  This an easy PPE to install after looking at the USADOOR from PLANET CONNECT
  and the size of the program I decided it was time to write another PPE to
  preserve some hard drive space. Also I have a distrust of Door programs as
  they seem to cause more problems on my board then any thing else.

  To install all you have to do is go into your CMD.LST file, and ALT-I (Insert
  Line), and put:

    NAME             ACCESS                PATH
   ------           --------              ------
  USATODAY          0 (Your Choice)       C:\PCB\USA\USATODAY.PPE
 _____________________________________________________________________________

    Now make sure you have your HELP and USA files in the same directory as
    your PPE.

    The only other rule is that the USATODAY files reside in your USATODAY.PPE
    directory. I do this when I exit the PLANET CONNECT to do my mail run in
    my process.bat file I have the following lines:

    CD\INBOUND\USATODAY
    PKUNZIP -o USATODAY.ZIP H:\PCB\USA

    This way your files should update every you exit PC to do a mail toss if
    PC gets it BETA prog's figured out you should be able to watch for an
    error level when USATODAY is rec. and process at this time.

    This is a BETA prog. The only part that does not work at this time is the
    bonus for the day. I am still trying to decide how to code something that
    is never the same.

    The other problem is the people at USATODAY are still learning how to
    spell and sometimes misspell words in the HEADLINES.USA file which throws
    the PPE for a loop as I search this file to gather up the headlines and
    locate the text.

    Any problems or questions you can leave me a comment at my board or take
    a look at the ppe in action.
