TimeZone v1.1 Freeware Time Slot Manager for PCBoard v15.0! The installation of TimeZone is fairly simple. TimeZone should be in- stalled into logon script questionnaire (my setup is shown below). Run PCBSetup, go to File Locations and then to the Questionnaires section as shown below. Now in my setup, the file defined below as "LOGON" is not actually a script questionnaire, but it's really a text file, also shown below. Substitute file names and paths that apply to your setup.

Change the path to fit your setup though. here's my LOGON script file: !E:\PPE\TIMEZONE\TIMEZONE.PPE !E:\PPE\UAI\UAI.PPE This is all that is needed to be done to call TimeZone whenever users call into your system. That's the installation, now to configure it... The configuration file must be located in the same directory as the TIMEZONE.PPE. A sample config file is explained below. But remove the comments if you use the one below. And make sure you rename the sample config file from SAMPLE.CNF to TIMEZONE.CNF. This is very important! 255 ;Security level (this & higher) that is exempt from TimeZone 22:00 ;Start time for Time Zone to be "enabled" 10:00 ;End time for Time Zone to be "disabled" Dave Clark ;Name #1 of caller who is to be assigned a time slot. 01:30 ;Start time for name #1's time slot. 02:00 ;End time for name #1's time slot. Jenny Jones ;Name #2 of caller who is to be assigned a time slot. 04:30 ;Start time for name #2's time slot. 05:30 ;End time for name #2's time slot. ; ;and so on for up to 30 Names and their start/end times. ;so the config file should be no larger than 93 lines. ;if you only have 10 names in your config file, then make ;sure line # 33 terminates with a CR LF. Pretty simple, eh? If a user calls you when TimeZone is enabled, and they do not have a slot, they will be displayed the time, the time frame that TimeZone is enabled, and then logged off. If a user calls you when TimeZone is enabled, and they DO have a time- slot, if they called when it was their proper time they will be shown a screen showing that TimeZone has let them pass. But if they called outside of their assigned time slot, they'll be displayed the current time, and what their time slot IS, and then it logs them off. If a user calls you when TimeZone is disabled, whether they have been assigned a time slot or not, TimeZone will let them pass and it is up to you to determine what commands are available to them at that point. This is freeware (always happy to see donations though ) so use it at your own risk. I will not be responsible for lost data or any kind of damage the use of this program may cause. It has been thoroughly tested on my system and works flawlessly here, but I am just covering my assets. Well that's about it, if you use it, enjoy it! If you have any ideas or suggestions to improve on it, let me know in Intelec's PPL forum. And thanks to Clark Development for coming out with the PPL compiler! It is undeniably the greatest piece of work since PCBoard software! Cliff Watkins P.O. Box 212 Baldwin, NY 11510 Intelec Online (516) 868-0662 (D/S 16.8)
