PPE Name: Newbie.ppe Author: Gary Manigault Software type: FREEWARE I will make this short and sweet. This is a very simple PPE that does nothing more than send a text file to newusers. It is also my first attempt at writing a PPE. I use it on my BBS and I will also be making modifications to it and updates. I hope you enjoy it. Since this is Freeware, I only ask that you drop me a line on my BBS with enhancements, bug fixes and just to let me know how you like it. Thanks. Setup Instructions 1. Create a directory for the Newbie application. 2. Unzip the Newbie application in the directory you created. 3. Use Mkpcbtxt and modify number 123. Put the newbie app in place of what was there. (ex. !C:\PCB\NEWBIE\NEWBIE.PPE) 4. Next modify your NEWBIE.CFG file with the proper information. 5. Create your txt file that will be sent to your users. This file can contain @X07 color codes. 6. Logon as a newuser and test it out. If you have any problems or there are any bugs please let me know. My BBS is the Great White Shark! (614) 431-5901. My Fidonet addresss it 1:226/660. The latest version of this software can be FREQed from my BBS. The Magic Name is NEWBIE. BBS #: 614-431-5901 Fidonet: 1:226/660 Magic Filename: NEWBIE Internet: garym@infinet.com
