RMAILxxx.ppe

NAME STANDARD:

       The filename represents the name plus the version/release
       of the PPE.

PURPOSE:

       The Read Your Mail PPE was designed for sysops, frustrated
       by callers who ignored the prompts to read their personal
       mail.  This clogs a sysop's harddrive with outdated MSGS
       that NEED to be read.  The PPE scans all conferences for the
       MAIL WAITING flag, shows which conferences contain waiting
       mail, and disables download functions until the mail is
       read.

BENCHMARK:

       With two hundred conferences, and cnames preloaded, the scan
       takes about 6 seconds.  The code has been rewritten twice
       and that seems to be the fastest so far.

INSTALLATION:

       Installation is quite simple.  RMAIL accepts two
       command line parameters.  The first being the
       User's Security level applicable to the
       restrictions.  If you only wish to apply this
       restriction to level 20 and below place 20 on the
       command line.

       Second, the command being replaced.  For both
       downloads and batch downloads, the PPE must be
       entered twice into the cmd.lst

       Example:

  Command    Sec  Minute    Use    Keystroke        Substitution
ÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍ ÍÍÍ ÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍ ÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍ

REGISTRATION:

       This PPE is released as SHAREWARE.  It can be used for an
       evaluation period of thirty days.  After the period is over,
       please either register or remove the PPE from your system.
       
       Registration is only $8.  Registration removes the
       "Unregistered" tag from the display screen and replaces it
       with your system name.  It also places the sysop's name 
       at the end of the "Rea your MAil!" note.  Registration is 
       good for all future releases.
