General Summary : This  PPE will give  users the capability to create and
                  manage mailing list files. I've always wanted a  method
                  of  creating  and  maintaining mailing lists, but never
                  saw anything that would do this.   And  while  perusing
                  the  net  one  day,  I saw another SysOp ask about this
                  capability, and the response from Salt Air was to write
                  a PPE to do so.  That's when I realized that Clark  was
                  probably  not going to add this capability really soon.
                  So, I wrote this one to "fill in the gap", so to speak,
                  until that happens.


PPE Description:  The  PPE  is  actually  pretty  simple. The user simply
                  types "MAILLIST" (or whatever you decide  to  call  the
                  PPE  in  your  CMD.LST  file). The first  time  a  user
                  runs  the  program, the system will tell them that they
                  have no mailing  lists  in  their  database,  and  will
                  prompt  them  to create a new list, if they want. If it
                  is not the first time the user  has  used  the  mailing
                  list  manager,  they  will  be  presented  with  a menu
                  allowing them to address  a  message  by  entering  the
                  number  of  any of the mailing lists in their database,
                  or to manage their database lists.


Installation    : 1. Copy these files into their new home by creating a new
                     directory for the PPE (ie. C:\PCB\PPE\MAILLIST).
                     ** Create a directory called "LISTDATA" off your
                     MAILLIST PPE subdirectory. This is where your users'
                     mailing lists will be stored **

                  2. Add the maillist command to your CMD.LST file (From
                     PCBSETUP, select FILE LOCATIONS/CONFIGUTATION FILES)

                     For Example:

                      MAILLIST  10  0  0  C:\PCB\PPE\MAILLIST\ML110.PPE CMD
                                                                        ^^^
                                  *Important* Make sure you include the CMD
                                      argument or the PPE will not work!

                  3. Next, you'll need to whip out the  old  text  editor
                     and modify the configuration file. The configuration
                     file should be entered as outlined below:

                     LINE 2: Name of Your BBS
                     LINE 3: Your Registration Number, "0" if Unregistered
                                (Put any number here. It's ignored)

                  4. That's all there is to it.


Registration    : The unregistered version of this program has no delays,
                  or nags. The only restrictions are that users  will  be
                  limited to 2 mailing lists, and may have a maximum of 5
                  entries in each list.  In the registered program, users
                  may  have  up to 20 mailing lists, with a maximum of 20
                  entries per list. You may find the unregistered version
                  satisfactory for your BBS. If such is the case, you are
                  free to use it for as long as you like.
