  4. ; This program replaces the standard PCBoard J command

  5. ; (Join a conference) menu. It presents and/or builds the

  6. ; JOIN menu display file.

  7. ;

  8. ; A problem with any board is upkeep, i.e. conferences change,

  9. ; and new additions are made. Wouldn't it be nice if the system

  10. ; just presented the user with the current list...no menu updates,

  11. ; it would just use the data in the conference setup files!

  12. ;

  13. ; That is exactly what this PPE does. It reads the cnames file

  14. ; and presents the list of valid conferences to the

  15. ; user along with the public/private status of the conference.

  16. ; Since it uses the cnames file, you MUST do a normal save when

  17. ; adding or blanking out a conference. Remember, cnames only gets

  18. ; updated with normal save.

  19. ;

  20. ; It has two basic forms of operation:

  21. ; - if the parm "Build Menu" is sent, or the cmnu file does not exists,

  22. ; it generates the cmnu file from cnames.

  23. ; - if NO parms are sent to it (ie nothing is tokenized) and the CMNU

  24. ; file exists, it just displays it. This of course displays much

  25. ; faster and allows easy modification. You can also regenerate

  26. ; anytime just by deleting it or using the "Build Menu" parm.

  27. ;

  28. ; Basic process:

  29. ; -if parm sent but NOT "Build Menu" then retokenize, stuff keyboard

  30. ; and exit..

  31. ; -if CMNU does NOT exists or parm "Build Menu" sent:

  32. ; -get the number of conferences on the board (line 108 of PCBoard.dat)

  33. ; -get the location of the cnames file (line 31 of PCBoard.dat)

  34. ; -read in the first line of each conference in cnames

  35. ; (33*Conference #+1) if it is NOT blank

  36. ; -loop thru the file writing out the data to the CMNU file

  37. ; -display the conference data for the user, x lines per screen

  38. ; (be sure to let the user pick a conference between screens)

  39. ;

  40. ; Installation:

  41. ; -install by adding to the CMD.LST file using PCBSetup.

  42. ; Example:

  43. ; Command Security PPE/MNU File -or- Keystroke Replacement
