This is the password that the user must use when logging onto the
system.

If this is record #1 (the sysop's record) then it is the password
used for logging on from remote.  However, the local password can
be found/changed by using PCBSETUP and editing the sysop data.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
N01/01
EDIT USERS FILE
Security Level

This is the security level given to a user.  This level in and of
itself has no meaning, but rather, it is given meaning by the way
in which you set up your PWRD file, FSEC file and security levels
inside PCBSETUP.

Allowable values range from 0 to 255.

Registration Expiration Date

This field will have no effect on the user's access unless you
have enabled SUBSCRIPTION mode.

With subscription mode turned on, if the current SYSTEM DATE is
beyond the Registration Expiration Date then the user's security
level and conference registration will be adjusted to the values
indicated in the Expired Security Level and Expired Conference
Registration fields.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
N01/01
EDIT USERS FILE
Expired Security Level

This is the Security Level that the user will be if the current

EDIT USERS FILE
Clear Screen Between Messages

When set to 'Y' PCBoard will clear the screen prior to displaying
a message on the screen.  Some users prefer messages to be
displayed in this manner as the display is slightly faster and it
gives the eye a beginning spot to look at for the message header
(i.e., the header is always at the top).
-----------------------------------------------------------------
N01/01
EDIT USERS FILE
Conference User was in at Logoff

This field, combined with the conference Auto Join flag, is used
by PCBoard to determine if a user should automatically skip the
main board area and be logged into a conference at logon time.

This field is normally updated when a caller logs off so that if
the conference he was in is set for "Auto Rejoin" he will be
automatically returned to where he left off.  You may, however,
change the value to place the caller into a specific conference
of your own choosing.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
N01/01
EDIT USERS FILE
Delete User Flag

Setting this flag to 'Y' is how you tell either PCBSM or PCBPACK
that they should remove the user from the system when packing the
users file.

NOTE:  The status of this flag has no effect on the ability of a
user to sign onto the system.  To keep the user from signing onto
the system you should either PACK the users file after answering
'Y' to this question or you should also set the Security Level to
0 to 'lock' the user out.

EDIT USERS FILE
Comment 2 / Sysop Comment

This comment field is reserved exclusively for the sysop.  No one

EDIT USERS FILE
Date of Last DIR Listing

This is a date that is set by PCBoard to remember the last time
that a user scanned the DIR listings.  Remembering this date
allows the user to type a command that will scan for all files
that have been posted since the last time he scanned for files.

NOTE:  The actual usage of this date is based on the fact that
only the most recently found DATE is stored.  In other words,
if today is June 1st, 1990 but the most recently found file is
dated May 1st, 1990 then 05/01/90 will be stored in the field.
-----------------------------------------------------------------

EDIT USERS FILE
Last Date On

When PCBoard is set to "enforce the daily time limit" it uses the
Last Date On and Elapsed Time On fields to ensure that multiple
calls into the system during the day use no more time than is
allowed by the sysop.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
N01/01

This field serves more as a reminder to the user of when his last
time on was.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
N01/01
EDIT USERS FILE
Elapsed Time On

When PCBoard is set to "enforce the daily time limit" it uses the
Last Date On and Elapsed Time On fields to ensure that multiple
calls into the system during the day use no more time than is
allowed by the sysop.

NOTE:  PCBoard does not scan the USERS file at midnight to reset
everyone's time.  Instead, the Elapsed Time On field remains
unchanged until the caller logs in the next day.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
N01/01
EDIT USERS FILE
Number of Times on the System

This field when combined with the Last Date On field can help the
sysop determine how active the user is on the system.

Other measurements of activity include the Number of Files that
have been Uploaded or Downloaded by the user.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
N01/01
EDIT USERS FILE
Number of Files Uploaded

This field keeps a record of the number of FILES that have been
uploaded to the system by the user.

It can be used to gauge the kind of activity the user is involved
in when on the system and can even be used by PCBSM to determine
when to upgrade or downgrade a user's security level.
-----------------------------------------------------------------

EDIT USERS FILE
Number of Files Downloaded

This field keeps a record of the number of FILES that have been
downloaded from the system by the user.

It can be used to gauge the kind of activity the user is involved

when to upgrade or downgrade a user's security level.

EDIT USERS FILE
Number of Bytes Downloaded Today

This field keeps track of the number of BYTES that have been
downloading in one day to allow the enforcement of the daily byte
download limit in the PWRD file.

NOTE:  PCBoard also uses this field to store "Daily Credits" when
a user uploads a file.  For this reason, the value in this field
may not reflect the actual number of bytes downloaded for the day
and, in fact, the value could be negative if more upload credits
than download bytes have been posted.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
N01/01
EDIT USERS FILE
Total Number of Bytes Uploaded

This field keeps a record of the number of BYTES that have been
uploaded to the system by the user.

It can be used to gauge the kind of activity the user is involved
in when on the system and can even be used by PCBSM to determine
when to upgrade or downgrade a user's security level.  Also,
PCBoard's Byte Ratio setup (in the PWRD file) uses this
information to allow or deny further downloads.

Number of Messages Read

This is the total number of messages that the caller has read.

It should be noted that if a caller reads the same message over
and over a number of times - each time the message is read it
counts towards another message being read.  Therefore it should
not be assumed that this value is 100% accurate.

NOTE:  Creating a new USERS.INF file zeroes this value.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
N01/01
EDIT USERS FILE
Number of Messages Written

This is the total number of messages that the caller has written.

It should be noted that if he writes a message and saves it and
then subsequently deletes the message it is still counted as

Set Editor Default

You may set the default editor to the Full Screen Editor, the
Line Editor or to have it ask the user which he prefers prior to
going into the editor as follows:

  Y = Default to using the Full Screen Editor
  N = Default to using the Line Editor
  A = Ask user if he wants to use the Full Screen Editor with a
      default of 'Y' if he is in EXPERT MODE and ANSI has been

79-Column Editor

There are two widths available for the editor (Full Screen or
Line Editor), they are:  72 columns and 79 columns.

NOTE:  The reason an 80-column editor is not provided is that the
ability to position the cursor at the edge of the screen without
wrapping to the next line is dependent on the COMM program in
use.  As such, an 80-column editor would not work for all users.

     'Y'         'Y'     Clear screen in between each message.
                         The message header always starts at top.

The Full Address PSA allows the system to keep track of the
complete mailing address for each user including two lines for
the street address, and separate lines each for city, state, zip
code and country.

EDIT USERS FILE
Previous Passwords

These fields keep a history of previous passwords used by the
caller.  This information is used to prevent the caller from
picking the same password twice in a row.

NOTE:  If the caller changes the password more than once on the
same day, it does NOT record the changes in the Previous Password
fields.  The reason for this is so that the caller cannot simply
perform "repeated" password changes in order to flush the
password history.

EDIT USERS FILE
Last Change Date

This is the date that the password was last changed by the user
using the (W)rite User Info command.  This date does NOT reflect
changes that are made through the PCBSM Users File Editor, nor
does it reflect changes made with Sysop Function 7 in PCBoard.

Expiration Date

This is the date on which the current password will expire.  When
this occurs, the next time the caller logs in a new password must
be provided before the user is allowed to complete the login.

NOTE:  PCBoard will display a warning within a specified number
of days prior to the expiration date.  If the user changes the
password before the expiration date, then the date will be reset.

The date chosen is a specified number of days after the last
password change.  This is configurable via PCBSetup.

First Date On

This date can be one of the following:

- The date when the user first called the system as a new user.
- The date the user first called after the Statistics PSA was
  installed.
- The date the user first called after the users.inf file was
  created (or recreated) or after a 'fix' to the user's users.inf

Download Limit Reached

This is a count of the number of times that the caller reached
the download limits specified in the PWRD file.  These limits
include:  the daily download limit, the file and byte limits, and
the file and byte ratios.

In other words, any time the caller tries to download a file but
is denied access to the file due to having reached one of the
above limits, it will count it as another Download Limit Reached.

Adjust Conferences User can Join with Expired Subscription

If the user's subscription has expired then this setting is used
to control whether or not he can join a conference.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
N01/01
ADJUST CONFERENCE REGISTRATIONS
Adjust the User Selected Conferences for Scanning

This is a list of conferences that the user wants to scan when he
issues a "Y A" scan command or an "R A" read command in PCBoard.

This allows the user to scan a "sub-set" of the conferences which
the sysop has given him access to.  Note:  If his preference list
includes a conference that he does not have access to either from
the master conference setup or the expired conferences list then
the user will still be unable to scan or join that conference
regardless of the settings in the User-Scan Preference list.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
N01/01
ADJUST CONFERENCE REGISTRATIONS
Adjust Conferences where User becomes a Sysop when Joining

This entry controls whether or not a user is given temporary
sysop privileges when joining a conference.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
N01/01
ADJUST CONFERENCE REGISTRATIONS
Adjust Conferences where User has Net Status

This entry controls whether or not a user has Net Status in a
given conference.

Net Status allows a user to download QWK packets which can then
by imported into other systems.  It also allows the user to
upload REP packets which Net Status messages.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
N01/01
ADJUST CONFERENCE REGISTRATIONS
Reset user's Last Message Read Pointer in these conferences

If you answer 'Y' to this question then Last Message Read Pointer
in each of the conferences in the range above will be reset to
zero (i.e. as if the user had not read any messages in that area)
-----------------------------------------------------------------
N01/01
ADJUST CONFERENCE REGISTRATIONS
Security Level Ranges

To adjust the conference registrations you need to specify which
users to affect by selecting a range of security levels.  Ex:

Include Users with Security Levels EQUAL TO or GREATER THAN ? 25
Include Users with Security Levels EQUAL TO or LESS THAN    ? 65

This would affect only those users whose security level is
greater than or equal to 25 and less than or equal to 65.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
N01/01
MOVE USERS BETWEEN CONFERENCES
Remove Users from and Add Users to which Conferences

You can move a group of users from out of one conference and into
another by answering the two questions:

Remove users from which Conference?
Add users to which Conference?
-----------------------------------------------------------------
N01/01
MOVE USERS BETWEEN CONFERENCES
Set the "Last Conference In" Flag

If you answer 'Y' to this question then the user's record will be
set up so that if you have turned on the "Auto Rejoin" feature of
PCBoard the user will automatically join this conference at the
time he logs onto the system.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
N01/01
MOVE USERS BETWEEN CONFERENCES
Move the "Last Message Read" pointer to the new conference

If what you have done is to simply move the MSGS file from one
conference to another then the chances are you want your users to
be able to pick up reading their mail right where they left off.

Setting the answer of this question to 'Y' will cause the 'Last
Message Read' pointer to be carried over to the new conference.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
N01/01
MOVE USERS BETWEEN CONFERENCES
Select Range of Users by Security Level

You can affect only a subgroup of your users by specifying both a
high and low security level.  If you enter a single security
level in both (i.e., high = low) then only users of that security
level will be changed.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
F01/04
CHANGE EXPIRATION DATE
Use NORMAL or EXPIRED security level

The adjustment criteria below is based on a security level.  You
can choose to use either the NORMAL or the EXPIRED security level
as the basis for the expiration date changes to be made.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
E02/04
CHANGE EXPIRATION DATE
Security Level Range

Choose a range of security levels as your criteria by giving both
a high and a low number or equal if you only want to affect those
users of one specific security level.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
E03/04
CHANGE EXPIRATION DATE
Change Expiration Date to New Date

If you enter any date here except for 01/01/80 then all users
that match the above security level criteria will have their
expiration date changed to the new date you enter here.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
B04/04
CHANGE EXPIRATION DATE
Change Expiration Date to Current Date plus XXXX days

If you enter a number here then the users that match the above
security level criteria will have the number of days you entered
added to their expiration date.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
F01/06
CHANGE ACCOUNT BALANCE
Modification to Starting Balance

Enter the value that you want to ADD TO or REPLACE the starting
balance field in each of the user records found to match the
security level requirements specified on the same screen.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
E02/06
CHANGE ACCOUNT BALANCE
Add Value to Existing Starting Balance

If you answer 'Y' to this question, the value you entered up
above will be ADDED to the existing starting balance.  If you
answer 'N', then it will instead REPLACE the existing starting
balance with the value that you entered.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
E03/06
CHANGE ACCOUNT BALANCE
Zero Accumulator Values

Enter 'Y' if you want to zero out all of the charges and earnings
accumulations at the same time.  Answering 'N' will leave those
values intact.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
E04/06
CHANGE ACCOUNT BALANCE
Set Security Level on Empty Account

If set to 'Y', then the security level specified below will be
applied to the "Security when empty" field in the user records
that are modified.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
E05/06
CHANGE ACCOUNT BALANCE
Adjust Security Range

Enter the high and low security ranges to specify the user
records on which you want to perform this action.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
B06/06
CHANGE ACCOUNT BALANCE
Security on Empty Account

Specify the security level that will be given to users when their
account is zero or below.

NOTE:  You must answer 'Y' to the question above which asks "Set
the Security Level Applied on an Empty Account".
-----------------------------------------------------------------
F01/07
PACK USERS FILE
Remove Users that are Deleted or `LOCKED OUT'

This will remove any users where the Delete Flag is set to 'Y' or
security level is set to 0.

See the criteria options below to override the removal of 'LOCKED
OUT' users while still removing users marked for deletion via the
Delete Flag.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
E02/07
PACK USERS FILE
Remove Users who have not been on for XXXX days

This will remove a user if his last date on is not within a given
number of days.

See below for criteria to override the removal.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
E03/07
PACK USERS FILE
Remove Users who haven't been on since

This checks the 'Last Date On' field and removes users who have
not been on since a specified date.

See below for criteria to override the removal.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
E04/07
PACK USERS FILE
Remove Users whose registration expiration date is older than

This checks the 'Registration Expired Date' and removes those
users whose expiration date is older than a specified date.

See below for criteria to override the removal.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
E05/07
PACK USERS FILE
Keep Users with security level greater than or equal to

This overrides any deletions that would have been made based on
the removal criteria above if the users security level is greater
than or equal to the number input.

The main reason for using this is that you may have certain users
in your users file who you wish to keep disregarding their last
date on or expiration date.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
E06/07
PACK USERS FILE
Keep Users that are `LOCKED OUT'

This overrides any deletions that would have been made based on
the removal criteria above if the users security level is set to
zero (meaning they are LOCKED OUT).

The main reason for using this is that if you lock a user out you
probably want to keep his user record alive so that the user will
not be able to log on.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
B07/07
PACK USERS FILE
Print deleted user records on the printer

This will print the contents of each user's record before it is
deleted so that any user removed can be reinstated later by
reentering the user information.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
N01/01
PRINT USERS
Printout selection

This will print the contents of each user's record on the printer
in either of two formats.  The Long format takes several lines
and prints all information from the users file.  The Short format
is a columnar report and is much easier to read however it only
contains the user name, location, phone numbers and security.

You can select a group of records by defining the start and stop
record numbers.  By combining this feature with the Sort options
available you can print just about any group of records.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
N01/01
PRINT USERS
Print Users whose security is changed

Answering 'Y' will send output to the printer indicating the name
of all users whose security is changed, what it was and what it
was changed to.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
N01/01
DELETE USER RECORD
Delete Record

Answering 'Y' to this question will cause this record to be
flagged for deletion.  In other words the Delete Flag will be set
to 'Y'.  The actual removal of the record will not take place
until you pack the users file.

NOTE:  PCBoard does NOT check the status of the Delete Flag when
a user signs onto the system.  To keep a user from logging on his
security level must be set to 0.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
N01/01
FIND USER NAME
User Name to Find

Enter the name you wish to locate.  There is no need to be overly
concerned about spelling because if the name is misspelled it
will not find a match and it will ask you if you'd like to do
another search for the name this time doing a SOUNDEX search.  In
other words, it will search for names that sound like the one you
typed instead of looking for an exact match.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
N01/01
FIND ASCII STRING
ASCII string to find

Enter a string of characters to search for.  This search will
look through the entire record converting all numeric fields to
string characters first and then scanning the entire record.

This is useful for finding all of the SMITHS or everyone that is
calling from UTAH for example.

NOTE:  If you choose to search through installed PSAs then the
search time will be significantly increased.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
N01/01
RESTORE USERS FILE
Undo - Restore Users File from Backup

Answering 'Y' to this question will cause the computer to erase
the current USERS file and replace it with USERS.BAK and at the
same time it will regenerate all of the users file indexes.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
N01/01
PRINTER DEVICE
File or Device to send printer output to

Valid answers here are:  LPT1:, LPT2:, or any valid DOS filename.

If a filename is used, then all printout output will go to disk
rather than to the printer.

Using the Menus

There are two ways to make a selection on the menus.  One is the
Point & Select method, the other is Letter Selection method.

Point & Select - The up & down arrows move the highlighted bar
accordingly.  [Home] moves you to the top, and [End] moves you to
the bottom.  Once your selection is highlighted, press [return].

Letter Selection- A much quicker method is to press the letter to
the left of the selection desired.  This performs the selection
immediately without moving the bar or pressing the [return] key.

This is the name of the door.  Example:  QMAIL4

Do NOT put a .BAT extension in the filename field.  And do NOT
create a .BAT file on disk.  The name you enter here should not
have an extension nor should the matching file on disk.

The location of the file is determined by your answer to the Path

EDIT DOORS.LST FILE
Password

If a password is entered in this field then the caller must know
the password (or the login password must match) in order to open
this door.  If the field is blank then no password is required.

E03/11
EDIT DOORS.LST FILE
Security

This is the security level required in order for a caller to open
this door.

If you answer 'Y' in the Login column then the security level you
set in this column will determine which users (based on their
security level) will run this door at login.

Setting the security level to 0 makes the Auto Login door apply
to everyone.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
E04/11
EDIT DOORS.LST FILE
Auto Login Doors

As a caller logs on, PCBoard will check the DOORS.LST file for
any Auto Login Doors which are specified by answering 'Y' in this
column.

A user having a security level that matches that which is
specified under the Security Level column will then be sent into
the door automatically as part of the logon process.  A setting
of 0 matches all callers.  Otherwise an exact match on the
security level is required.

   2  =  For DOOR applications that were written to v15.0 specs
   3  =  For DOOR applications that were written to v15.2 specs
   N  =  For DOOR applications that do not require USERS.SYS

PCBoard will create the USERS.SYS file in the current directory
where PCBoard is executing.  Some older DOORs, which do not
update the PCBSTATS.DAT file, can also be helped by setting this
answer to 'Y'.  This allows PCBoard to update the PCBSTATS.DAT.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
E06/11
EDIT DOORS.LST FILE
DOOR.SYS File

Answer 'Y' if the door application requires a DOOR.SYS file to
run.

PCBoard will create the DOOR.SYS file in the current directory
where PCBoard is executing.
-----------------------------------------------------------------

EDIT DOORS.LST FILE
Shell to Door

  Y = Yes, shell out to the DOOR (gives faster return from door)
  S = SWAP PCBoard out during the shell (about 40K remains)
  F = Fast Door (same as Y but do not close files or comm port)
  N = Do not shell, exit PCBoard completely (except in PCB-OS2)

The 'F' option should never be used by DOS doors which need to
access the comm port, but it must be used by OS/2 doors which
need to use the %PCBHANDLE% environment variable to access the
comm port by its handle.  The OS/2 version treats Y, S and N as
if they were all specified as 'Y'.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
E08/11
EDIT DOORS.LST FILE
OS/2

Set to 'Y' only if the door is an OS/2 application.  When set to
'Y', PCB-OS2 will generate and execute a DOOR.CMD file instead of
a DOOR.BAT file.

NOTE:  PCB-OS2 can execute either DOS or OS/2 doors, however, the
PCB-DOS can only execute DOS doors and will ignore any doors that
have a Y in the OS/2 column.

Charge Per Minute

Enter the amount you want to charge for each minute spent online
inside of the door.

PCBoard checks, after returning from DOS, to see which door the
caller was in and charges the per-minute rate for that door.

NOTE:  Some doors do not return back to PCBoard.  These doors
should not be configured for per-minute processing.  Instead,
per-use processing would work better.

Path to DOOR Files

This is the path where the DOOR files are stored.  For example,
you might have C:\PCB\QM4\ and in that subdirectory you might

PCBoard, using the above example, would then look for the door as
C:\PCB\QM4\QMAIL4 and copy it to DOOR.BAT to begin executing the

A value of 0 will make the file "free" as far as the accounting
system is concerned.  A value of 1 would create a charge equal to
the amount specified in the accounting configuration.  A value of
2 would charge double that amount.  A value of -1 would instead
pay the caller for downloading the file.

NOTE: FREE/NOTIME/FREEFILE/FREETIME settings have no effect here.

NOTIME       - Makes a file both "free" and it stops the clock
               (i.e.  the time spent downloading the file will
               not be deducted from the caller's time limit).
FREEFILE     - Synonym for "FREE", makes the file free.
FREETIME     - Stops the clock, but does not make the file free.
FREETIMEFILE - Synonym for "NOTIME", makes the file free and
               stops the clock.

EDIT PROTOCOL FILE
Letter representing protocol

Enter the Letter you want to use to represent the protocol.
Examples:

    A = ASCII          O = 1K-Xmodem        G = Ymodem/G
    X = Xmodem         F = 1K-Xmodem/G      Z = Zmodem
    C = Xmodem/CRC     Y = Ymodem           N = None

Valid protocol selections include A through Z and 0 through 9.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
E02/07
EDIT PROTOCOL FILE
Protocol Type (I/S/D/B)

Enter a letter designating the TYPE of protocol according to the
following:

  I = protocol is implemented INTERNAL to PCBoard
  S = protocol is SHELLED (no batch transfers allowed)
  D = protocol is SHELLED and uses DSZLOG for batch transfers
  B = protocol is SHELLED and bi-directional (uses DSZLOG also)

NOTE: For types D and B there must be a "SET DSZLOG=PCBDSZ.LOG"
statement in the board.bat file to operate correctly.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
E03/07
EDIT PROTOCOL FILE
Block Size

Enter the block size for the protocol type.  Most standard block
sizes are 128 bytes or 1024 bytes.  For example:

    Xmodem      = 128
    Xmodem/CRC  = 128
    1K-Xmodem   = 1024
    1K-Xmodem/G = 1024
    Ymodem      = 1024
    Ymodem/G    = 1024
-----------------------------------------------------------------
E04/07
EDIT PROTOCOL FILE
Requires MNP (Error Corrected Session)

When MNP or v.42 is used by two modems, an "error corrected
session" is established, where errors between the modems are
corrected by the modems before reaching the software.

Answer 'Y' to this question only if the protocol requires an
error corrected session in order to operate correctly.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
E05/07
EDIT PROTOCOL FILE
Leave Port Open During Shell

PCBoard normally shuts down the RTS signal and unhooks itself
from the serial port interrupt prior to executing the external
protocol handler.

Some external protocols may require that the serial port be left
"unchanged" while PCBoard shells out to perform the transfer.  If
this is the case then answer 'Y' to this question.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
E06/07
EDIT PROTOCOL FILE
Lock Status Lines On Screen

The status lines, which PCBoard moves to the top of the screen
during a shelled protocol, may be frozen in place to avoid having
them scrolled off the top of the screen.  This only works with
protocols that are well behaved and display their screen output
by using the DOS or BIOS commands for screen displays.

To lock the status lines at the top of the screen answer 'Y' to
this question.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
B07/07
EDIT PROTOCOL FILE
Protocol Description

Enter a description of the protocol.  For example:

   Xmodem/CRC
   Xmodem Checksum
   1k-Xmodem
   1k-Xmodem/G
   Ymodem       (batch)
   Ymodem/G     (batch)
-----------------------------------------------------------------
F01/17
EDIT PASSWORDS/SECURITY FILE
Password

PCBoard searches for a PASSWORD/SECURITY combination when it
scans this file.

You may assign a password to a security level.  When used with a
password, this will give the appropriate time/bytes/etc to
callers who:  1) have this security level and, 2) use this
password as their logon password.

It is recommended that you leave this field blank unless you have
a specific purpose for using a group password!
-----------------------------------------------------------------
E02/17
EDIT PASSWORDS/SECURITY FILE
Security Level

PCBoard searches for a PASSWORD/SECURITY combination when it
scans this file.

Enter a Security Level here.

PCBoard will search for the security level of the caller when he
logs in and then give him the appropriate time, byte, batch
limits, etc, as defined for this security level.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
E03/17
EDIT PASSWORDS/SECURITY FILE
Time Allowed on System

Enter the amount of time (in minutes) that the caller with the
attached security level should be given.

NOTE:  This figure is always a per-session limit but may also be
a per-day limit if you answer 'Y' to the question "Enforce Time
Limit" (either here in the PWRD file or in the Configuration
Options :  System Control screen).

NOTE:  If you set this value to 0, then when a caller with this
security level attempts to log in, the CLOSED file will be shown.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
E04/17
EDIT PASSWORDS/SECURITY FILE
Maximum Daily Download

Enter the maximum number of K-bytes (1024 bytes) that you want
the caller to be able to download during a single day.

NOTE:  The number 32767 is the maximum allowed.  The number 32767
is a special number to PCBoard which indicates "unlimited
download bytes".
-----------------------------------------------------------------
E05/17
EDIT PASSWORDS/SECURITY FILE
Base Baud Rate

The Maximum Daily Download "K-Byte Limit" may be adjusted
according to the speed of the caller online.  To do this you must
define a "base baud rate" on which to base the adjustment.

For example, if you set a limit of 100K and a base baud rate of
1200 baud then a caller connecting at 2400 baud would get a limit
of 200K.  Reversing the strategy, if you set a limit of 500K and
a base baud of 2400 baud then a 1200 baud caller would get only
250K as his limit.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
E06/17
EDIT PASSWORDS/SECURITY FILE
Batch Limit

Enter the maximum number of files that you want a caller to be
able to download in a single batch.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
E07/17
EDIT PASSWORDS/SECURITY FILE
File Ratio

Enter a number that indicates the maximum Download-to-Upload
FILE ratio that you will allow the caller to attain.

For example, a setting of 9.5 here would allow the caller to
download as many as 9.5 files for every file uploaded.  If the
caller downloaded 95 files and upload 10 then he would be right
at the 9.5 ratio limit.  Attempting to download one more file
would fail with a message indicating that his file ratio had been
reached.

NOTE:  See the File Credit field for more information.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
E08/17
EDIT PASSWORDS/SECURITY FILE
Byte Ratio

Enter a number that indicates the maximum Download-to-Upload
BYTE ratio that you will allow the caller to attain.

For example, a setting of 9.5 here would allow the caller to
download as many as 9.5 bytes for every byte uploaded.  If the
caller downloaded 950,000 bytes and uploaded 100,000 then he
would be right at the 9.5 ratio limit.  Attempting to download
one more byte would fail with a message indicating that his byte
ratio had been reached.

NOTE:  See the Byte Credit field for more information.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
E09/17
EDIT PASSWORDS/SECURITY FILE
File Limit

Enter a number that indicates the maximum number of files that
you will allow the caller to download.

This number excludes any FREE files, which are not counted by
PCBoard, but otherwise is a constant running count of files
downloaded.

Once this limit has been reached, the only way to download more
files is for the download counter to be reset.  The sysop might
use this for a "pay as you go" system.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
E10/17
EDIT PASSWORDS/SECURITY FILE
KByte Limit (1024 bytes)

Enter a number that indicates the maximum number of K bytes (1024
byte blocks) that you will allow the caller to download.

This number excludes any FREE files, which are not counted by
PCBoard, but otherwise is a constant running count of bytes
downloaded.

Once this limit has been reached, the only way to download more
bytes is for the download counter to be reset.  The sysop might
use this for a "pay as you go" system.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
E11/17
EDIT PASSWORDS/SECURITY FILE
File Credit

The File Credit is used as a way of making the File Ratio system
more fair by giving the caller some amount of credit right up
front.

For instance, if the File Credit is set at 10 then the caller may
download 10 files before reaching a 1:1 ratio.  Therefore, he
would be able to download 19 files before a 9.5:1 ratio would
prevent him from downloading the 20th file.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
E12/17
EDIT PASSWORDS/SECURITY FILE
K-Byte Credit

The K-Byte Credit is used as a way of making the Byte Ratio
system more fair by giving the caller some amount of credit right
up front.

For instance, with a Byte Ratio of 10:1 a brand new caller would
be able to download, AT MOST, a single 10-byte file.

To make it more fair, you could give the caller a credit of,
perhaps, 10K, right up front.  Then the caller could download as
much as 100K, on a 10:1 ratio, before being shut down.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
E13/17
EDIT PASSWORDS/SECURITY FILE
Enforce Time Limit

Setting this value to 'N' would disable inter-session tracking of
the caller's online time.

A setting of 'Y' enforces the time limit as a per-day limit.
Thus a setting of 30 would allow the caller to use, at most, 30
minutes per day, while the same 30 minute limit would be a per-
session limit when Enforce Time Limit is set to 'N'.

NOTE:  For Enforce=Y to work, the global Enforce Time Limit under
Configuration Options :  System Control must also be set to 'Y'.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
E14/17
EDIT PASSWORDS/SECURITY FILE
Allow Alias

If you have installed the Alias PSA (via PCBSM) then callers who
have the Allow Alias column set to 'Y' may select an alias.  The
alias they select can then be used inside of those conferences
where the "Allow Aliases to be Used" field is set to 'Y'.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
E15/17
EDIT PASSWORDS/SECURITY FILE
Force Read Mail

When new mail is entered into the system, using PCBoard or any
other software that sets the mail waiting flags, the caller will
be notified, at login, of the new mail waiting.

You can specify by security level, in this file, whether or not
the caller should be forced to read his new mail.

If you answer 'Y' then PCBoard will display the messages in
Read-Only mode, to avoid setting the Last Message Read pointers,
so that the caller can later review them.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
E16/17
EDIT PASSWORDS/SECURITY FILE
Demo Accounts

This setting tells PCBoard to allow users, at this security
level, to log onto multiple nodes simultaneously.

For example, you could have an user-id called DEMO ACCOUNT.
Then, with this setting, you could have multiple users online,
all at the same time, using the name DEMO ACCOUNT, without any of
them getting the "Name already in use on another node" message.

NOTE:  When set to allow multiple logins, PCBoard protects the
(W)rite User Info command and also resets LMR pointers.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
B17/17
EDIT PASSWORDS/SECURITY FILE
Enable Account

Possible values are (Y)es, (N)o, or (T)racking-Only

To utilize the Accounting System built into PCBoard, you must
first install the Account PSA.  Then set up the accounting
options from the Account Configuration menu.  And finally, here
in the PWRD File Editor, put a 'Y' or a 'T' in this column for
each security level that you want to be governed by the
accounting system.  A 'Y' will enable accounting and will
disallow activities which cost more than remains in the caller's
balance.  A 'T' will only track the charges incurred.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
F01/06
EDIT LANGUAGE TABLE
Language Description

This text field should contain two pieces of information:

    1) The number of the language, and
    2) A description of the language.

Example:   1 - English

This allows the caller to pick the language desired by selecting
the number of the language.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
E02/06
EDIT LANGUAGE TABLE
Language Extension

PCBoard allows you to create Language-Specific Files by attaching
a filename extension to each language.

For example, you could set the extension to "FRE" to indicate a
French version of the files.

In this manner, PCBoard would search for PCBTEXT.FRE, BRDM.FRE
and other .FRE files.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
E03/06
EDIT LANGUAGE TABLE
Country Code

Enter a number that corresponds with the Country Code that DOS
uses to identify country settings.

This number is then used, by PCBoard, to ask DOS for country
specific settings such as:  the date format, the thousands
separator, the uppercase table, the sort order, etc.

See the manual for a list of valid country codes.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
E04/06
EDIT LANGUAGE TABLE
Code Page

Enter a number that corresponds with the Code Page that DOS uses
to identify the fonts used for a particular language.

This number is then used, by PCBoard, to ask DOS for the font
information.  If system supports it, PCBoard will then switch the
display font to one that will allow you to view all of the
characters supported by the country which uses this code page.

See the manual for a list of valid code page settings.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
E05/06
EDIT LANGUAGE TABLE
Yes Character

Enter the character that should be used to signify an affirmative
response to a question.

Examples:  'Y' for english, meaning yes
           'O' for french, meaning oui
           'S' for spanish, meaning si
-----------------------------------------------------------------
B06/06
EDIT LANGUAGE TABLE
No Character

Enter the character that should be used to signify a negative
response to a question.

Example:  'N' for english, meaning no

Interestingly enough, although the words are often spelled
differently, the letter 'N' can be used for several languages.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
N01/01
EDIT TCAN FILE
User Trashcan Names

Enter a single name, or a combination name on one line, to
indicate the names that you do not want NEW USERS to be able to
select.

Examples:  FATHER      Would not allow the name FATHER to be used
           KISS MINE   Would not allow the name KISS MINE

NOTE:  Once a caller is registered (in the users file) the TCAN
file is no longer queried.  In this manner, you could
pre-register a caller having a name that is in the TCAN file.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
F01/05
EDIT CMD.LST FILE
Command

This is the command that you want the caller to be able to issue.

For example, if you put the word PAGE in this column, the user
will be able to type PAGE to perform the action that you specify
in the third column of this file.

The command you specify here CAN replace internal commands.

NOTE:  Just like other PCBoard commands, the user can abbreviate
your commands to two or more letters.
Enter the security level that is required to perform the command
that you have specified.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
E02/05
EDIT CMD.LST FILE
Security Level Required

Enter the security level required to execute the command you have
specified.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
E03/05
EDIT CMD.LST FILE
Charge Per Minute

Enter the amount you want to charge for each minute spent using
this command.

NOTE:  The actual amount of time spent is calculated from when
the command is issued until the CMD.LST processor releases
control.  Because of this, keyboard-stuff commands will not work
well for per-minute charges because the command is considered to
be finished almost instantaneously.  The per-use charge would be
better for keyboard-stuff commands.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
E04/05
EDIT CMD.LST FILE
Charge Per Use

Enter the amount you want to charge for each usage of this
command.  Each time the command is issued, PCBoard will charge
the caller the amount specified in this field.

NOTE:  The Accounting PSA must be installed, and the PWRD file
must have Enable Account set to either 'Y' or 'T' for this
setting to have any effect.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
B05/05
EDIT CMD.LST FILE
PPE / MNU / Keystroke Replacement

When a caller activates your command it can execute a PPE file,
an MNU file, or it can simply stuff the keyboard.

PCBoard will check to see if you have specified a valid filename
in this field and, if so, whether it has a .PPE or .MNU
extension.  If one or the other is found, then it will execute
the appropriate file.

If the information does not specify a .PPE or .MNU file then
PCBoard will stuff the keyboard buffer with the information.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
N01/01
EDIT BLT.LST FILE
Enter BLT Paths and Filenames

Enter the name of the BLT file that should be associated with the
the Bulletin Number in the left hand column on the screen.

Example:    1) C:\PCB\GEN\BLT1

NOTE:  You do NOT have to name your bulletins "BLT1", "BLT2" and
so on.  A more appropriate naming convention would be to name the
bulletin according to the topic it covers.  This also simplifies
the process of adding new bulletins since you would not feel
compelled to rename (renumber) the existing bulletins.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
N01/01
EDIT SCRIPT.LST FILE
Enter the Filename for the Script Questionnaire

PCBoard allows for two different types of questionnaires:

1) Straight ASCII text, in the form of questions to be asked.
   Enter a name such as:  C:\PCB\GEN\SCRIPT1

2) The ability to execute a PPE (compiled PPL) program.
   Enter a name such as:  C:\PCB\GEN\SCRIPT1.PPE

The ".PPE" extension on the end tells PCBoard that it should run
the PPE file rather than interpret the file as ASCII text.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
N01/01
EDIT SCRIPT.LST FILE
Enter the Filename for the Answers to the Questionnaire

For regular Script Questionnaires, you must supply a filename
here in order for PCBoard to write the answers out.

For PPE files, a filename entered here will be passed to the PPE
program for output, or, the PPE could utilize a different file
(or files) or none at all.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
N01/01
EDIT DIR.LST FILE
Enter the Filename for the DIR File

A DIR File is nothing more than a straight ASCII text file which
contains a "list" of files that are available for download.

The "list" it contains, generally but not always, is a list of
files that are found in the "Hard Disk Subdirectory" attached (on
1he same line as) the DIR filename entered here.

Example:  DIR File      C:\PCB\DIR\PCBFILES
          Directory     C:\PCB\DL\PCBFILES\
          Description   These are PCBoard related files
-----------------------------------------------------------------

          Description   These are PCBoard related files
-----------------------------------------------------------------
N01/01
EDIT DIR.LST FILE
Enter the Sort Order

This is the sort order which PCBFiler uses whenever it processes
the DIR File.  The sort orders are as follows:

    0 = No sort, maintain existing order
    1 = Sort by Filename, in ascending order
    2 = Sort by Filedate, in ascending order
    3 = Sort by Filename, in descending order
    4 = Sort by Filedate, in descending order
-----------------------------------------------------------------
N01/01
EDIT DIR.LST FILE
Description of Directory Contents

Each DIR File is generally used to categorize the files found on
the BBS.  Enter a description of the files that are found inside
of this DIR file.

Example:  DIR File      C:\PCB\DIR\PCBFILES
          Directory     C:\PCB\DL\PCBFILES\
          Description   These are PCBoard related files

EDIT DLPATH.LST FILE
Enter List of Download Paths

PCBoard will accept two different style entries in this file:

  C:\DL1\                   <---  a subdirectory entry
  %C:\PCB\GEN\FILES.IDX     <---  an index of files

When specifying a subdirectory, PCBoard will search only that
directory (or those directories) specified for files.  It does
not search down into subdirectories off the paths specified.

MAKEIDX is used to create the .IDX files.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
N01/01
EDIT DLPATH.LST FILE
Enter List of Paths to Check Prior to Upload

The purpose of this file is to prevent uploads of files that
already exist on the system.

This is very similar to the DLPATH.LST file.  However, in a setup
where multiple conferences have their own unique download areas,
not shared by other conferences, the ALLFILES.LST file can come
in handy by listing ALL directories used by all conferences.

If ALLFILES.LST is not specified, then the conference-specific
DLPATH.LST is used instead.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
N01/01
SYSOP INFORMATION
Sysop Name

Enter the first name of the sysop.

after it has told the modem to answer the phone.

Note that some modems, such as a US Robotics Dual Standard, have
a long carrier detect sequence as they attempt to discern from
several different types of connections.  In this case you may
need to set an extra high value here in order to give the modem a
chance to establish the connection.  Otherwise, a caller, after

is to be used by PCBoard.

When Comm Driver is set to Async, then the numbers 1 and 2
correspond to COM1 and COM2.  Any numbers higher than that will
require that you supply an IRQ and BASE ADDRESS value to define
the port.

Lock in Opening Baud Rate

Answer 'Y' if you want to lock the PC-to-Modem speed at the speed
indicated in the "Opening Baud Rate" field.

Answering NO will cause PCBoard to auto-baud down to the speed at
which the caller connected at.

NOTE: If you open your modem at 19200 or higher then PCBoard will
ignore your answer to this question and always LOCK the rate.

on the needs of the modem you are using.

NOTE:  Your modem may be listed on the menu of PCBModem which
will supply the proper answers in this field if you allow it to
update your PCBOARD.DAT file after setting up your modem.

Often you will see a short initialization string such as ATM0H0.
In reality, the initialization has been stored in your modem's
EEPROM and the ATM0H0 is just used to restore the modem state.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
B02/02
MODEM SETUP
Modem Initialization String

The second modem initialization string will not be used if it is
left blank.  You should only fill in the second initialization
string if more settings are necessary.  More settings may become
necessary if you are using a FAX-modem where some of the FAX
settings are not stored in the modem's EEPROM.

NOTE:  FIDO dial-out will send only the first initialization
string.  So if putting FAX setup strings in the second field is a
useful way of avoiding setting up the FAX mode when dialing out
for a FIDO connection.

MODEM SETUP
Modem Dialout String

This is the string sent by PCBoard when dialing out for a FIDO
connection.  The default is ATDT and normally the only other
option would be to use ATDP (pulse dialing).  But if your FIDO
connection needs specific modem settings that you don't normally
use for regular BBS operation, you could insert those commands
in between the "AT" and the "DT" portions of the string.

other Fido systems.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
N01/01
MODEM SETUP
Max # of Attempts to Connect

This is the maximum number of times that PCBoard will try to
connect to a system where the connection fails.  For example, if
the modems cannot handshake, then you may be paying for a long
distance call that may never be successful no matter how many
times the call is retried.  The limit you set here helps limit
the chance that you might end up with a large phone bill.

Disable CTS/RTS Checking

Normally you will want to answer 'N' to this question unless your
modem or async card does not support CTS/RTS flow control.

For high speed communications it is essential that you answer 'N'
to this question or risk data loss over the modem.  CTS/RTS flow
control is necessary to guarantee that modem and computer buffers
are not caused to overflow by incoming or outgoing data.

Additionally, your modem must be configured to support CTS/RTS
flow control.

N01/01
MODEM SWITCHES
Disable RTS-Drop During Write

While PCBoard is receiving an upload file it will normally shut
down the RTS signal while it writes to disk to avoid data loss.

MODEM SWITCHES
Reset Modem While Recycle

Answer 'Y' if you want PCBoard to reset the modem every five
minutes while idling at the Call Waiting screen.

NOTE:  In some modems this can help keep the modem from getting
modem reset errors while other modems will instead be more prone
to such errors.  Experiment with this setting if you are getting
modem reset errors during recycles.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
N01/01
MODEM SWITCHES
Reset Modem During Recycle

Answer 'Y' if you want PCBoard to reset the modem after each call
hangs up.

NOTE:  In some modems this can help keep the modem from getting
modem reset errors while other modems will instead be more prone
to such errors.  Experiment with this setting if you are getting
modem reset errors during recycles.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
N01/01
MODEM SWITCHES
Modem Off-Hook During Recycle

Answer 'Y' if you want PCBoard to take the modem off-hook during
a recycle.

NOTE:  In some modems this can help keep the modem from getting
modem reset errors while other modems will instead be more prone
to such errors.  Experiment with this setting if you are getting
errors during recycles.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
N01/01
MODEM SWITCHES
Modem Delay During Recycle

Some modems can get confused if you attempt to recycle the system
too quickly resulting in modem reset errors.

Setting a value of 1 or higher can help slow down the recycle
process and give your modem more time to be reset without
experiencing a modem reset error.

In addition, this value can be used to 'tune' the speed with
which PCBoard recycles.  On buffered modems, a higher setting
will avoid cutting off a long LOGOFF file display.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
N01/01
MODEM SWITCHES
Packet-Switch Network

Answer 'Y' if you are running PCBoard on a Packet-Switch network
or a PAD or any kind of environment where PCBoard is merely
connected to an asynch cable and not directly connected to a
modem.

This keeps PCBoard from trying to initialize the modem.

NOTE:  It is important that the CTS/RTS, RD/SD and CD/DTR signals
be wired properly.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
F01/02
MODEM SWITCHES
Verify CD-Loss

When the Carrier Detect (CD) signal goes out, it generally
indicates that the connection has been broken and that the caller
has disconnected.

However, some modems will drop the CD signal while auto-bauding
(changing baud rates) in search of a more efficient speed.  This
is generally caused by changing line noise conditions.

To avoid detecting CD loss when, in fact, the caller is still
online and the modem is merely auto-bauding, you must answer 'Y'.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
B02/02
MODEM SWITCHES
Verify CD-Loss

This verification process lets PCBoard wait for a moment to see
if the CD signal will come back up and, if it does, PCBoard will
avoid logging the caller off.

In a PAD environment loss of the carrier detect signal never
indicates auto-bauding.  In fact, a PAD will often bring the CD
signal right back up.  To avoid accidentally putting the next
caller into the last caller's session, you should answer 'N' to
this question when in a PAD environment.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
N01/01
MODEM SWITCHES
Leave DTR Up at Drop to DOS

Answering 'Y' will leave the DTR signal on when exiting to DOS
while answering 'N' will cause the signal to be turned off.

NOTE:  If you exit PCBoard with a request to take the modem off-
hook, PCBoard will purposely leave DTR up.  This is done to avoid
a problem where some modems go back on-hook when DTR is dropped.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
N01/01
MODEM SWITCHES
Drop to DOS on Missed Connect

Answering 'Y' will cause PCBoard to exit to DOS with errorlevel 8
if a call was answered but no connection was established.

N01/01
MODEM SWITCHES
Answer on True Ring Detect

Answer 'Y' if you want PCBoard to answer on True Ring Detect.

True Ring Detect is signalled on the UART and through pin 22 of
the serial cable.

For most modems, the proper setting is 'N'.  A setting of 'Y'
could actually cause connection problems.  A setting of 'Y'
should only be selected when using modems which do not return a
verbose 'RING' status to PCBoard when the phone is ringing.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
N01/01
MODEM SWITCHES
Number of Rings Required

This setting allows you to customize the number of times you want
the phone to ring before PCBoard tells the modem to pick it up.

For Caller ID detection to work, you must set this number to at
least 2 since Caller ID is passed between the 1st and 2nd ring.

Another example, you may be in an environment where the phone is
normally used for voice calls but at night you want to be able to
dial into the system.  By setting this value a high number most
voice callers will hang up before PCBoard answers the phone.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
F01/02
MODEM SWITCHES
Monitor Missed Connections

After a Ring Detect, there are four possible outcomes.  They are:

1) The countdown will run to completion without establishing a
   connection (no handshaking, or handshaking failed to complete)
2) A NO CARRIER message will be issued by the modem before the
   connection is ever completed (aborted handshaking sequence)
3) A connection will be established but carrier is lost before
   the caller logs into the system
4) A connection is established and the caller successfully logs
   into the system
-----------------------------------------------------------------
B02/02
MODEM SWITCHES
Monitor Missed Connections

Normally PCBoard only writes successful login information out to
the CALLERS log.  Answering 'Y' to this question will instruct
PCBoard to write one of three lines corresponding to the first
three possible outcomes listed on the previous screen:

1) NO CONNECT / FULL COUNTDOWN
2) NO CONNECT / NO CARRIER
3) Carrier Lost
-----------------------------------------------------------------

MODEM SWITCHES
Force NON-16550A Usage

Some 16550 chips are buggy.  The bug is most often seen when data
output gets "behind" where it should be and only proceeds when
typing more characters.  Example:  If the command prompt is
incomplete, but gradually, one character at a time, becomes more
complete as you type a command, then you likely have one of the
buggy 16550 UARTs.

Setting Force NON-16550A Usage to 'N' will generally make the
problem go away, but you lose access to the FIFO buffers.  A
better solution is to replace the defective chip.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
N01/01
MODEM SWITCHES
Force 16550A Usage

Some multi-tasking environments, such as OS/2 or Windows, use
device drivers to virtualize the comm port.  In the process of
doing so, they may hide the 16550A UART, making it appear to be a
16450 UART when accessed by a DOS application.

Setting the answer to 'Y' tells PCBoard to operate AS IF it had
detected a 16550A chip.  This enables the use of FIFO buffers for
both transmit and receive operations.

NOTE:  If you do not have a 16550 then you must answer 'N'.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
N01/01
MODEM SWITCHES
Share IRQs on MCA Buses

PS/2s and other Micro Channel based machines have the ability to
share interrupts among different hardware devices.  Answering 'Y'
to this question will cause PCBoard to try to share the
interrupt.

This setting will NOT work unless the IRQ is being shared with
software that is loaded BEFORE the multitasker.

NOTE:  Sharing interrupts slows down processing.  Therefore it is
recommended that you only use this option when necessary.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
N01/01
MODEM ACCESS SPEEDS
Allow Callers at 7,E,1

Answer 'Y' if you want PCBoard to allow callers to connect at a
non-standard 7 data bits, even parity and 1 stop bit.

If you do get a 7,E,1 caller, all file transfers will be
disabled for that session.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
N01/01
MODEM ACCESS SPEEDS
Lowest Desired Baud Rate

Enter here the speed of the lowest connection rate that you want
to grant normal access to.

The next three questions allow you to set the system up to allow
lower speed connections but then restrict them to a specific time
of day or night.

The security level specification overrides the lowest connection
rate and time of day settings.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
N01/01
MODEM ACCESS SPEEDS
Allow Lower Speed Connections

If you want to allow lower speed connections than the speed that
was entered in the preceding question then answer 'Y' to this
question.

You must also answer the following two questions appropriately to
define the hours in which lower speed connections can be
established.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
N01/01
MODEM ACCESS SPEEDS
Low Speed Connection Start Time

If you've answered 'Y' to the "Allow Lower Speed Connections"
question then you need to tell PCBoard what time of day it should
begin allowing low speed connections.  That is, connections which
are slower than the lowest desired baud rate.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
N01/01
MODEM ACCESS SPEEDS
Low Speed Connection Stop Time

If you've answered 'Y' to the "Allow Lower Speed Connections"
question then you need to tell PCBoard what time of day it should
stop allowing low speed connections.  That is, when it should
stop allowing connections which are slower than the desired baud
rate.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
N01/01
MODEM ACCESS SPEEDS
Security Level Override

You can set the lowest desired baud rate and have it kick all
callers off whenever their connect rate is slower.

Or, by setting the Security Level Override value to something
greater than zero, you can allow certain callers (those having a
greater than or equal security level) to access the system
regardless of the time of day.

A setting of 0 disables the Security Level Override.
-----------------------------------------------------------------

NODE INFORMATION
Board Name

Enter here the name of your bulletin board system.  This name is
shown to the caller at connect time together with the PCBoard
copyright notice.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
N01/01
NODE INFORMATION
Origin

The format of the information you enter here depends on the
NETMAIL software you are using and the NETMAIL system you are
connecting to.  Contact the netmail software authors and/or your
netmail system administrator for details.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
N01/01
NODE INFORMATION
Parallel Port Number

Enter the number of the parallel port to be used by PCBoard when
sending information to the printer (i.e., enter 1 for LPT1, 2 for
LPT2, or enter 0 for NONE).
-----------------------------------------------------------------
N01/01
NODE INFORMATION
Running a Network / Multitasker System

Answer 'Y' to this question if you are either running your system
on a network or using a multi-tasker...

You will then be required to give a unique node number in the
Node Number question that follows.

NOTE:  Answering 'N' to this question disables any file sharing
or record locking that would normally be performed by PCBoard in
a multi-node environment.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
N01/01
NODE INFORMATION
Node Number on the Network

If you answered 'N' to the "Running a Network" question, then the
answer to this question will be ignored.

Node numbers must be from 1 to the highest number supported by
the software you have purchased.  Numbers higher than that will
default back to 1 by PCBoard.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
N01/01
NODE INFORMATION
Float Node Number

This setting can be used for LOCAL ACCESS nodes (nodes without a
dial-up modem attached) to allow sharing a limited number of
nodes with a larger number of people.

For example, a 10-node system could be set up to serve a company
of 100 people by floating the node numbers.  However, there can
never be more than 10 users online at once.  See the manual for
further details on proper setup of a multinode system with Float
enabled.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
N01/01
NODE INFORMATION
Network Timeout on Errors (20-99 secs)

This is the number of seconds that PCBoard should wait after it
has detected a network timeout before failing the operation.

In other words, it is common for resources on a network to be in
use at the time that another user wants to use the same resource.
This is normal and should be allowed.  You should set this value
depending on the size and speed of your system.  The bigger and
slower the network is, the longer the network timeout delay might
need to be.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
N01/01
NODE INFORMATION
Node Chat Frequency (once every 5-99 secs)

This is the number of seconds that PCBoard should wait in between
each checking of the USERNET.XXX file.  This file is used for
node chat requests, broadcasts, drop to DOS commands, mail
waiting, etc.

The lower the number the less delay there will be after an action
is requested.  However, a low number also increases traffic on
the network and can slow it down.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
N01/01
NODE INFORMATION
Include City Field in WHO Display

When a user types WHO at the command prompt in PCBoard, a display
of the users that are currently logged onto the system is shown.

By answering 'Y' to this question that display will include the
city/location field of each of the users current logged on.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
N01/01
NODE INFORMATION
Show ALIAS Names in WHO Display

For some systems it may not be desirable to display the ALIAS
Names in the WHO display even though aliases are allowed.  For
example, a public BBS with an adult section might allow adult
oriented aliases in the adult conference, but displaying those
names in a public WHO display might not be prudent.

Other systems, which are either not adult oriented or are not
open to the public, may not experience this situation in which
case showing the ALIAS might be preferred.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
N01/01
NODE INFORMATION
Using Slave Cards

Answer 'Y' to this question if you have an ALLOY Slave system and
are running NTNX prior to version 2.0.

Note that this option will slow down access to some files.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
N01/01
EVENT INFORMATION
Is a Timed Event Active

Enter 'Y' if you want to run timed events.  You must also set up
your events by editing the EVENT.DAT file in the next field.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
N01/01
EVENT INFORMATION
Name/Location of EVENT.DAT File

This is the file that holds all of the information pertaining to
each of your events.

NOTE:  This file should be SHARED by all nodes on the system.  A
single EVENT.DAT file will serve the entire system.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
N01/01
EVENT INFORMATION
Location of EVENT Files

These are the files that PCBoard uses to run your events.  Enter
the location where these files are stored.

NOTE:  This location should be SHARED by all nodes on the system.
PCBoard will pick the appropriate node-specific event files (if
any) at the time of the event.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
N01/01
EVENT INFORMATION
Minutes Prior to Suspend All Activity

Enter the number of minutes that PCBoard should suspend all new
activity prior to the running of the Event.  This field is used
primarily to try to synchronize EXPEDITED events that may be
taking place on several computers at the same time.

For example, if you set your event for 2:00am and set this value
to 5 then all of the nodes will attempt to halt operation at 1:55
waiting for 5 minutes before dropping to the Event.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
N01/01
EVENT INFORMATION
Disallow Uploads Prior to an Event

This field is used primarily to try to guarantee that the system
will be able to run an EXPEDITED event at the specified time.

Depending on the value in the next field, answering 'Y' to this
question will cause the system to deny an upload attempt if:

a) next field is 0 and the time has been adjusted for the event
b) next field is non-zero and time is within the range specified
-----------------------------------------------------------------
N01/01
EVENT INFORMATION
Minutes Prior to Disallow Uploads

If you've answered 'Y' to the previous question to Disallow
Uploads prior to an Event, then this field is used to determine
how much 'guard time' should be set up.

If you answer 0, then the user will be denied upload capability
if his time has been adjusted even by 1 minute for an event.

If you answer 10, then within 10 minutes prior to the event the
upload capability will be removed.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
N01/01
EVENT SETUP
Event Active (Act)

You may enter either a 'Y' or an 'N' in this field.  A 'Y'
signifies that the event is active and should be executed as
configured.  If you enter an 'N' then the event will be
considered inactive and will not be run as defined.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
N01/01
EVENT SETUP
OS/2

Put a 'Y' in this column only if the event is an OS/2 event.
When set to 'Y', PCBoard will generate and run an EVENT.CMD file
instead of an EVENT.BAT file.

NOTE:  The PCB-OS2 will run either DOS or OS/2 event types.  But
PCB-DOS will only see DOS events and will ignore any events that
have a Y in the OS/2 column.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
N01/01
EVENT SETUP
Event Mode (Mod)

Event Mode Types:  'E'  Expedited, 'S' Sliding, 'F' Fido, or 'M'
Fido Mail Hour.

Both Expedited and Mail Hour events force callers to log off in
time for the event to run.  Fido Events and Sliding events are
run without affecting a caller's online time.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
N01/01
EVENT SETUP
Event Batch File

Specify the name of the batch file you wish to execute.

NOTE: You are only given 8 characters for the batch filename.

You can create node specific batch files by making creating a
batch file with an extension equal to the node number.  For
example, if you entered a batch file of DAILY, and you wanted
node 5 to execute a different batch file, then you would create a
DAILY.005 file in the EVENT Files directory.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
N01/01
EVENT SETUP
Event Begin Time

This is the earliest time that the event will be run.

The time that you enter in this field must be in 24 hour format
and there must be a colon between the hour and minutes.

For EXPEDITED events, PCBoard will make every effort to see to it
that the event begins right at the Begin Time specified.  Sliding
events, however, are permitted to begin sometime after the Begin
Time and therefore PCBoard will not try to force the caller off.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
N01/01
EVENT SETUP
Event End Time

The End Time is the latest possible time the event should run.

In a sliding event, it is expected that a caller might stay
online past the Begin Time.  However, even in an expedited event
it is possible that operations might have been impeded and caused
the event to be delayed.

The Begin and End values define a period of time in which it is
permissible to run the event.  Outside of that time frame the
event will be considered invalid and will be skipped.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
N01/01
EVENT SETUP
Event Date

This field enables you to specify the dates that PCBoard will run
the event.

For example, if you want the event to run on the first day of
every month, then you would enter a date of 00-01-00.  Entering a
00 signifies a wildcard.  Using the previous example, this means
that it would run for any month, and any year, but only when the
day of the month is equal to 01.  Another example would be to set
the date to 12-25-00.  This means that the event would run every
Christmas day.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
N01/01
EVENT SETUP
Event Days

This setting controls which day, or days, of the week that the
event should be run.

In this field all seven days of the week are listed beginning
with Sunday and ending with Saturday.  Simply enter either a 'Y'
or an 'N' to signify whether you want to run the event on that
day.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
N01/01
EVENT SETUP
Last Event Date

This field contains the date when the event was last run on the
node number that is specified in PCBSetup | Node Configuration.

Not all events run system-wide, therefore, this field only
contains the last date ran for the node you are currently
editing.

Generally you should not change this field except possibly to
cause PCBoard to re-run an event which has already been executed.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
F01/13
FIDO ATTRIBUTES
Fido Verb: Allow-Human-Callers

This verb determines if human callers are allowed during the time
the event is active.  Put a YES in the Parameters field if human,
non-Fido, callers are allowed.  Otherwise, put NO in this field.

NOTE:  The default is to allow Human Callers

Example:     Fido Verb             Parameters
             ÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍ   ÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍ
          1) Allow-Human-Callers   NO
-----------------------------------------------------------------
E02/13
FIDO ATTRIBUTES
Fido Verb: Allow-Route-To

Primarily meant for hub systems, this verb determines which nodes
can route NetMail through you.  By restricting the nodes that can
route mail through you, more control over long distance costs are
realized.  In the Parameter field, enter a list of addresses to
whom you will allow routing privileges.  Wildcards are accepted
and node addresses must be separated with spaces.

If an unauthorized site sends mail to be routed, the NetMail
either stays on your system as HOLD mail or it gets imported into
the NETMAIL area depending on the "Inbound Routing" setting.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
E03/13
FIDO ATTRIBUTES
Fido Verb: Allow-Route-To

(continued from previous page)
NOTE:  The default is to allow all nodes to route mail through
       your site.

The following example illustrates how to allow all nodes in the
1:311 net and one other site to route mail through your system:

           Fido Verb             Parameters
           ÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍ   ÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍ
        1) Allow-Route-To        1:311/* 42:22/100
-----------------------------------------------------------------
E04/13
FIDO ATTRIBUTES
Fido Verb: Poll

When you call another node to send any packets you have and to
check to see if you have any packets waiting, that is known as a
POLL.  With this verb, you can poll one or more sites by listing
the sites (separated with spaces) in the Parameters field.
Wildcard node addresses are not allowed with this verb.  The
following is a sample entry:

           Fido Verb             Parameters
           ÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍ   ÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍ
        1) Poll                  1:311/1 1:311/40
-----------------------------------------------------------------
E05/13
FIDO ATTRIBUTES
Fido Verb: Hold

This verb sets the default packet status to HOLD for all packets
generated while the event is active.  This can be used to hold
all mail during the daytime until the cheaper phone rates arrive
in the evening.  The mail is released using a CRASH event.

Wildcards and multiple node addresses can be entered in the
Parameters field.  Remember, when a packet is on HOLD status, it
can only be picked up if the destination site polls your system.
Therefore when the CRASH event runs and changes all packets to
CRASH status, they go out when the next dial attempt is made.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
E06/13
FIDO ATTRIBUTES
Fido Verb: Hold

(continued from previous page)
A good example is to hold all mail that is not from the 1:311 net
until 10pm at which time you want a CRASH event to run.

           Fido Verb             Parameters
           ÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍ   ÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍ
        1) Hold                  *:*/* EXCLUDE 1:311/*

Notice the use of the EXCLUDE word. This is puts all mail on hold
EXCEPT or EXCLUDING all addresses that begin with 1:311.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
E07/13
FIDO ATTRIBUTES
Fido Verb: Crash

The Crash verb sets the default packet status for all packets
created during the event time.  For example, if 10 NetMail
messages are exported while a CRASH event is active, their status
is CRASH since that is the default packet status.

Most commonly, this verb is used in an event that follows a HOLD
event that just ended.  This way, all packets that have not had
their status overridden are changed to the CRASH status.  This
only occurs if the node is listed in the Parameters Field.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
E08/13
FIDO ATTRIBUTES
Fido Verb: Crash

(continued from previous page)
The nodes listed in the Parameters field can be wildcarded or you
can list multiple node addresses separated by spaces as the
following example shows:

           Fido Verb             Parameters
           ÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍ   ÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍ
        1) Crash                 1:*/*
-----------------------------------------------------------------
E09/13
FIDO ATTRIBUTES
Fido Verb: Crash

(continued from previous page)
This entry makes all non read-only packets in the queue have the
CRASH status, but only if the destination address begins with 1:.

Using the Fido Menu (ALT-F) from the call-waiting screen, the
packet status can be overridden if desired.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
E10/13
FIDO ATTRIBUTES
Fido Verb: Route-To

The Route-To verb determines what mail should be routed and to
which site it will go to.  The first address listed in the
parameters field controls which netmail packets are routed.
Typically this involves a wildcarded address as you rarely route
mail from just one site.  The second address determines the
destination or where the NetMail packets are routed to.  Example:

           Fido Verb             Parameters
           ÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍ   ÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍ
        1) Route-To              *:*/* 1:311/1
-----------------------------------------------------------------
E11/13
FIDO ATTRIBUTES
Fido Verb: Route-To

(continued from previous page)

It is very typical to send NetMail within your net directly, but
route mail to all remaining sites.  This can be done by making
use of the word EXCLUDE in the Parameters section as this example
shows:

           Fido Verb             Parameters
           ÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍ   ÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍ
        1) Route-To              *:*/* 1:311/1 EXCLUDE 1:311/*
-----------------------------------------------------------------
E12/13
FIDO ATTRIBUTES
Fido Verb: FREQ

When you want to request a file from another site, use the FREQ
verb.  If the file is sent, you will find it in the inbound
subdirectory.  The syntax for this verb is as follows:

           Fido Verb             Parameters
           ÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍ   ÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍ
        1) FREQ                  <NODE> <FILENAME> <PASSWORD>

Replace <NODE> with a node address, <FILENAME> with the filename
or magic name, and <PASSWORD> with the password if there is one.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
B13/13
FIDO ATTRIBUTES
Fido Verb: SEND

Using this verb, you can send a file to another node or site.
The filename and node number must be specified.  For this file to
be sent properly, the full path and filename must be specified as
the following example shows:

         Fido Verb             Parameters
         ÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍ   ÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍ

SUBSCRIPTION INFORMATION
Enable Subscription Mode

By answering 'Y' to this question PCBoard will automatically
detect when a user's subscription has run out by checking the
expiration date set in the user record.  When the subscription
expires two things will happen:

1) The 'expired security level' will be used
2) The 'expired conference registrations' will be used

See the manual for a more detailed discussion of the operation of
PCBoard in Subscription Mode.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
N01/01
SUBSCRIPTION INFORMATION
Default Subscription Length in Days

When subscription mode is active, new users are automatically
assigned an expiration date that is in the future the number of
days set up in this field.

The default is 365 days (for 1 year) which is what the length was
automatically set for in past versions of PCBoard.

Setting this value to 0 will default the user's subscription date
to 00-00-00 which is a non-expiring value.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
N01/01
SUBSCRIPTION INFORMATION
Default "Expired" Security Level

New users are assigned a security level when they register.  Both
the regular security level as well as the expired security level
are initially set to the same value.

The "Expired" security level, however, can be set to a different
value by setting the security level in this field to a value that
is different from the new user security level.

N01/01
MESSAGE OPTIONS
Message Capture - Maximum Messages in Capture File

This setting determines the maximum number of messages that can
be captured into the message capture file.

The reason for setting this value to something other than a
maximum number would be to either, limit the length of time it
takes the caller to download a set of messages, or to keep a
message capture from filling up the disk (especially if a ram
disk is specified for the location of temporary files).

NOTE:  This limit also applies to QWK captures.

PCBoard will create when a caller does a message capture.  If the
filename is blank then the "caller number" will be used instead.

NOTE:  If a caller downloads mail more than one time in a session
the system will attempt to avoid overwriting the first
downloading (which would cause him to lose his first download) by
renaming the file.  Below are the methods of naming the file:
-----------------------------------------------------------------
B02/02

File Name    :  The name entered is used the first time he
                downloads and then if the name is 7 characters or
                less the letters 'A', 'B', 'C', etc, will be
                added on each subsequent download.  If the name
                is 8 characters long then the last letter of the
                name will be incremented.

is used for the filename.  (e.g. SALTAIR.QWK and SALTAIR.REP)

NOTE:  If you leave this field blank, then the CAPTURE name will
be used instead.  One of them must NOT be blank.  Also, when
callers download multiple QWK packets per session, the name will
be changed from QWK to QWK0 to QWK1 to QWK2 and so on.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
N01/01
MESSAGE OPTIONS
Stop Clock for Capture File Download

This option allows you to stop the clock during a message capture
download.  If you answer 'Y' to this option then after a caller
finishes downloading his mail he will have as much time left on
the system as he had prior to downloading the message capture.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
N01/01
MESSAGE OPTIONS
Disable Message Scan Prompt

Answer 'Y' if you don't want PCBoard to ask users if they want to
scan for messages as they sign onto the system or as they join
new conferences (that have not yet been scanned).
-----------------------------------------------------------------
N01/01
MESSAGE OPTIONS
Allow ESC Codes in Messages

PCBoard can be set to allow ESC codes.

The main reason why you might want this is to allow a user to put
color into his messages.  Since PCBoard allows @X-codes which are
shorter than escape codes you may not need this capability.

Most sysops enter 'N' to this question since not all of the users
sign onto the system in graphics mode.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
N01/01
MESSAGE OPTIONS
Allow Carbon-Copy Messages

Answering 'Y' to this question will allow a user to use the (SC)
command when saving a message.  This command allows him to save
multiple copies of the message directing each copy to a different
user on the system.

If you enable this feature you may want to counsel your users to
only use it on RECEIVER-PROTECTED mail since there is really no
need to carbon copy a message that is "public" and read by all.

SEE ALSO:  Carbon List settings on a per-conference basis.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
N01/01
MESSAGE OPTIONS
Validate TO: Name in Messages

By answering 'Y' to this question PCBoard will automatically
validate the name entered at the "TO:" prompt when a user enters
a message.  That is, PCBoard will check to see that the name
entered matches the name of a user on the system and that the
user has access to the conference in which the message is being
entered.

If not, then the caller is informed that the name entered does
not exist and is allowed to reenter it.  NOTE:  Messages left in
an ECHOED conference are not validated regardless of this switch.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
N01/01
MESSAGE OPTIONS
Force COMMENTS-to-the-Sysop into Main

This setting forces all messages, that are entered via the
(C)omment command, into the Main Board area of the BBS.

This can be useful when a large number of conferences are
available on the system and the sysop does not monitor all of the
conferences.  However, with PCBoard's ability to scan for new
mail on login, this setting is not as necessary as it used to be.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
N01/01
MESSAGE OPTIONS
Double-Byte Characters (Foreign Systems)

PCBoard supports DBCS by changing line delimiters in the message
base to be compatible with foreign systems.

If you enable this feature you will be able to use DBCS
characters in your messages, HOWEVER, it is important to realize
that the format of messages stored in this format are NOT
compatible with systems that do not have DBCS enabled.

Do not enable DBCS unless you need it.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
N01/01
MESSAGE OPTIONS
Create MSGS File if Missing

PCBoard will normally automatically create a new MSGS file upon
joining a conference that does not have a MSGS file.

However, on high traffic systems (many nodes and slow networks or
servers) it may be preferable to avoid this overhead.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
F01/02
MESSAGE OPTIONS
Default to (Q)uick on Personal Mail Scan

There are two formats that can be used for scanning for personal
mail - the LONG and QUICK formats - which can be selected by the
caller by typing "L" or "Q" respectively.

You can set your system up to default to the QUICK format which
displays only the number of messages found and the number that
are to you for each conference on a single line by answering 'Y'
to this question.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
B02/02
MESSAGE OPTIONS
Default to (Q)uick on Personal Mail Scan

Answering 'N' results in a longer format that displays individual
message numbers for each message found that is either to you or
from you.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
N01/01
MESSAGE OPTIONS
Default to Scan ALL Selected Conferences at Login

When you first log into the system PCBoard asks you if you want
to scan for messages.  The default is normally to scan only the
current conference.  Answering 'Y' to this question causes
PCBoard to scan all of the conferences that the user has selected
for any new mail.

When defaulting to the Quick Scan format it is often preferable
to also set the system to scan all conferences and vice versa.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
N01/01
MESSAGE OPTIONS
Prompt to Read Mail when Mail Waiting

When a new message has been left for a caller, that caller will
be informed of the new message with a pop-up message that
indicates which conferences have new mail.

If this setting is enabled, PCBoard will prompt the caller to
read the new mail immediately after displaying the pop-up
message indicating that mail is waiting.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
N01/01
FILE TRANSFER OPTIONS
Disallow BATCH Uploads

Normally you will want to encourage uploads to your system any
way possible, and disabling batch uploads can hinder rather than
promote uploads.

However, for systems that accept uploads from foreign computing
environments, such as a Macintosh, where the file naming
conventions do not translate straight across to the DOS
environment, it can sometimes be necessary to disallow batch
uploads.  This avoids the problem that occurs when the batch
protocol tries to convert the filenames straight across.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
N01/01
FILE TRANSFER OPTIONS
Promote to Batch Transfers

With this setting enabled, the (U)pload and (D)ownload commands
are automatically be promoted to the UB (upload batch) command if
the caller has selected a batch protocol.

Disabling this setting causes the (U)pload & (D)ownload commands
to always prompt for files one at a time.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
N01/01
FILE TRANSFER OPTIONS
Upload Credit for Time

The default is 1.0 which means that by default PCBoard will "stop
the clock" during an upload.  That is, for every minute a caller
spends uploading, 1 minute of credit will be posted on the clock.
Effectively, the caller will have the same amount of time left
after the upload terminates as when the upload began.

Setting this value to something higher, such as 2.5, will provide
the caller with greater incentives to upload files by rewarding
the caller with time which might then be used for downloading
large files which otherwise could not be downloaded.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
N01/01
FILE TRANSFER OPTIONS
Upload Credit for Bytes

This value defines the number of credits given to the caller for
each byte uploaded.  The default is 0 giving no credits at all.
A setting of 1 would give the caller a 1 byte credit for every
byte uploaded.

The upload byte credit is a credit against the daily download
byte limit.  Therefore, the credits must be used on the same day
in which they are posted or they will be lost.

NOTE:  No credits are given for aborted uploads.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
N01/01
FILE TRANSFER OPTIONS
Include "Uploaded By" in Desc

When a user uploads a file you can set the system up to record
his name at the bottom of the file description to indicate who
has uploaded the file.

Answering 'Y' will create entries such as this in your file:

TESTFILE.ZIP     9472  01-01-90  This is a test file
                               | Uploaded by: John Doe
-----------------------------------------------------------------
N01/01
FILE TRANSFER OPTIONS
Verify Files Uploaded

After a file is uploaded you can have PCBoard shell out to a
batch file called PCBTEST.BAT to perform a CRC check or perhaps
a virus scan prior to posting the file into the directory.

Answering 'Y' will cause the test to take place after the
upload is finished.

NOTE:  In the case of a batch upload, the testing does not take
place until all files have been received.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
N01/01
FILE TRANSFER OPTIONS
Disable Drive Size Check

PCBoard normally checks the size of the hard disk and the amount
of free space left before allowing an upload to take place.  If
your system does not properly support this checking of the free
space, or if you simply don't want the information shown to your
callers, then answer 'Y' to this question.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
N01/01
FILE TRANSFER OPTIONS
Upload Buffer Size (4-64)

Enter the size of the upload buffer.  This setting can affect the
performance of your system during uploads.  You should experiment
with different values for your own system to see what works best.

It is recommended that you set this value to a multiple of the
cluster size of your hard drive.  For instance, if you have a
hard drive partition that is greater than 256M but less than 512M
then your cluster size is 8K.  A setting of 8 then should be the
minimum used.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
N01/01
FILE TRANSFER OPTIONS
List of Slow Drive Letters

If you have a CD-ROM, or a carousel (multi-disk) CD-ROM, then it
may be beneficial to copy files that are to be transferred off
the slow drive down to a local hard drive or ram drive.  NOTE:
The file will not be copied if there is insufficient disk space.

You can indicate for which drives this copying step should be
performed by typing a list of drive letters.  Two examples:

   FGH            Drives F, G and H are separate drives
   FGH I-N        Drives I through N are one CD-ROM carousel
-----------------------------------------------------------------
N01/01
FILE TRANSFER OPTIONS
Slow Drive Batch File

If a file has been copied off from a slow drive, PCBoard can
optionally perform some additional processing on the file.  This
could be used to set the COMMENT in a ZIP file or to prescan the
file, etc.

For this to occur you must specify the name of the batch file
that is to be run after the file copy procedure is finished.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
N01/01
FILE TRANSFER OPTIONS
Stop Uploads when Free Space

The value entered here is multiplied by 1024 to determine the
number of bytes that should be free on your UPLOAD drive before
allowing an upload to occur.  For example, if you enter 100 here
then you will need to have 100K of free disk space or PCBoard
will not allow the user to upload any files.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
N01/01
SYSTEM CONTROL
Disable NS Logon Feature

PCBoard allows users to skip reading the WELCOME file while they
are logging into the system by typing "Y;Q" or "N;Q" in answer to
the "Do you want graphics" question.

Additionally, they can skip the NEWS file by typing "Y;Q;NS".

However, you can disable the ability to skip the NEWS file by
answering 'Y' to this question.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
N01/01
SYSTEM CONTROL
Disable Password Check (on return from DOS)

If you answer 'N' to this question then PCBoard will prompt the
user for his password (contained in his users file record) upon
returning from an exit to a DOOR application.

Answering 'N' provides an extra layer of safety for systems where
the modem is run in "auto answer" mode.  This mode can cause a
breach in security if a user hangs up and another one calls in
and connects to the modem before the system is recycled back to
the PCBoard Call Waiting screen.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
N01/01
SYSTEM CONTROL
Multi-Lingual Operation

If you answer 'Y' to this question then PCBoard will look for the
PCBML.DAT file when logging a user onto the system.  This file is
used to make various "languages" or alternate prompts and display
files available to callers.

Upon connecting to the system, the caller will be prompted for a
language choice.  Additionally, the caller may use the LANG
command at the command prompt to change the language selection
after the login.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
N01/01
SYSTEM CONTROL
Disable Full Record Updating

PCBoard normally allows a user to change the phone numbers, city,
password and conference scan preference fields in his user record
by using the (W)rite User Info command in PCBoard.

If you answer 'Y' to this question, then he will only be able to
change the password and the conference scan preferences.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
N01/01
SYSTEM CONTROL
Allow Alias Change after Chosen

After a caller has selected an alias it may sometimes not be
desirable to allow the caller to change the alias without sysop
intervention.  Preventing the caller from changing his alias
avoids problems where one caller tries to leave messages (or do
other things) using various names to create confusion.

NOTE:  The Alias PSA must be installed to enabled aliases to be
used.  Also, be aware that PCBoard does not allow two users to
have the same alias or for an alias to duplicate an existing
user-id on the system.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
N01/01
SYSTEM CONTROL
Run System as a Closed Board

Normally PCBoard will allow new callers to call in and log into
the system creating a new user record in your users file as they
log into the system.

If you answer 'Y' to this question then one of two things will
occur:  1) If a NEWASK Script Questionnaire exists then the user
will be allowed onto the system but without creating a user
record, or 2) Otherwise, without a NEWASK file, the caller will
be denied access to the system and logged off immediately.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
N01/01
SYSTEM CONTROL
Enforce Daily Time Limit

There are two related settings.  This setting and another one in
the PWRD file.  When this setting is 'Y' and the PWRD file is
also set to 'Y' then the online time limits are enforced on a PER
DAY basis.

Setting this one to 'N' disables the PWRD setting.  If either are
set to 'N' then the online time limits are considered a SESSION
limit.  That is, the caller might be given only 30 minutes per
session, but if the caller hangs up and calls back, even on the
same day, another full 30 minutes will be granted.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
N01/01
SYSTEM CONTROL
Allow One Name Users

Normally PCBoard requires that two or more names be used (i.e.,
first and last name, or more) when logging into the system.

There are some folks that only have one name (believe it or not)
and some sysops like to run alias systems where real names aren't
used and these sometimes are only a single name.

Answering 'Y' to this question will override the at least two
names requirement.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
N01/01
SYSTEM CONTROL
Allow Password Failure Comment

Answering 'Y' instructs PCBoard to give the caller a chance to
leave a comment to the sysop if he has forgotten his password.

Further modification of the PCBTEXT prompts could even go so far
as to instruct the caller on what to do to request a password
change.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
N01/01
SYSTEM CONTROL
Warning on Logoff Command

Answer 'Y' instructs PCBoard to give a warning message prior to
allowing the caller to simply log off with the "G" command.

Using the BYE command will skip the warning message.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
N01/01
SYSTEM CONTROL
Allow Local SHELL to DOS

Answering 'N' to this question disables the ability to press the
F5 key and allow a local shell to the DOS prompt.

You may wish to do this if you are running PCBoard in an area
where you do not want employees, or other people, to get out to
the DOS prompt to change files, etc.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
N01/01
SYSTEM CONTROL
Use NEWASK+Standard Questions

When a new user calls in, PCBoard will normally ask EITHER the
built-in new user questions, the ones required to set up a user
record in the users file, OR it will ask the questions in the
NEWASK file and not register the user (in the case of a CLOSED
board).

By answering 'Y' to this question you can have it ask the
built-in questions and get the user registered and then follow it
up with the NEWASK questions in case you have additional
information that you would like to be recorded for that user.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
N01/01
SYSTEM CONTROL
Skip Protocol Selection When Registering

When a new user calls in, PCBoard will normally ask the user to
select a protocol as his or her default.  By setting this switch
to 'Y', the question will be skipped and PCBoard will select 'N'
as the default.  This will cause the caller to be asked to select
a protocol on each transfer, or until the caller uses the
(T)ransfer Protocol command to select a default.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
N01/01
SYSTEM CONTROL
Skip Alias Selection When Registering

When a new user calls in, PCBoard will normally ask the user to
select an alias (if the Alias PSA is installed and the user is
allowed to use an alias, per the PWRD file configuration).

By setting this switch to 'Y', the question will be skipped and
PCBoard will assume no alias until the caller, or the sysop,
later defines one.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
N01/01
SYSTEM CONTROL
Read PWRD File on Conference Join

Normally PCBoard does not re-read the PWRD file after the caller
connects to the system.  If, however, you have a security level
increase (or decrease) in a particular conference and you want
PCBoard to pull the appropriate Time, Byte, Batch limits, ratios,
etc, out of the PWRD file then answer 'Y' to this question.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
N01/01
SYSTEM CONTROL
Confirm Caller Name / Address

Answering 'Y' instructs PCBoard to query the caller as to whether
the name and address in the user record matches who the caller
says he is.  This can be useful if the system is accepting a
large number of names where the possibility for two users having
identical names is high.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
N01/01
SYSTEM CONTROL
Auto Register in Public Conferences

When a new user calls in PCBoard automatically registers the
caller in PUBLIC conferences where the security level required to
join is set to 0.  It does this by scanning all existing
conferences and setting the RXS flags (as specified in the
conference settings for each conference) in the user's record.

This process can take a long time if you have a large number of
conferences.  Answering 'N' to this question will disable it.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
N01/01
SYSTEM CONTROL
Encrypt Users File

Answering 'Y' to this system instructs PCBoard and PCBSM to
maintain an encrypted users file.

WARNING!!!  You must first use the ENCRYPT program to encrypt
your existing users file.  You must also ensure that you NEVER
access the users file with PCBoard or PCBSM without the
encryption flag set appropriately.  In other words, check ALL
nodes to ensure that they are all configured identically.

Either all nodes should be 'Y' or all nodes should be 'N'.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
N01/01
CONFIGURATION SWITCHES
Disable 3-minute Screen Clear

Answer 'Y' if you don't want PCBoard to automatically clear the
screen after 3 minutes of inactivity while waiting at the Call
Waiting screen.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
N01/01
CONFIGURATION SWITCHES
Disable Registration Edits

Answer 'Y' if you want to disable the automatic filtering of the
data typed in at the logon prompts.

Normally this is set to 'N' to help avoid line noise during the
logon stage.  However, if you have set your system up for foreign
language users, you may want the users to be able to use accents
or other high order characters in their names, in which case you
should answer 'Y' to this question.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
N01/01
CONFIGURATION SWITCHES
Disable High-ASCII Filter

Normally this is set to 'N' to help avoid line noise while logged
onto the system.  However, if you have set your system up for
foreign language users, you may want the users to be able to
enter messages with high order ASCII characters, in which case
you need to answer 'Y' to this question.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
N01/01
CONFIGURATION SWITCHES
Default to Graphics at Login

Answering 'Y' here will set the default answer to the "Do you
want graphics?" question to Y instead of N.

WARNING:  This will result in streams of unintelligible
information being sent to a caller if a caller, without ANSI,
connects and simply presses ENTER at the "Do you want graphics?"
prompt.

NOTE:  Graphics, here, refers to the use of ANSI codes.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
N01/01
CONFIGURATION SWITCHES
Use Non-Graphics Mode Only

Normally PCBoard supports both color and non-graphics modes of
operation allowing the user to choose which he prefers at logon
time.

By answering 'Y' to this question the system will be run in non-
graphics mode only.

NOTE:  Graphics, here, refers to the use of ANSI codes.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
N01/01
CONFIGURATION SWITCHES
Exclude Local Logins from Statistics

Answering 'Y' to this question will prevent PCBoard from counting
local logins, local uploads and downloads, and local messages
from the statistics that are shown on the Call Waiting screen.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
N01/01
CONFIGURATION SWITCHES
Exit to DOS After Each Call

Normally PCBoard recycles after each call simply by closing all
files and restarting itself.

Some systems, however, require that specific events take place at
the end of each call.  You could, for example, scan for any new
messages after each call and packetize them for network mail.

By answering 'Y' to this question PCBoard will drop to DOS after
each call and will not be brought back up again unless you re-run
the BOARD.BAT file.   (NOTE:  see also $$LOGOFF.BAT)
-----------------------------------------------------------------
N01/01
CONFIGURATION SWITCHES
Eliminate Screen Snow in PCB

When PCBoard updates the screen, it does so by writing directly
to the video buffer which can, on some CGA-based systems, cause
snow to appear on the screen while it's being updated.  Your
callers will not see this but it could be distracting to you.

Answering 'Y' here should help eliminate most of the snow at the
cost of a little bit of screen display speed.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
N01/01
CONFIGURATION SWITCHES
Display NEWS only if changed

There are three possible answers here:  Y, N or A.

'Y' tells PCBoard to only display the NEWS file if the date stamp
on the file is more recent than the caller's last logon date.

'N' will show the file to a caller ONCE per day.

'A' will show the file every time the caller joins a conference.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
N01/01
CONFIGURATION SWITCHES
Display User Info at Login

When the caller connects to the system, you can have it display
some statistics such as the date of the caller's last call, the
number of times called, etc.

This is equivalent to having the caller log in and immediately
use the internal (V)iew Stats command.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
N01/01
CONFIGURATION SWITCHES
Force INTRO Display on Conference Join

When the caller joins a conference, the INTRO file is displayed.
The caller can avoid this display by stacking the letter "Q" on
the conference join command (i.e. "J;1;Q" would join conference
#1 and avoid the INTRO display).

Setting this switch to 'Y' forces the INTRO file to be displayed.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
N01/01
CONFIGURATION SWITCHES
Pre-load PCBTEXT File

All of the prompts and other messages that PCBoard displays come
out of the PCBTEXT file.  You can speed up some of PCBoard's
displays by preloading the text.

In addition, this will save some wear on the hard disk by not
having to repeatedly go to the hard disk for that information.

However, in a tight memory situation you may want to enter 'N' to
this question to save some memory.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
N01/01
CONFIGURATION SWITCHES
Pre-load CNAMES File

Whenever a caller joins a conference, or scans for mail in
different conferences, PCBoard must obtain conference information
from the CNAMES.@@@ and CNAMES.ADD files.

You can speed up conference joins and scanning by preloading this
information.  In addition, it will save some wear on the hard
disk by not having to repeatedly access the hard disk.

However, in a tight memory situation you may want to enter 'N' to
this question to save some memory.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
N01/01
CONFIGURATION SWITCHES
Scan for New Bulletins

The default answer here is 'Y', which tells PCBoard to scan for
new bulletins whenever a caller logs in.

Answering 'N' can speed up the login process, especially when
large numbers of bulletins are available, but at the cost of not
informing the caller when bulletins are updated.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
N01/01
CONFIGURATION SWITCHES
Swap Out During Shell

Normally the PCBoard executable, and all of the data it is
currently working on, remains in memory while it is operating.
This information remains in memory even when shelling out to DOS
thereby reducing the amount of free memory by the amount that
PCBoard, and its data, are occupying.

Answering 'Y' to this question will cause PCBoard to swap itself
out of memory (leaving about 25K of memory behind to re-load)
during a shell to DOS operation.  This will generally increase
the amount of free memory by about 200K or more.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
N01/01
CONFIGURATION SWITCHES
Swap Out During $$LOGON/$$LOGOFF

Due to the need to speed up the processing of $$LOGON.BAT and
$$LOGOFF.BAT, PCBoard normally does not swap itself out when
running these batch files - regardless of the previous setting
(Swap Out During Shell).

If you are running software that requires more memory than is
available during a non-swap shell to $$LOGON or $$LOGOFF then you
can increase the amount of free memory by answering 'Y' to this
question.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
N01/01
CONFIGURATION SWITCHES
Create USERS.SYS file for $$LOGON.BAT

In order to keep $$LOGON.BAT processing quick, PCBoard will not
normally take the time required to create a USERS.SYS file since
most $$LOGON.BAT processing will not require it.

If you have an application that needs USERS.SYS while running at
login then answer 'Y' to this question.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
N01/01
CONFIGURATION SWITCHES
Capture GROUP CHAT Session to Disk

Normally PCBoard will not capture the information that is typed
in by callers during Group Chat due to the disk intensive nature
of Group Chat even without capturing the session information.

If you require that a log be kept of the caller's chat sessions
then answer 'Y' to this question.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
N01/01
CONFIGURATION SWITCHES
Allow Handles in GROUP CHAT

PCBoard will allow callers to select a "handle" for use while
chatting in group chat.  The default handle is the caller's first
name, but it can be changed to any name that is not listed in
the TCAN file.

If you answer 'N', this option will disable the caller's ability
to select a handle and will default to using the caller's first
name while in chat.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
N01/01
LOGGING OPTIONS
Log Caller Number to Disk

Answering 'Y' instructs PCBoard to write an entry to the callers
log indicating the "caller number" of the user as he signs onto
the system.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
N01/01
LOGGING OPTIONS
Log Connect String to Disk

Answering 'Y' instructs PCBoard to write an entry to the callers
log duplicating the connection string that the modem gave to
PCBoard when the caller connected.

In addition, the Caller ID information (if any) obtained from the
modem will also be written to disk.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
N01/01

N01/01
LIMITS
Number of minutes to wait for Keyboard Timeout

This is a number, set by you, to determine the number of minutes
of 'keyboard inactivity' that PCBoard should allow before logging
a user off the system.

Entering a 0 will disable the keyboard timer and allow a caller
to stay online without keyboard activity up until his session
limit runs out.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
N01/01
LIMITS
Number of Upload Description Lines

Indicate the maximum number of lines you want your callers to be
able to enter as part of an upload description.

The maximum number of lines that PCBoard supports is 60.

Generally a limit of 8 to 10 is sufficient and, sometimes, more
than would be desirable.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
N01/01
LIMITS
Maximum Number of Lines in the Scrollback Buffer

While logged on locally, PCBoard maintains a scrollback buffer
which you can use to review information that has already scrolled
off the top of the screen.  The scrollback buffer can be viewed
by pressing the ScrollLock key.

The maximum number of lines is about 400 which uses up 64K of
memory.  Setting a lower number will save some memory while a
setting of 0 will disable the scrollback buffer.

A minimum of 30 lines is needed unless you disable it completely.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
N01/01
LIMITS
DOS Environment Size When Shelled Out

When PCBoard shells out to DOS via COMMAND.COM it is possible to
request (of COMMAND.COM) a larger environment size.  The value
you set here will be passed to COMMAND.COM as a command line
parameter such as /E:768 (where 768 would be the value that you
have chosen).

Increasing the environment size may be required if you have a
large number of environment variables.   In general, we do not
recommend a value higher than 1024.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
N01/01
LIMITS
Number of Days Before FORCED Password Change

This setting requires that the Password PSA be installed.

A setting of 0 will disable the automatic renewal of FORCED
password changes and, instead, the only way to force a password
change is to manually edit the user record (via PCBSM) and change
the expiration date on the password.

A setting such as 90 will cause the caller's password to expire
every 90 days.  This will cause PCBoard to automatically require
a new password, for continued access, every 90 days.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
N01/01
LIMITS
Number of Days to Warn Prior to FORCED Change

This setting requires that the Password PSA be installed.

If the user's password is set to expire, either from manually
setting the expiration date, or from the automatic setting caused
by the "Number of Days Before FORCED Password Change", then
PCBoard will give the caller a warning of the upcoming expiration

LIMITS
Minimum Password Length

This setting requires that the Password PSA be installed.

When the Password PSA is installed, PCBoard will automatically
become more selective about how a caller sets the password.  For
instance, it will not allow the caller to set the password to
match his first or last name.  Nor can the password match any
previously used passwords.

In addition, you can specify that the password chosen meet a
minimum length requirement by setting that value here.

Allow Sysop Page Start Time

When the Page Bell is toggled OFF callers cannot page the sysop.

When the Page Bell is toggled ON, this field defines the start
time at which you will begin allowing callers to page the sysop.

For example, you might only be in the office from 8:00 to 5:00 so
setting those hours as the start and stop times will allow
callers to page you only while you are there.
-----------------------------------------------------------------

LIMITS
Allow Sysop Page Stop Time

When the Page Bell is toggled OFF callers cannot page the sysop.

When the Page Bell is toggled ON, this field defines the stop
time at which you will stop allowing callers to page the sysop.

For example, you might only be in the office from 8:00 to 5:00 so
setting those hours as the start and stop times will allow
callers to page you only while you are there.

OS/2 SETTINGS
Priority Settings

The range of values for these fields is -31 to 0 to +31.  A value
of 0 gives OS/2 complete control over the scheduling of the task.
A value of -1 (or lower) decreases the task's priority, while a
value of +1 (or higher) increases the task's priority.

NOTE:  A value of 0 may be the BEST setting!

However, in some cases you may want to ensure that a process
receives CPU attention even if another task which is hogs the CPU
is being used at the same time.     (continued next screen)
-----------------------------------------------------------------
E02/04
OS/2 SETTINGS
Priority Settings

For example, even though PKZIP will use every CPU cycle it can
get, you may not want its usage to impact the responsiveness of
the system as seen by other callers who are online at the same
time.  To reduce PKZIP's impact on the response time, you could
increase PCBoard's priority (e.g. a setting of 1 or higher), and
then decrease the priority that is used to run PKZIP (e.g. a
setting of -1 or lower in the PCBQWK field).

Having done this, a CPU meter will still show 100% utilization,
however, all this means is that OS/2 is not allocating any CPU
-----------------------------------------------------------------
E03/04
OS/2 SETTINGS
Priority Settings

time to the "idle process" which is the CPU meter.  All that this
means is that the CPU meter is at too low of a priority to get
attention.  But since PCBoard has the higher priority, it will
get attention first.  And any CPU time that PCBoard doesn't need
will be handed over to PKZIP.

The setting for "Normal Processing" should be in a range of 0 to
31.  The value you put here controls the "boost in priority" that
OS/2 gives to PCBoard.  The other fields are then relative to
that boost.  So if you put a +5 in the "Normal Processing" field,
-----------------------------------------------------------------
B04/04
OS/2 SETTINGS
Priority Settings

and a -5 in the "All Other Shells" field, the priority of most
shells in PCBoard will be returned to OS/2's default priority.

Be sure to read the documentation for further details and
examples on setting the priorities.

CAUTION:  When in doubt - leave the priorities at 0!

Sysop Level

This is the security level that will be given (temporarily) to a
caller when you press the F1 key or when a Conference Sysop joins
the conference for which he is designated a sysop.

This security level upgrade is removed upon hanging up or leaving
the conference in the case of a conference sysop.

NOTE:  This level also tells PCBoard at what security level a
user should be displayed the SYSOP MENU instead of the USER MENU.

N01/01
SYSOP COMMAND LEVELS
Level Needed to Read All Comments

This is the security level that a user will need to have in order
to read comments to the sysop.

NOTE:  Comments to the sysop are assumed to be of the highest
security nature and therefore a user having this level can read
all mail left on the system no matter who it is from or to.

It is recommended that all sysop security levels be 100 or higher
-----------------------------------------------------------------
N01/01
SYSOP COMMAND LEVELS

-----------------------------------------------------------------
N01/01
SYSOP COMMAND LEVELS
Level Needed to Enter @-Variables in Message Base

All of the @-variables or macros can be entered in a message and
displayed when viewing the message.

For that reason you may not want the CALLER to have the ability
to enter @-variables into a message.  Setting the security level
here to something higher than a caller has will cause PCBoard to
REMOVE any valid @-variables from the message editor prior to
allowing that caller to save the message.

However, @X (color codes) may be used by anyone.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
N01/01
SYSOP COMMAND LEVELS
Level Needed to Edit Any Message in the Message Base

In the User Commands screen you can define the security level
that is required for a caller to edit a message which he has
entered.

This option allows you to set the security level required for
a caller (or sysop) to be able to edit ANY message in the
system regardless of who entered the message.  Of course, the
caller must first have security clearance to read the message
before it can be edited.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
N01/01
SYSOP COMMAND LEVELS
Level Needed to Not Update Message Read Status

The (R)ead (O)nly capability allows you to read messages without
having your Last Message Read pointer updated.

In addition, for sysops (or those having sufficient security) it
can also avoid marking the messages as having been read.

You may not want the CALLERS to be able to use this command and
thus defeat your ability to tell if they have read their messages
yet.  Setting the security level here outside the reach of your
normal callers will keep them from using this capability.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
N01/01
SYSOP COMMAND LEVELS
Level Needed to Use the BROADCAST Command

This command is used to send a one line message to a caller on
another node.  You may not want regular caller's interrupting
each other and, if not, the setting for this command should be
out of their reach.

Level Needed to View the Private Upload Directory

This corresponds with the F;P command (similar to F;U to view
the public upload directory, but F;P views the private upload
directory instead).

It is recommended that all sysop security levels be 100 or higher
-----------------------------------------------------------------
N01/01
SYSOP COMMAND LEVELS
Level Needed to Enter Generic Messages (@USER@)

This setting controls whether or not a caller can produce a
message that, at once, appears to be addressed to every user on
the system.  This could be annoying if used inappropriately or
too frequently for junk mail.

If a caller tries to use @USER@, but does not have sufficient
security, PCBoard will address the message to "ALL" instead.

It is recommended that all sysop security levels be 100 or higher
-----------------------------------------------------------------
N01/01
SYSOP COMMAND LEVELS
Level Needed to Edit Message Headers

This entry controls whether or not you can use the "E" command at
the End of Message Command prompt to perform such operations as
re-addressing the message, changing the security on the message,
changing the FROM field, etc.

It is recommended that all sysop security levels be 100 or higher
-----------------------------------------------------------------
N01/01

-----------------------------------------------------------------
N01/01
SYSOP COMMAND LEVELS
Level Needed to Overwrite Files on Uploads

When a file already exists on the system, PCBoard normally will
not allow the caller to upload the file indicating that it
already exists.

The sysop, or anyone having this security level, can either:  1)
Remove the existing file, 2) Continue with the upload (leaving
both the old and new files online), or 3) abort the upload.

It is recommended that all sysop security levels be 100 or higher
-----------------------------------------------------------------
N01/01
SYSOP COMMAND LEVELS
Level Needed to Set the Pack-Out Date on Messages

When entering a message and answering the Security question, or
when editing a message header to modify the protection, a user
can type "D" to set the pack-out date.  This setting controls
which callers can utilize this feature.

It is recommended that all sysop security levels be 100 or higher
-----------------------------------------------------------------
N01/01
SYSOP COMMAND LEVELS
Level Needed to See All Return Receipt Messages

Normally a Return Receipt is useful only to the person that
requested the Return Receipt.  With that thought in mind, PCBoard
will normally not show the Return Receipt to other users, not
even the sysop.

In order to see Return Receipts that belong to others you must
have a security level equal to, or greater than, the level
specified here.

K) Kill a Message

Enter the security level required to kill a message.

NOTE:  A message cannot be killed unless it can first be seen.
In other words, the caller must have sufficient security to read
the message and/or the message must be addressed to that caller
in order to read the message first.  Then if the message can be
read, it can also be killed if the caller has sufficient security
to use the Kill a Message command.

ACCOUNTING CONFIGURATION
Enable Accounting Features

There are four steps to enabling the accounting features in
PCBoard, they are:

1) Answer 'Y' to the Enable Accounting Features question.
2) Set the various charges and rewards in the ACCOUNT.CFG file.
3) Edit the PWRD file to select the security levels for which
   accounting will be enabled.
4) Install the Account PSA by running PCBSM.

After all 4 steps are completed, accounting may then be utilized.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
N01/01
ACCOUNTING CONFIGURATION
Display Money instead of Credits

PCBoard can display the credit values, shown for charges and
rewards, either as simple numbers (for credits), or it can put
the appropriate currency symbol in front of the values for you
automatically.  PCBoard obtains the currency from the operating
system configuration.

This setting affects the @-macros that are available for
displaying the beginning balance, charges thus far, and current
balance.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
F01/02
ACCOUNTING CONFIGURATION
Concurrent Tracking of Charges

When Concurrent Tracking is set to NO, PCBoard keeps track of
every charge for every activity on the system and deducts the
charges from the balance.  For instance, with a beginning balance
of $20, and $5 spent on writing messages and $10 spent on file
downloads, the balance would be $5 (i.e. 20 minus 15).

With Concurrent Tracking set to YES, PCBoard calculates the
balance by subtracting only the LARGEST of the charges from the
balance.  In this case, the user would have $10 left because the
$5 charge would be ignored.    SEE NEXT PAGE FOR FURTHER INFO
-----------------------------------------------------------------
B02/02
ACCOUNTING CONFIGURATION
Concurrent Tracking of Charges

The reason you might set Concurrent Tracking to 'Y' is if you
wanted to sell a package deal such as "300 minutes or 30 meg,
whichever comes first".  In this case, you don't want to subtract
the charges for both when calculating the balance.  Instead, you
are merely interested in determining which one is reached first,
so you would set the charges for minutes and file downloads such
that the user's balance would run out if 300 minutes were spent
online, or if 30M were downloaded.  PCBoard will then calculate
based on the largest of the two and deny access only when the
first one is reached.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
N01/01
ACCOUNTING CONFIGURATION
Ignore Empty Security Level

Normally, when the user's account runs empty (0 credits left),
PCBoard automatically uses the Security Level When Empty value
that is specified in the user record.

If you would prefer to ignore that value and keep the user always
at the same security level but simply deny access to functions of
the board which require credits, then answer 'Y' to this setting.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
N01/01
ACCOUNTING CONFIGURATION
Peak Usage Start and End Times

Minutes used during the hours specified as "Peak Usage" are, or
can be, charged at a different rate from the time spent online
outside of the "Peak Usage" range.

Specify here the start and end times in 24-hour format (i.e.
08:00 and 17:00 would give you a range of 8am to 5pm).

NOTE:  The Peak Days of Week and Peak Holidays list also come
into play when determining if a user is online during the peak
period.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
N01/01
ACCOUNTING CONFIGURATION
Peak Days of Week

ACCOUNTING CONFIGURATION
Name/Loc of Account Configuration File

The Account Configuration file is used to specify the various
charges and rewards for the major activities of your system, such
as time spent online, messages read or written, files or bytes
downloaded or uploaded, etc.

NOTE:  There are additional settings that are specific to their
areas.  For instance, each door can have a charge associated with
it (via DOORS.LST), each command (via CMD.LST), and each
conference can have additional charges as well.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
N01/01
ACCOUNTING CONFIGURATION
Name/Loc of Account Tracking File

The Account Tracking file can either be in ASCII or DBF format.

If you specify a name such as ACCOUNT.TXT, then PCBoard will
maintain the file in ASCII format.  If the name of the file has a
DBF extension, such as ACCOUNT.DBF, then the file will be written
in DBF format instead.

The Account Tracking file contains a list of the various charges
and rewards each user has experienced while participating on your
system, broken down by date, time, user, activity and cost.

ACCOUNTING CONFIGURATION
Name/Loc of Account WARNING File

The Account WARNING File is a file that, if it exists, is
displayed to the user as he or she logs into the system, but only
if the current balance is at, or below, the level you have
defined, in the ACCOUNT.CFG file, as the "warning level".

As with all other display files, this file may include PCBoard
display macros or may launch a PPE.  In this file you might
inform the caller of the current balance and possibly even use
a PPE to take an order for a renewal.

display macros or may launch a PPE.  In this file you might
inform the caller of charges incurred during his session.

NOTE:  There are also two PCBTEXT entries which are shown to the
caller at logoff.  Either one, or both, could be overridden using
MKPCBTXT to modify the prompts.

Charge Per Message Written (Echoed)

Enter the value you want to charge for each message which is to
be echoed out to other systems.

The reason why you might charge differently for echoed versus
local messages, is that local messages might boost local activity
and you might want to encourage them.  Meanwhile, echoing a
message may represent a cost to you, in terms of long distance
money or otherwise, for which you might want the caller to
reimburse you by paying for each echoed message.

N01/01
ACCOUNTING RATES
Charge Per Message Written (Private)

Enter the value you want to charge for each message which is to
be echoed out to other systems.

The reason why you might charge differently for echoed versus
local messages, is that local messages might boost local activity
and you might want to encourage them.  Private messages, on the
other hand, are only seen by the sender and receiver and do
nothing to boost the appearance of activity on the system, so
you may want to charge for them.

-----------------------------------------------------------------
N01/01
CONFERENCE CONFIGURATION
Public Conference

Private Conferences can only be joined if a caller is REGISTERED
in the conference already.

A Public Conference is that which either 1) allows everyone
access to the conference immediately, or 2) one that has a
security level requirement to join the conference.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
F01/02
CONFERENCE CONFIGURATION
Required Security Level to Join (if Public)

If this conference is flagged PUBLIC then you can still set a
security level requirement which must be met before allowing a
non-registered user to join the conference.

For example, if you had a set of conferences that you didn't want
new users to automatically have access to, you could set the
security level to something like 10 and give new users a level of
5.  Then in order to give the user access to these conferences
you would only need to set his security level to 10 or higher.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
B02/02
CONFERENCE CONFIGURATION
Required Security Level to Join (if Public)

Alternatively, a caller can be REGISTERED into a conference which
then completely ignores the public and/or security level settings
for joining the conference.

NOTE:  On a Public Conference, the RX flags (registered for
access) are not normally needed.  But because PCBoard can speed
the caller's access to the conference by placing these flags in
the caller's account, you may also set the registration flags.

See the Auto-Register Flags setting.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
N01/01
CONFERENCE CONFIGURATION
Password to Join (if Private)

If the conference is set to private, you may still allow a caller
to join the conference by providing that caller with a special
password.  The password required to join is specified in this
field.

NOTE:  Upon joining the conference, the R flag (registered) will
automatically be set in the caller's account so that the caller
will not have to provide the password the next time the
conference is joined.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
N01/01
CONFERENCE CONFIGURATION
Auto-Register Flags

In a public conference, the Registration Flags (the "RX" in the
conference flags) are not necessary.  However, by setting the RX
flags on you can speed up the caller's access to the conference.
This is possible because PCBoard then does not have to read in
the conference information to determine the public/private status
or the security level requirements.

By setting this field to non-blank (such as "R", "RX", "RS,
"RXS", etc) you can set the caller's Conference Flags the first
time the caller joins the conference.

CONFERENCE CONFIGURATION
Number of Message Blocks (for OLD Index Files)

Enter the number of message blocks that should be allocated for
the old-style message index.  This number is ignored if you are
using only the new-style .IDX files which are not pre-allocated.

Each block represents a RANGE of 1K in message numbers.  That is,
with 1 block defined you may have a RANGE of messages from a low
number of 1 to a high number of 1024.  Likewise, 100,001 up
through 101,024 is also valid with a block setting of 1.

Each block requires disk space of 4K.

CONFERENCE CONFIGURATION
Number of Message Blocks (for OLD Index Files)

Regular running of PCBPACK will remove numbers from the low end

File Name

When processing the changes you have made to the DIR file the
question "Perform operation (Move/Rename/Delete) on marked files"

you need to put a "|" character somewhere on the line.  It can be
anywhere except the first position on the line.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
N01/01
FILE MOVEMENT
Days Before Move

Enter the number of days, after the date posted on the file, on
which the file should be moved to its new location.

For example, if the file is dated 6/1/94 and you enter a value of
21, then after 6/22/94 the file will be considered ready to be
moved to its new location.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
N01/01
FILE MOVEMENT
File Name with Wildcards

Enter the name of the file to be moved, including any wildcards
desired.  A typical answer here would be simply *.* or perhaps
*.ZIP to automatically select all files for which the boolean
search criteria matches.  However, an answer such as *.GIF would
help narrow down the file selection for that particular type of
file.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
N01/01
FILE MOVEMENT
File Name Inside

For performance reasons, it is best to leave this answer blank.

However, if the best way to determine if a file should be moved
is by checking inside of the archive to see if a particular type
of file is included, then entering the filename (with wildcards)
in this field will perform that function.

For example, to see if a ZIP file has a PCBoard PPE in it, you
might enter *.PPE in this field.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
N01/01
FILE MOVEMENT
Boolean Search Criteria

This is the key to selecting files for movement.  Very complex
criteria can be devised by utilizing boolean and (&), or (|) and
not (!) symbols inside the criteria, combined with parentheses
to group the logic together.  As an example, you could collect
all PPE utilities and add-ons together with the following
criteria:  (" PPE " | .PPE) & (UTIL | ADD-ON)

NOTE:  This field scrolls to the right as you continue to type or
use the right arrow cursor key.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
N01/01
FILE MOVEMENT
Move Date

Enter the date after which you want the file to be moved.

The Move Days and Move Date values are related to each other in
that, if you enter a Move Days value, PCBFiler will calculate the
Move Date, while entering a Move Date will cause PCBFiler to
instead calculate the Move Days.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
N01/01
FILE MOVEMENT
Copy/Move

Enter a 'C' if the file should only be COPIED (the original kept
in its place) or an 'M' if the file should be MOVED (the original
will be gone after it is moved to its new location).
-----------------------------------------------------------------
N01/01

Move File Offline

If you answer 'Y' to this question, PCBFiler will move the file
to a hard disk subdirectory which you have specified as the
offline directory.  The file description will remain inside the
DIR file right where it is.

NOTE:  The offline directory can also be specified as conference
number 65535 and directory number 0.

Include files found on DISK but not listed in the DIR file

If you answer 'Y' to this question then it will scan the attached
hard disk directory and include, at the bottom, any files that it
found on the disk that were not already listed in the DIR file.

This can be useful for bringing an entire set of new files into
your DIR file by copying the files to the attached hard disk
directory and after starting up the PCBFiler editor providing
descriptions for each of the new files.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
N01/01
DEFAULTS
Verify file existence (Y=attached directory, N=No, A=All)

N)o  - will not verify that the file exists.
Y)es - will check the attached  hard disk directory to see if the
       file exists.
A)ll - will check the attached hard disk directory (if there is
       on) and then check all download paths until it finds the
       file.

By answering "Y" or "A" the PCBFiler Editor will automatically
update the file date and size of any file in the listing.

N01/01
DEFAULTS
Check for duplicate files in each DIR processed

If you answer 'Y' to this question then it will scan each of the
files that are processed to see if any file names are listed more
than once in any individual DIR file.  If they are you will be
asked which of them you want to delete.

To scan for duplicates across DIR files you must choose the
"scan for missing/duplicate files" option from the main menu.

DEFAULTS
Delete tagged files from disk (Y=Yes, N=No, A=Always)

If you have marked files for deletion PCBFiler will process all
moves, renames, etc.  before it actually deletes any files giving
you a chance to abort the process before any damage is done.

Additionally, it will ask you to confirm the deletions before it
deletes any files.  You can then answer 'Y' or no to the question
which will default to the answer given here.

If instead your answer here is "A", for always, then the above
question will never appear and it will simply delete the files.

Set FILE DATE when moving files

This option only comes into play when you answer 'Y' or 'A' to
the "Process marked files" question after editing a DIR file.
Possible answers include:

T)oday  = Change the file date to TODAY's date
O)ldest = Change the file date to match the OLDEST in the archive
R)ecent = Change the file date to match the NEWEST in the archive
N)o     = Do not change the dates on files being processed

          before moving or copying the files.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
N01/01
DEFAULTS
Create 0-Byte File when moving OFF-LINE or creating DELETED entry

If you answer 'Y' to this question then when a file is moved to
the OFF-LINE directory a 0-byte file will be left in its place to
avoid the possibility of someone uploading the file.

Additionally it will create a 0-byte file if you use the F7 key
to delete a file.  This places the word DELETED in the file date
column of the file listing and the 0-byte file avoids having the
file re-uploaded to the system.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
N01/01
DEFAULTS
Remove "Uploaded by:" lines when files are moved

If you answer 'Y' to this question, then when PCBFiler moves a
file into a NON-upload directory, the description will be scanned
to see if it contains the words "Uploaded by:" and, if so, the
line containing the words "Uploaded by:" will be removed.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
N01/01
DEFAULTS
Remove "Files:/Oldest:/Newest:" lines when files are moved

If you answer 'Y' to this question, then when PCBFiler moves a

Default to Expert Mode in DIR File Editor

When inside the DIR File Editor you can hit ALT-X to shift from
novice to expert mode and back.  The expert mode shows the
conference and directory numbers on the screen with shortened
status indicators while the novice mode hides that information
and gives more meaningful status indicators.

This option allows you to set your default to expert or novice
mode to avoid having to hit ALT-X each time you use the program.

Default Indentation for Vertical Bar

The vertical bar character "|" is used by PCBoard and PCBFiler to
indicate that a text line is to be logically attached to the
preceding line in the file.  It may be located anywhere on the
text line provided that column 1 is a space.

PCBoard's default indentation for upload descriptions is 32.
This setting does NOT affect PCBoard's upload descriptions and is
only used inside the PCBFiler DIR File Editor when pressing the

DEFAULTS
Original Directory

If you maintain your DIR files on a ram disk then you may want to
place the ram disk location in this field and a place a hard disk
location in the "New Directory" field.

Doing so will cause all edits and updates to take place on the
hard disk rather than on the ram disk where changes may be lost.

Example:  Old = F:\GEN\    New = C:\PCB\GEN\
          causes "F:\GEN\DIR1" to change to "C:\PCB\GEN\DIR1"

               ARC        INTERNAL
               ZIP        INTERNAL
               ???        LIST

The "???" is a special case that matches ALL filename extensions.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
N01/01

FIDO TOSSER CONFIGURATION
Create MSG with Outbound Packets Attached

This setting is to allow other front end packages to send mail
packets that are created by PCBoard.  An echo or netmail packet
created by PCBoard's internal tosser will be in the subject field
of the MSG file as a file attach.  You will need to tell PCBoard
where to store the MSG files in PCBSetup | Fido Configuration |
File & Directory Information, and have your front end software
look in this same directory for MSG files.

You do NOT need to enable PCBoard's internal MSG file processing.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
N01/01
FIDO TOSSER CONFIGURATION
Enable Inbound Routing

This setting allows PCBoard to forward any mail packets which are
received but not addressed for your system.  Any routing events
which are currently active will be honored.  See the Route-To
Fido Event Verb in the Event Editor.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
N01/01
FIDO TOSSER CONFIGURATION
Secure Netmail

With this field set to 'Y', PCBoard will only import netmail
from Fido sites with a ~FIDO~ user record. All other netmail
will be moved to the secure mail directory defined in file and
directory configuration.

This setting can prevent unwanted netmail from being imported
without the sysop's knowledge.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
N01/01
FIDO TOSSER CONFIGURATION
Change SYSOP to FIDO_SYSOP

Echo mail often comes in genericly addressed to SYSOP. This
setting can avoid having the SYSOP's mail waiting flag set in
Fido echo areas.

-----------------------------------------------------------------
N01/01
FIDO TOSSER CONFIGURATION
Check for Dupes using Message Path

Duplicate messages are forbidden in Fido style networks however,
they are often a fact of life. By enabling Message Path duplicate
checking, you will eliminate duplicate messages that have passed
through your system previously. Most satellite services will
eliminate duplicates before sending packets to your system. Since
they generally send the same packets to everybody, you will
receive messages that you previously sent to the service. Message
Path Dupe checking is a very quick way to prevent these messages
from being re-imported, and is recommended for those receiving a
satellite service. MSGID dupe checking is not needed for this.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
N01/01
FIDO TOSSER CONFIGURATION
Check for Dupes using MSGID

MSGID dupe checking is a powerful, yet slow method of ensuring
that no duplicate messages are imported to your system. With this
setting enabled, PCBoard will search through the current message
base for a MSGID matching that of the message being imported. You
can specify how many messages to search back in the following
field - Number of Messages to Track for Dupes. IF you are
receiving a satellite service that strips dupes for you, this
feature is not needed. See Message Path Dupe Checking.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
N01/01
FIDO TOSSER CONFIGURATION
Number of Messages to Track for Dupes

This field stores the number of messages PCBoard will search back
when MSGID dupe checking is enabled. This is an exellent method
for eliminating duplicate messages you receive however, it can
be a time consuming process. The more messages PCBoard has to
search, the more time it will take to import.

NOTE:  A value of -1 will search the entire message base.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
N01/01
FIDO TOSSER CONFIGURATION
Generate Response Message

If you are a hub, response messages are useful to inform
downlinks of the results of a requested service, such as areafix
and file requests.  By setting this 'Y', PCBoard will send
responses to sites requesting services to let them know the
results of the request.  The PCBoard package includes several
default messages and header messages for certain responses.
Files with an MSG extension are complete messages, while files
with a HDR extension are message headers and will have additional
text added by PCBoard.  For example, if an areafix requst comes
in, PCBoard will send a response with the results of the request.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
N01/01
FIDO TOSSER CONFIGURATION
Enable PassThrus

If you are a hub, and you wish to pass mail through to your links
without carrying the echo area on your system, you can enable
passthrus. To setup passthrus, use FIDOUTIL.EXE.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
N01/01
FIDO TOSSER CONFIGURATION
Enable Areafix Forwarding

If you are a hub, and you are not carrying all echoes in your net
you may wish to enable areafix forwarding. With this enabled, and
an areafix request comes in for an area you do not carry as a
PCBoard conference, or FIDO passthru, PCBoard will look at your
~FIDO~ users for an uplink that matches the current net. PCBoard
will then pass this areafix request along to that uplink. If auto
adding areas is enabled, this area will be added as a passthru
area and the user that sent the areafix will be registered in
that area. See PCBSM fido user view for details on how to specify
an uplink user.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
N01/01
FIDO TOSSER CONFIGURATION
Auto Add Fido Areas as PassThrus

With this setting enabled and if you receive a message that is
targeted for an area you do not have setup, instead of tossing
that message to the BAD area, PCBoard will setup that area as a
passthru area. If you start receiving a new area due to an
areafix that was forwarded, the user that requested the area will
be registered in that area.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
N01/01
FIDO TOSSER CONFIGURATION
Re-Address Routed Packets

Some other mailers that receive routed netmail packets need to
have their address in the packet destination field. Although this
is generally not required, this setting will instruct PCBoard to
replace the destination field with the address of the site being
routed through.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
N01/01
FIDO TOSSER CONFIGURATION
Route Echo Mail

In some cases, routing echo mail can be advantagous. Especially
for those receiving a satellite service, yet wishing to send
reply packets through a local hub.  This setting will instruct
PCBoard to apply any routing event Route-To VERBS to echo mail
packets as well as netmail packets.
