Installing CatList on PCBoard v15
CatList is a full-featured BBS listing door with may options. One
of the most used features is the ability to maintain an updated BBS
list. Users are sent a notice of expiration when their listings have
expired. This is easy to set up in most BBS systems because they
provide a display file that may be sent to a specific user. PCB does
not provide this option. With the new functionality of PCBoard v15 and
the PCBoard Programming Language (PPL), you may finally accomplish this
in PCB. At the present time, CatList creates the notice files using the
User's record number. This may present a problem when the USERS file is
rebuilt or packed but at the present time it is the most feasible way to
incorporate the notification procedure. If you wish to install CatList
and not utilize the notification, just path line 13 to an unused
directory.
Since CatList has a CFG file setting to limit the minimum access
that may enter a listing, you may decide to allow only 1 sec level to
access the door.
Create a directory in your "\PCB" directory named "\PCB\CLIST" and
copy the CLIST.PPE file into it. Edit the CATLIST.CFG file and enter
the correct path in Line#13 to this directory. All the Notice files
will be created in this directory.
You will need to edit the Login Security File and add the proper
line. This file carries the name of the specific security level you
wish to receive a notice of expiration. Enter the following line in the
## file.
!C:\PCB\CLIST\CLIST.PPE
Make sure the "!" is in the first column. For instance, let's say
your Visiting Sysops have a security level of 100. You would create a
file name "100" and place it in your \PCB\GEN directory or wherever you
place your display files. If you already have a SEC file with this
name, just add this line to it. When "Joe Filesucker SysOp" calls, PCB
will branch off and run the CLIST.PPE program. If there is a file in
the "\PCB\CLIST" directory for "Joe", it will be displayed to him and then
deleted from that directory.
REGISTERED SYSOPS: CatList will create a separate color file that
may be used as a GOODBYE/LOGOFF screen. I
utilize the LOGOFF SCRIPT QUESTION display
file for this. Just enter the name of the
display file on this line and enter the
correct path and name on line #15 of the CFG
file.
CatList creates all of the PCBoard color files using the PCB color
codes.
