 have been fixed and it works 100% stabil and safe now!

requirements
---------- -
* PCBoard 15.23


installation
---------- -
 just copy PMSG.PPE, PMSG.CFG, RECEIVER.PPE, RECEIVER.CFG and SERVICE.PPE to
 a directory of your choice (eg.'C:\PCB\PPE\PMSG')
 
 add PMSG.PPE to your CMD.LST.
 (i'd suggest to use PMSG as command name but that's up to you..)

 replace PCBText #396 with '![PATH]\RECEIVER.PPE'.
 if you already have a prompt or other ppe here just write down how it's
 called and put this line into RECEIVER.CFG (see 'configuration' for further
 information)

NOTE: Please do not rename RECEIVER.PPE or SERVICE.PPE!


configuration
----------- -
 *= RECEIVER.CFG   (must be located in same directory as PMSG.PPE)
    1st line: Will be displayed after RECEIVER.PPE is executed, put your
              prompt, a call to your prompt-ppe or whatever you want here!

 *= PMSG.CFG  (must be located in same directory as PMSG.PPE)
    ..is selfexplinatory, have a look in it!
      i included several example configurations, feel free to modify them
      until they fit your needs (just copy to 'PMSG.CFG'):
      PMSG.GER (Original style german)
      PMSG.ENG (Original style english)
      PMSG.IBM (IBM Style, looks simple but clean:))
      PMSG.AMI (/X Style english)


troubleshooting
------------- -
 Q: I can read my PMSGs but my prompt doesn't appear :(
 A: Check RECEIVER.CFG !

 No more known problems, if you have some don't hesitate to contact me!


history
----- -
* v1.0 - Bug: PMSGs with more than 4 lines weren't handled correctly
