Purpose

PCBoard Node Information is an OS/2 PM program which is intended
to replace PCBoard monitor suplied by Clark Development.

PCBoard Node Info will support nodes at least up to 10 and theoretically
there is no limit. I have only tested it with 10 nodes, so I have
no idea how it is going to work nodes above that. CPU resources being
used by the program depends on how many nodes are to be scanned and
how many times information is updated. But generally this program
uses system resources very little. Try it yourself and see.
All settings, window size and place, title bar hiding and font are
saved to pcbnode.ini file when exiting program.


Install

Start program and when settings dialog shows up, enter complete path
to USERNET.XXX file. Then set number of nodes to be scanned and that's
it. If you later change your USERNET.XXX location just delete pcbnode.ini
file and reconfigure program again.


Future

There is still one feature missing at the moment. I can't get window
scrolling work. So when it's done, you can scroll the window and see
other nodes which currently won't fit in the window. Any help would
be appreciated.
