Program: ANSI-D v1.75 Author: Steve Catmull & David Terry Date: 04/26/93 Description: PPE (PCBoard Programming Executable) that you can replace PCBTEXT record #149 with. What this PPE offers that PCBoard does not is to do some ANSI checking before ever even asking the caller if they want graphics or not. By testing for ANSI before the prompt is ever issued, the appropriate default value can be set for the user. If they have ANSI capabilities (as per the  test then the default for the prompt will be "Yes". Otherwise, the default will remain "no". Installation: Installing this PPE is very simple. Use MKPCBTXT to load your PCBTEXT file. Press F3 and enter 149. You will now see the "Do you want graphics" record. Simply change it to an ! followed by the full path and filename to the ANSI-D.PPE file. That is all there is to it. Command Line You can control the wait time for ANSI and RIP detection Parameters from the command line. The following are the only two valid command line parameters: /ANSITIME:[seconds] or /AT:[seconds] Gives you the ability to over-ride the default wait time for ANSI detect of 2 seconds. For example, if you wish to make the new wait time 3 seconds, then you would enter the following in PCBTEXT: C:\PCB\PPE\ANSI-D.PPE /ANSITIME:3 or C:\PCB\PPE\ANSI-D.PPE /AT:3 /RIPTIME:[seconds] or /RT:[seconds] Gives you the ability to enable RIPscript detection and to specify the default wait value at the same time. If you do not specify the /RIPTIME or /RT parameters on the PPE commandline then RIPscript detection WILL NOT be enabled. If you simply want to enable RIP and accept the default of 2 seconds then add the /RIPTIME or /RT parameters with no color on seconds parameter. Example: C:\PCB\PPE\ANSI-D.PPE /RIPTIME or C:\PCB\PPE\ANSI-D.PPE /RT Modifying: Feel free to modify the PPS (source) file as your needs dictate. That is why the source is included. :-) And last, but certainly not least. HAVE FUN!
