ABOUT THIS PPE

        I looked on a few boards for something to do what I wanted, altho
        I never found it so here I wrote my own. Other than little things
        specific for my board this is my first PPE. The main purpose of it
        is to allow users to configure there own login, and be able to pick
        wether or not they want the Oneliners displayed and the Last Few
        Callers screen, etc. Users can login normally (using all defined
        login screens/ppes), fast (using no defined login screens/ppes),
        or use configured login.

        User Data files are stored individually in a USERS\ subdirectory.
        This MUST exist. I figured it would be easier to do it this way
        then to have one klunky file. This way its sped up and easier
        to remove non-existant users. Only users who change their login
        config have a dat file.

INSTALLATION

        Make sure the USERS\ directory exists and put the PPE somewhere in
        your login process. One way of doing this is to change prompt #665
        (Scanning for new bulletins..) in your PCBTEXT file to :

        !C:\PPE\QLOGIN\QLOGIN.PPE

        Most PPEs already in your login process should be added to the
        QLOGIN.CFG file, however some things you may want to be forced to
        run. (On my board I have a PPE I wrote which checks to see if the
        user has normal security or not, and if not it asks for an auto-
        validation password.) In this case you can make a text file with
        a line for each PPE like this :

        !C:\PCB\MNU\ACSCHECK.PPE
        !C:\PPE\QLOGIN\QLOGIN.PPE

        Then change your prompt #665 to say :

        %C:\PCB\GEN\LOGON

        Now edit QLOGIN.CFG using the parameters at the bottom of the file.

FUTURE IDEAS

        I plan to clean up the code alot, to make it run faster, more
        streamline, and use less memory. I will probably add lightbar
        login configuration as well. Please let me know what you want
        to see.

SUPPORT

        If you can't get this PPE to run on your own chances are I cant
        help you. The latest version of all my PPES are available on my
        board insomnia [41O]679-5642 from the matrix, or you can email
        me at jderose@metnet.epflbalto.org and if your really nice and
        dont bug me (and definetly dont suck up) then I MIGHT uuencode
        a copy of the latest for you. Please feel free to leave me any
        suggestions, bugs, comments or whatever.
