Installation:

Dump all the files in this archive somewhere (c:\pcb\ppe\rumours)

Edit your cmd.lst file and make a new command for RUMOURS.PPE, I use
"RUMOURS" you can use whatever..  It will look something like this:

                             File Locations

       Command     Security  PPE/MNU File -or- Keystroke Replacement

                             or whatever path you have defined

That is the routine to add, view, or delete rumours (sysop security level
needed to delete, as defined in pcboard.dat).

 or whatever path you have defined

Lastly, your PROMPT.TXT (or whatever) file should look like this:

!c:\pcb\rumours\rumours.ppe
@X08þ@X07þ@X0Fþ @INCONF@@X08þ@X0F @TIMELEFT@ Left @X0Fþ@X07þ@X08þ@X0F:

Put a blank line at the top, it will look much better if the user just
slams return a few times in a row.  Line 2 calls the RUMOURS.PPE, and line
3 is your prompt however you want it to appear.

Also, only people with sysop security will be able to see the real authors.
