QWK-BLT version 1.30
Dec 16, 1993
Copyright 1993, James Dean Jones
Adds ability to scan new bulletins from the main board using the
internal QWK routines of PCBoard 15.0. I had users who preferred the
speed of the internal routines to the time necessary to exit PCBoard and
run a mail door. The scanning routines here are NOT as quick as those
in a mail door but you don't have to leave PCBoard to get them.
The author accepts no responsibility for any problems which may occur as
the result of using this software.
Source code is included. If you modify it, please keep the original
copyright notice. If you want improve it or document it, please upload
it to Salt Air so the others can benefit.
If you need to get ahold of me for some reason, call me on my BBS.

If you find the program useful, let me know. If you need something
added, let me know quick, Summer semester starts June 7, and I will be
too busy teaching to make major changes for a couple of months.
How to install:
Copy QWK-BLT.PPE file into a subdirectory.
In PCBSETUP ...
Add the following line to your CMD.LST file.
Command Security PPE/MNU File -or- Keystroke Replacement
══════════════ ════════ ═══════════════════════════════════════
QWK 0 C:\PCB\PPE\QWK-BLT.PPE
^^^^^^^^^^^
subdirectory where you put QWK-BLT.PPE
Modify the PCBQWK.BAT to zip %3*.* on the compress line.
Example:
@echo off
if %1==COMPRESS pkzip -ex -m %2 %3*.*
if %1==EXTRACT pkunzip -o %2 %3
If you wish to use a file which specifies which bulletins to scan, then
you need to create a file called QWK-BLT.CFG. You can rename the .PPE
file if you wish, just make sure you rename the .CFG also. If omitted,
all bulletins will be scanned.
This file contains one (1) line with either a "Y" for "Yes, scan this
bulletin" or anything else for "No, don't scan this bulletin". Note,
the "Y" must be in upper case.
Example:
YYYYNNNNNNYYYYYNNNNNYYYYNNNNNNYYYYYYYYYYYYY << Must be first line
1234567890123456789012345678901234567890123 << Anything else is ignored
If you have bulletins at the end which you don't want scanned, you may
not put anything in that position in the file to speed things up. If
the configuration file is there #AND# there are more bulletins than
characters in the first line, then the scanning will stop when the
characters run out.
Restart PCBoard.
To Use:
Type: QWK B D instead of QWK D
Easy enough, huh?
History:
1.30 12/16/93 10:12
Fixed bug where optional command line parameters were being passed
to the internal routines, but without a semi-colon or space between
them.
Thanks, Rob Kirkey
Recompiled with version 2.0 of PPLC.
1.20 05/26/93 23:50
Sped up scanning by allowing the seek command to only check those
bulletins which were marked for scanning.
1.10 05/25/93 01:30
Added capability to handle configuration file for faster scanning.
Added to docs the need to modify the PCBQWK.BAT file which was
omitted during the first release.
1.00 05/24/93 23:30
