LOGON.PPE is a replacement for PCBoard's "Enter the First Name" prompt. 
It makes a full screen logon procedure. You can display any file as you
ANSI logon and then prompt the user for their name and password anywhere
on the screen.

Files suggested for operation:
LOGON.PPE    The full screen logon PPE 
LOGON.PPS    The source code for LOGON.PPE
LOGON.DOC    This file <g>.
LOGON.CFG    Configuration file to set location of prompts
LOGON.       ASCII "welcome" file to display to the caller
LOGONG.      ANSI "welcome" file to display to the caller.
OPPS.PPE     The PPE to run if the user types in the wrong password.
OPPS.PPS     The source code for OPPS.PPS
OPPS.        The text file to display to the user when they type in the wrong password.


Installation is long but fairly simple:

 1) Copy all the suggested files to your C:\PCB\PPL directory (or any other
    location of your choosing)

 2) Run MKPCBTXT to edit your PCBTEXT file (should be done for each PCBTEXT
    you have).

 3) Press the F3 function key and select record #259.

 4) You'll see a line that says something similar to:
    What is your firstname

    Replace it with a line such as this (reflecting your chosen dir):
    !C:\PCB\PPL\LOGON.PPE

 5) Press the F3 function key and select record #208.

 6) You'll see a line that says something similar to:
    @X07@OPTEXT@@X0C not found in user file

    Replace it with a line such as this (reflecting your chosen dir):
    !C:\PCB\PPL\OPPS.PPE @OPTEXT@

 7) Press the F3 function key and select record #53.

 8) You'll see a line that says something similar to:
    (R) to re-enter your name or (C) to continue on as new user

    Replace it with a this line:
    _

    Yes, thats it. Just the underscore. This will get rid of multiple prompts
    being displayed.

 8) Configure the CFG file for your BBS. The sample Config file will work, but
    if you want to change colors or text then this is where you can do it.
 
And thats all to it!

The logon PPE will use "logon" as the welcome file. This is security, lang, 
and graphics specific. So you could have "logon70.rip" to display a different
welcome screen for callers with level 70 security and using the language
"RIP".

The OPPS.PPE will use "opps" as the file that is displayed when the user
is a registered user (entered the correct name) but has entered the incorrect
password. This again is security, lang, and graphics specific.

The source code for both PPEs are located within this archive. Modify it as
you need to for your system, but please do not redistribute the modified 
source code.

If anyone has any suggestions as to new features then either leave me mail
on the Internet (steven.hauswirth@pwrpalce.com) or call my board, The Power 
Palace at (312) 594-0643.

Some of the credit for this PPE goes to Mooncrow at Mooncrow's Aeyrie. He
came up with the general idea and I simply modified it and hardcoded it to
make it work for the mass public.
