BBS--on NEWS display) ============================================================================== Installation: The PPE can be installed in valid desired PPE call locations, such as: the text display files SCRIPT0, or in PCBTEXT locations 192 or 166. Usage: 1. When the PPE executes, it generates two text display bulletins, one called ACALL and the other called ASTAT, both located in the same directory as the PPE file. The files can then be called as an INTRO file, a regular bulletin file, or any other text display file means. (The files can also be limited to a certain security specific level such as: ACALL20 or ASTAT10). 2. The PPE itself can be placed in any location desired as long as the full path is entered in the callout. 3. I recommend placing the PPE in PCBTEXT location 192 and call such as: !C:\PCB\PPE\BOTHALL.PPE (To do this, run program MKPCBTEXT.EXE, enter name of file such as PCBTEXT, select F3, enter 192, then enter the PPE call. 4. The program creates two .TMP files which it uses to generate the PCBoard color coded bulletin. They can be edited if necessary. 5. The ASTAT bulletin requires that the PCBoard User Statistics TPA be installed to acquire the additional statistic information. Registration: NONE!! There is no registration fee. Basic use of the PPE is FREE!!! However, if you feel compelled that my work is worth compensation, I will accept all offers. Thank You! If you want to remove the UNREGISTERED stamp, call my BBS for the FREE registration key (904-757-7878). I'm just curious how many people really use the PPE. Also, if you would like to provide suggestions for improvement to the PPE, bug reports, or just a note of thanks or hello, please forward those as well. See below for my mailing address and BBS number. Additionally, I frequently browse the RIME Sysop and PCBoard conferences, although contacting me there is not as reliable because sometimes I get very busy. Updates: The latest version of the PPE program can be obtained from my BBS: SBG Online! BBS (904) 757-7878. If you have any comments or suggestions for improvement, you can leave them there also. The file will be found in directory #1 as a FREE/NOTIME file. The BBS runs PCBoard 15 at 28800v.fc.
