░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░ DESCRIPTION ░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░
─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
MB-HOLD.PEX is another PEX designed to show your users if some netmail is
waiting for them on your system.
Really everything can be configured!! All the coordinates, all the colors,
all the text, ... just everything!!!
─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░ DISCLAIMER ░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░
─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
In no way will I be liable for the loss of profits, lost savings or other
incidental or consequential damages arising from your use or inability to use
the software, or for any claim by any other party.
This program works great on my BBS, unfortunatly, it might not on yours. Let
me know of any problems. I would say that this program will take up some disk
space but that would be, a NO BRAINER <BG>!
─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░ INSTALLATION ░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░
─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
Place the MB-HOLD.PEX in your PEX directory. You can put this PEX in the
TOP.PBM or in any other menu.
Please copy also the MB-HOLD.ANS file to your textfiles directory. This is a
simple example, but you may use your own painting :-))
Copy the MB-HOLD.INI file to your systempath of ProBoard (eg. C:\PB) and
change the settings to your configuration!
You can specify a special INI-file according to the language of the user!!
But, be carefull! The extension MUST BE ".INI", otherwise it will not work
properly.
An example:
On my board, I've installed two languages, ENGLISH.PBL and DUTCH.PBL. There-
for I've added the following two lines in the MB-HOLD.INI file:
ENGLISH=G:\BBS\PB\HOLD-ENG.INI
DUTCH=G:\BBS\PB\HOLD-DUT.INI
So, according to the language of the user, one of these INI-files will be
used. If you don't add these entries to the INI-file, MB-HOLD.PEX will look
into the MB-HOLD.INI file for the following entries:
1) ANSI
This is the ANSI/AVATAR file which will be displayed.
2) NETMAILAREA
This is the areanumber of your netmailarea in ProCfg. This are my settings:
Name : Netmail Area
Path : C:\NETMAIL
Message Kind : NetMail
Message Type : Private Only
Name Option : Real Names Only
Message Base : Fido *.MSG
3) X1,X2,X3,Y1,Y2
These are column and row coordinates.
X1 = The columnnumber of the Address-field
X2 = The columnnumber of the Destination-field
X3 = The columnnumber of the Message_Kind-field
Y1 = The rownumber of the first line of the holding netmail messages
Y2 = The rownumber of the last line of the holding netmail messages
4) HEADER,FOOTER,TITLE-1,TITLE-2,TITLE-3
These are 5 strings which can be displayed in ANY color you want (see
further!).
5) HEADER-X, HEADER-Y, FOOTER-X, FOOTER-Y, TITLE-Y
These are again the coordinates. Note: only the Y-coordinate of the
TITLE-field can be choosen. The X-coordinates are already specified
by X1 and X2!!
6) CLEARLINE
This is the line (including the color-codes!) which will be used to
clear the screen. Be sure you put enough spaces to clean the whole
line (hint: put a colorcode at the end of the line, so you're sure
there are enough spaces!).
7) COLOR-ADDRESS, COLOR-SEPARATOR, COLOR-DESTINATION, COLOR-STATUS
These are of course the color-codes for the netmail-address, the separators
( : . / ), the destination and the message kind (mail/file).
8) COLOR-ADDRESS-USER,COLOR-SEPARATOR-USER, COLOR-DESTINATION-USER,
COLOR-STATUS-USER
If there is mail waiting for the current user, it can be displayed in an
other color (blinking color eg.)
9) EXCLUDE1, EXCLUDE2, EXCLUDE3, EXCLUDE4, EXCLUDE5
Mail waiting for these names (eg. your own name) will not be displayed
on the What's on Hold screen.
10) DISPLAYTYPE
DISPLAYTYPE=0 -> EVERY waiting netmail will be displayed (except n°9)
DISPLAYTYPE=1 -> only ONE entry per 'destination' will be displayed!
In your TOP.PBM you can activate this PEX automaticly by using the <CTRL-A>
hotkey ().
This is an example of the TOP.PBM I use:
