Prelog.ppe version 1.80 One thing that I felt was lacking on PCBoard was the ability to accomplish several things witghout logging on to the BBS. The ability for users to page the sysop, download the allfiles list, upload a file to the system, download other files that the sysop wanted to make available and leaving a comment to the sysop without having to log on would be a handy feature. New features in v1.80 - added a built in config editor, cosmetic changes. Just add you path for the ppe plus prelog.ppe in record 385 of PCBTEXT file using mkpcbtxt.exe. Here is a sample screen of the display. Place the ppe in a subdirectory and enter ! plus the path and name of the PPE.
