===============================================================================
Now for the hard stuff:
I don't like to spend alot of time reading DOCS, much less writing them
so I will be as quick and painless as I can for both of our sakes.
Its realy very easy.
===============================================================================
INSTALATION:
1. Put all the files in the same directory as your nodelist.
2. Run PCBSetup
3. Select "(M)" Conferences" then select your Netmail Conference.
4. Hit Page Down and go to the field that reads "Conf-Specific CMD.LST File".
Type the full path and file name of the CMD.LST
For example mine reads "C:\PCB\FIDO\CMD.LST"
5. Press F2 to edit the file, if you need a blank line push "ALT -I"
6. You should see the see somthing like below
CHARGE PER PPE/MENU FILE SPECIFICATION -OR-
COMMAND SEC MINUTE USE KEYSTROKE SUBSTITUTION
========== === =========== ================================
(In mine I have the following information)
FIND 110 0 0 C:\PCB\FIDO\NODELIST\NODESRCH.PPE
Command: is the name or keystroke to start the .PPE I don't reccomend using
the letter "E" because it is the one to enter messages. The way this is
setup you wont have to enter "E" from within the program.
7. Now just exit and save PCBSetup, and restart your BBS to have it take
effect!
8.If you process your nodiff/nodelist manually then skip to step 9, If you
process your nodediff/list using an event then you need to do one thing more!
a. Go to PCB Setup and Hit "E" for Event Setup.
b. Highlight the 2nd field on the screen "Name/Location of EVENT.DAT"
and hit "F2".
NOTE!!! Now you must create an event to auto-update your index files! If
you don't you will get errors after your nodediff/nodelist is processed!
Because the .ndx files the .PPE uses won't match the nodelist!.
c. On this screen you must set the re-index event to run AFTER
your nodediff/nodelist event. SEE the example below....
Batch Begin End Last
Act OS/2 Mod File Time Time SMTWTFS Date Date
========================================================================
1) Y N S RUNDIFF 01:00 02:00 NYNNNNN 11-04-96
2) Y N S NODENDX 02:01 02:30 NYNNNNN 11-04-96
Item 1 runs my nodediff event
item 2 runs the re-index event
d. At the "Batch File" field you can name it any thing you want.
Then hit"F2". This will bring up the editor.
e. Here is where you tell it to run the .PPE that runs thr re-index
operation. Just type the following:
!c:\pcb\fido\nodelist\nodeindx.ppe
| |_________________|
The drive |
The path where you have put the NODESEARCH PPE
(as stated above this must all be in the same Dir as your
Nodelist is!)
f. Just "ESC" your way out, now the event is set up!
9. Edit the .cfg file using any text editor instructions are in the file.
===============================================================================
OPERATION
The first time you run Node Search you must compile the index! You can do
this whenever the nodelist is updated or just do it once, its your choice!
Creating the Index.
a. To do this select your Netmail conference and type the command to start
the .ppe.
b. Type "R" and the indexes will be created (this could take a few minutes
depending on the size of your nodelist).
c. It will return you to the menu when the Index is completed.
Searching the nodelist
a. Type "S" and the search selection menu will appear,choose the method
you would like to use and hit enter
It will then allow you to put in the search data!
b. if the search data is correct but the address is wrong then hit "N"
and it will continue untill it finds the right one or it hits the end of the
nodelist.
c. When it finds the one you want then hit "Y" and it will insert the name
and address in the "TO" field of the message and allow you to continue as
normal.
