  4. ; This program replaces the standard PCBoard J command

  5. ; (Join a conference) menu. It generates a JOIN menu on

  6. ; the fly for the user.

  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 and

  14. ; presents the list of valid conferences to the user along with

  15. ; 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. ; Basic form of operation:

  21. ; - Generates a menu based on the access rights of the user. This

  22. ; takes a more time for the users to get a screen but they only

  23. ; see those conferences that they have access rights to.

  24. ;

  25. ; Basic process:

  26. ; -if parm sent then retokenize, stuff keyboard and exit..

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

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

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

  30. ; (33*Conference #+1) if it is NOT blank

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

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

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

  34. ;

  35. ; Installation:

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

  37. ; Example:

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