Pro-Vote v1.0 Shareware Voting Booths PPE for PCBoard v15.0 The installation of Pro-Vote is fairly simple. Pro-Vote should be in- stalled into your CMD.LST as the command (usually VOTE) that you wish to assign to it. For more info on CMD.LST please see the PCBoard docs. The configuration, questionnaire and display files must be located in the same directory as the PRO-VOTE.PPE. A sample configuration file is explained below and must be called PRO-VOTE.CNF.

Pro-Vote creates this file automatically for each Booth answered so you really don't have to worry about creating it yourself. Pro-Vote History v1.0 on 09-01-93 Initial release and looking good right out of the gate! Shareware Pro-Vote is not freeware, it is shareware and time as gone into this. You have 30 days to evaluate it, then you must register or remove it. You use Pro-Vote at your own risk. I will not be responsible for lost data or any damage that the use or misuse of Pro-Vote may cause. It's been thoroughly tested on my system and works flawlessly here but I'm just covering my assets. If you have any ideas & suggestions that can improve on Pro-Vote, let me know in the Intelec Network's PPL forum. Registration does several things, it removes the slight delay as well the unregistered notice. It also gives you the ability to create *32* voting booths, as opposed to the *1* in the evaluation version. To Register Registration grants you a license to use Pro-Vote on the (1) BBS that it is being registered to and Pro-Vote licenses can't be transferred. Registration is only $10 U.S. Send checks or money orders payable to Cliff Watkins at the address shown below. If you are outside the US please only use Postal Money Orders in US $. Non-U.S. personal checks cannot be accepted, please don't send cash! If in the U.S. include a voice number and best time to reach you and I will call you with the registration number and validation code. If outside the U.S. then you must call my BBS for this info. There is no "online registration" at this time, sorry. Thanks for evaluating Pro-Vote! Look for my many other fine PCBoard PPE utilities! Cliff Watkins P.O.
