PEGANODE HAS BECOME VERY POPULAR, AND IS CURRENTLY IN USE THROUGHOUT
THE WORLD! THIS UPDATE REFLECTS SOME OF THE WISH LIST SUGGESTIONS I
HAVE RECEIVED.
| INDICATES CHANGES IN THIS VERSION
OVERVIEW
════════
PEGANODE NODE ACTIVITY ANALYZER/REPORTER is a PPE replacement for
the WHO command. It enhances the information provided to anyone
using the WHO command to include much more information, such as:
Name and time of a file download
If a users is entering a message
If a users is answering a script
Reports on pages to the SysOp & SysOp chats
Inter node chatting
| ACTUAL TIME REMAINING ON EACH NODE, EVEN IT CALLER IS
| OUT OF CODE IN A DOOR OR DOWNLOAD A BATCH!!!!
...and much more.
There are two versions provided in this archive:
PEGAND2.PPE <------- Used for one-time Who display
PEGANDC2.PPE <------- Used for continuous updates of the
WHO screen until the <Q> key is
pressed.
PEGAND2.PPE
PEGAND2.PPE will provide a report of the activity on all nodes
active and inactive, and display this screen with the
current information each time the WHO command is typed.
PEGANDC2.PPE
PEGANDC2.PPE will provide the same report as PEGAND2.PPE,
however it will update the information on the screen
continuously until the <Q> key is pressed. It operates
much like PCBMONI, in give continuous updates.
| Version 2.0 will now include a field for the time the user has
| left online. This will allow users to see how long the other
| nodes are going to be tied up. In order to do this PEGANODE
| creates very small temporary files, which are made and read on
| the fly, so there is no degradation in performance.
SETUP
═════
| Version 2.0 REQUIRES the you create a directory called PEGANODE
| on THE SAME DRIVE AS YOUR PCB DIRECTORY.
|
| IF YOU DO NOT FOLLOW THIS STEP THE PROGRAM WILL NOT RUN
|
|
| 1. Create a directory called PEGANODE
|
| MD C:\PEGANODE
|
| 2. UNZIP the ENTIRE contents of the archive into this directory
| You should find the following files:
|
|
| PEGANODE.DOC <= This File
| PEGAND2.PPE <= Main PPE for single screen
| PEGANDC2.PPE <= Main PPE for continuous updates
| 178_179.PPE <
| 196.PPE < = PCBTEXT command line updates
| 197_612.PPE < = <Explained Later>
| 396.PPE <
| HISTORY. < = Release/Revision History
| INSTALL.EXE < = Installation Utility
|
| 3. RUN the install program with the following command line:
|
| INSTALL <PCBTEXT PATH>
|
| Where PCBTEXT PATH is the full location of your PCBTEXT files
| it *MUST* have the trailing slash and should look something
| like this:
|
| INSTALL C:\PCB\GEN\ <===NOTE TRAILING SLASH!
|
| The utility MKPCBTXT.EXE, that came with your PCBOARD must
| be in your path.
|
| The install utility will update ALL of the PCBTEXT files in
| the specified path, without regard to extension. If you
| choose you may skip the automatic installation and perform
| the installation manually. If you wish to do it manually,
| then you must replace the following lines in your PCBTEXT
| file<s>:
|
| PCBTEXT LINE # NEW INFORMATION
| 178 !\PEGANODE\178_179.PPE
| 179 !\PEGANODE\178_179.PPE
| 196 !\PEGANODE\196.PPE
| 197 !\PEGANODE\197_612.PPE
| 396 !\PEGANODE\396.PPE
| 612 !\PEGANODE\197_612.PPE
|
IMPORTANT!!!!!>>>> THESE REPLACEMENT LINES WILL NOT ALTER THE PCBTEXT
| > DEFAULT DISPLAY FOR THE CORRESPONDING LINE. HARDCODED
| > INTO PEGANODE IS THE EXACT LINE, INCLUDING PCBOARD'S
| > DEFAULT COLOR FOR THAT LINE.
| > THIS STEP IS CRUCIAL!!!!
| > IF YOU DO NOT REPLACE THE ABOVE LINES, PEGANODE WILL
| > REPORT FALSE "TIME REMAINING", AND MAY NOT REPORT
| > ANY TIME AT ALL! IF YOU CHOOSE NOT TO REPLACE THESE
| > LINES, PLEASE CALL THE PEGASUS PROJECT AND DOWNLOAD
| > PEGANOD1.ZIP, WHICH IS THE OLDER VERSION WITHOUT A
IMPORTANT!!!!!>>>> "TIME REMAINING" FIELD.
4. Goto Node 1 and run PCBSETUP
Choose:
B File Locations | B Configuration Files
Choose:
Name/Loc of Default CMD.LST file
PRESS F2 to edit your CMD.LST
ADD:
Command Security PPE/MNU File -or- Keystroke Replacement
═══════ ════════ ═══════════════════════════════════════
WHO 0 C:\PEGANODE\PEGAND2.PPE
WHOC 0 C:\PEGANODE\PEGANDC2.PPE
As you can see, I give my users the option of which version of
PEGANODE thy wish to use, however, you can assign a security level
to the PEGANDC2.PPE to permit only certain security levels to
access the continuous display version.
If you are currently using more than one CMD.LST file, make sure
you update each one with the above information.
5. Using PCBEDIT or some other editor, edit you BRDM & BRDMG files
to add the new command WHOC. Example:
[WHOC] Who's On - Continuous Update
THAT'S IT! YOU HAVE NOW INSTALLED PEGANODE!
