All rights reserved. � 읕컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴켸 旼컴컴컴컴컴컴컴� � Description � 읕컴컴컴컴컴컴컴� NETM-E is a PPE (PCBoard Programming Executable) that will allow you to replace, the (E)nter Message commands in your FidoNet Netmail conference, which will prompt you & your users for the information necessary to properly address outgoing messages. This version only works with PCBoard 15.21 or later with Fido enabled. 旼컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴� � License, Warranty, and Disclaimer � 읕컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴� You are allowed to use NETM-E for 30 days, after which you must either register NETM-E or stop using it completely. NETM-E registration is a license for your use of NETM-E. I retain full ownership of the software. A single registration applies to a single BBS system, with any number of computers connected together to make up that ONE system. As far as a warranty: There isn't one. The only thing that I will GUARANTEE is that NETM-E will take up disk space, and will disappear when deleted. Disclaimer: I'm not responsible for anything bad that happens. NETM-E works here, but I cannot be held responsible for it not working on your computer or doing any damage to hardware or software. If these aren't agreeable to you, then the best thing to do is delete NETM-E right now. While I'll do my best to help any user, registered or not, and act on bug reports quickly, I cannot and will not be held responsible for anything bad occurring, like mis-directed messages, increased phone bills or whatever you can think of. 旼컴컴컴컴컴� � History � 읕컴컴컴컴컴� Early on when I was using InterPCB with GEcho. I grew tired of having to re-address my user's netmail messages, and answering the same question on how to use the local FidoNet<>UUCP Gateway. 1 Time, I logon Salt Air and found John Luce's FPCBNM. It works well with me. (Thanks to John Luce) But after I switch to PCBoard 15.21 with Fido. It won't works. So I decide to write one myself. 旼컴컴컴컴컴컴컴커 � Registration � 읕컴컴컴컴컴컴컴켸 What will registering do for you? It will allow you to live with a clear mind. It will also remove the COPYRIGHT screen and the forced wait for your user's and yourself. See the enclosed text file NETM-E.REG for more information. 旼컴컴컴컴컴컴컴커 � Installation � 읕컴컴컴컴컴컴컴켸 First make a directory some where this set of files will exist then either copy them to it or just unzip a copy of the archive to it. Then run PCBSETUP. Select your Netmail message conference, and then hit the page down key, which will bring up a second screen. Towards the bottom of the first column you should see the command "Conf-Specific CMD.LST file". You want to select to edit that with the F2 key. Hit and ALT-I. It should be the E command. They should be followed with the appropriate security level, and the complete path to where NETM-E.PPE. This will replace PCBoards (E) commands in your Netmail conference. The CMD.LST entry should look something like below. EXAMPLE ------- 1) E 0 M:\PCB\PPL\NETM-E\NETM-E.PPE NETM-E.CFG Now save that and exit to the Netmail conference setup. Although people vary this setup in several ways. The PPE's are designed to account for a majority of them. A copy of my Netmail conference set is listed below. It works for me... The only exception to the setup I can see is the return receipt setting. That can be any security level you wish, just make sure you note that exact level for insertion in the configuration file later. �袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴袴� � Name (#100) : NETMAIL � � � � Auto-Rejoin into this Conf. : N Additional Conference Security : 0 � � Allow Viewing Conf.

The installation is almost complete. The last thing is the setup of the configuration file which can be called whatever you wish as long as it's specificied correctly on the command line. An incorrect command line entry will result in an error being shown to the screen, and logged in the callers log. An example configuration file is included called NETM-E.CFG can in must be located in the same directory as NETM-E.PPE. Although the configuration file contains an explanation of what each line must contain, I will skim over it should you not file the config- uration file with this archive. The config file is nothing more than a six (6) line text file. The lines MUST be in this order, otherwise, the program will fail to work properly. Blank lines will result in error codes being sent to the screen and the callers log.

Must exactly equals what u set in PCBSETUP. It's that easy. However if you find that you are having problems setting this up, or have specific needs (The program isn't working for you...).

So I can't spend too many time on PCBoard. But, if u need any functions, feel free to contact me.
