[NOTICE.PPE] ver 1.0
Author: Herbert Bushong
PPLC 3.10
Requires PCBoard 15.21+


A quick PPE that can be used to notify your regular users of a new user
who has logged onto the system. Original idea by Butch Dunn of the
NoName BBS.


Installation
Can be used as a replacement for prompt 123 in PCBTEXT or called from a new
user display file. Simple.

A bit of advice. If you have multiple PPE's that want to run from prompt
123, have the prompt display a file instead (see PCBoard Docs for how-to)
and then call each PPE from that display file instead.

The PPE, CFG, and message file MUST reside in the same directory. The
PPE creates a temp file called TEMPXXX.CFG in the node's temp directory.
It should delete the file after it is through, but if it doesn't, it will
delete the file the next time it is run. You can also delete the file
if it gets left behind.

The configuration file is commented, heres a description

Line 1  - Conference to send notification message to.

Line 2  - Who to send message to. @sec-sec@ codes can be used for a group
          of users such as @10-15@ or @200@
 
Line 3  - Number of days from the posting date for packout date of message.
 
Line 4  - Message Security, N-None R-Receiver Only
 
Line 5  - Subject of message
 
Line 6  - Name of file to send in message.  PCB @-codes can be used in the
          file as well as 2 special '#' codes (see next section)


 
#codes#
-------

The PPE uses two special codes #NAME# and #CITY#.
These are the new user's Name and City and are replaced before the message
is posted via the PPE to hard-code the user's information in the message.
There is no formatting codes like @codes:##L/R/C@.
They can be used multiple times also.
