Install Instructions

This is a simple PPE to install so the instructions will be also <g>

Extract the files to a directory or your choice. All files must reside
in the same directory.

In the NEWLOCK.CFG file, enter the security level assigned to New Users in
PCBSETUP.

Now edit the NEWLOCK.CNF file, and enter each conference, one per line,
that you want new users to be locked out of. This list can be as long
as you like.

Finally, you need to run the PPE during logon, preferrably in a display file
which is displayed after the new user information is recorded. An ideal
location would be the LOGON display/questionaire. Just add the line:

!d:\path\NEWLOCK.PPE

with the ! in the first column. The PPE can have one command line argument:

!d:\path\NEWLOCK.PPE /VERBOSE

This will cause the PPE to additionally enter every conference number
to the callers log that it changes the user's flags in.

Additional Files
================

The PPE will create a Database and index of all new users so speed up logon
after it has updated a new user, should they call again before being upgraded.
The PPE automatically detects when a user is no longer at New User security
level, and removes their entry in the database, to keep it's size down.
It does all the maintanence automatically.
