldn't be easier, or cheaper (well, it could be free!!).
If you do use any of my programs but do not want to register them I
would still like to hear from you with any suggestions or comments you may
have. Just because you do not register does not mean that I will not listen.
