PDJump v2.1 from PDome Software Copyright 1993, 1994 Darrell Davis Created with PDMenu v1.0 from PDome Software Copyright 1992, 1993, 1994 Darrell Davis Created with SearchLight Programmer's Library Portions Copyright (c) 1993 SearchLight Software Introduction PDJump replaces the Searchlight subboard Jump command. It is a full screen program that allows the user to move a cursor up and down to select the subboard they want to jump to. It also allows the user to Join and Unjoin subboards. In addition, it allows the user to 'CatchUp', or mark all messages read in any subboard. PDJump will use any subboard ordering files that are active. PDJump does not require a fossil driver because it uses Searchlight's internal communications support. PDJump is shareware and can be registered for as little as $20. Execution To run PDJump use the following command in any SL menu: pdjump.exe Set communications support to "Standard", abort method to "Terminate", and write protection to "No". PDJump searches for the environment variable SLBBS. This must be set to your bbs directory. There is an internal limit of 400 subboards that can be loaded at any one time. If you have more than 400 subboards I suggest you break them up with list files. Even 100 subboards is a lot to search through to find the one you want . Non-ANSI Users PDJump no longer supports non-ANSI users. Searchlight BBS now includes the capability to limit certain menu commands based on the users ANSI status. I recommend using the internal Jump command for non-ANSI users and PDJump for ANSI users. Not including non-ANSI support greatly reduces the file size of PDJump and alows me more time to concentrate on other things. Faster Subboarding Reading This version is compiled with the new SLTPUs for SLBBS v4.0 and above. It includes faster routines to read the subboard data. It may work with previous versions of SLBBS, but it has not been fully tested. I strongly encourage everyone to upgrade to the latest version of SLBBS. Guarantee There is none. I do NOT guarantee what PDJump will do when run on your system. Address I would appreciate anybody that uses PDJump to tell me what you think about it. I monitor SL_SYSOP and SL_DOOR so you can send me an echo message. My FIDO address is 1:123/60 and my SLNet address is 250:312/1561. You can send me netmail at either of these addresses. My BBS is The Searchlight Cafe at (901)324-2105. You can logon and send me mail. Also you can FREQ a list of current PDome Software programs and utilities with the keyword FILES. Many Thanks Many thanks to Frank Larosa for producing the greatest BBS program. Also thanks to Frank for releasing his SearchLight Programmer's Library units that helped create this program.
