QUICK INTRO
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
    This is your basic ppe for a New User Password option for your board.
It's actually written so that you can use this for **any** sort of password
option that you want to, not just a new user password.

    I know this has been done MANY MANY times before, but here are a couple
of extra "features" not found in other NUP ppe's:

        1. Auto-timeout - If users do not enter the correct password within a
           a specified amount of time, the ppe will automatically drop
           carrier.  Good for those morons who like to hack or just waste
           time.

        2. Source code included!  I do not see what the big deal is for not
           distributing source for such a simple ppe.  This is one of those
           ppe's that don't take much time to write, yet I have seen people
           release it as if it was there pride and joy creation in
           programming.  Big whoop dee doo.

INSTALLATION
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
    You can install this practically any where you want.  For a new user
password, a typical place might be right after the user enter's their name
and PCBoard reports that it is not found in the user's file.  Try prompts
#208, #150, or #54 of PCBTEXT.)  You can stick this inside of the NEWUSER
somewhere, which is displayed when a new user logs on.

    For other passwords, I leave it up to your imagination. :)


-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
CONFIGURATION
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Just edit the config file.  There are just 10 options in there, and it
is relatively simple and well-documented within it.  This PPE comes with
source code, so you can modify that anyhow you wish.



-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
DISCLAIMER: Do not distribute modified versions of this source without the
original included.  It's a bad thing to do and your conscience will make you
feel guilty (unless you have no conscience.. but in that case, you are a
shoddy programmer and will know deep, deep down inside of you that you didn't
write this).
