│Page-Me! allows you to let your users reach you @ your numeric pager number!││
│Each user can assign their own "code" and you can "block out" specific users││
│from using this utility. It has a "time table" file so you can restrict when││
│it is used.  So even if you only have a LOCAL paging service, LD callers can├┘
│even page you at your pager! And much more!                                 │

     └────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
     Installation of  Page-Me!  is really very simple.  Page-Me! should be
     installed in your CMD.LST as shown below:

     Command       Security      PPE/MNU File -or- Keystroke Replacement
     =======       ========      ========================================
     PAGE-ME!         40          C:\PCB\PPE\PM\PAGE-ME!.PPE
     Make the security level at whatever you desire and adjust for your paths.
     For more info on CMD.LST see PCB docs.

     If you are NOT setting up Page-Me! for the FIRST time, be careful not to
     over-write any of your files with the lists or time tables that I include
     with the distribution files. I include them as samples and mine may not
     match with yours and I'd hate to see your settings lost or overwritten.
     Make sure you edit your config file appropriately.

     If Registered, place a copy of your PAGE_ME!.KEY (or POWERPAK.KEY) in the
     same directory as the PPE.

     So... unzip the contents of the Page-Me! ZIP to the directory you'll be
     running it from. Then edit the PAGE-ME!.CNF and display screens to your
     BBS.

     └──────────────┘

   * Line 7, the REVERSE entry, allows you to reverse how the BADNAMES.LST
     is used. If you put REVERSE on line 7 then the "bad names" in the list
     will be looked at as "approved for use" names. You'd use this feature
     if you have "fewer" names that you want to allow to use this utility.
     If you want to use the bad names list as just that, then leave line 7
     as blank. Lastly, if you are having messages sent to you they will be
     addressed "from" PAGE-ME! so add this name to your PCBoard TCAN file
     so nobody can logon under that name and read these messages.

  ** This string will be inserted between the number and the pager code.
     In the above config, the full dialing string would be
     ATDT123-4357,,,,code
     where code is the pager code selected.

     Page-Me! a time table similar to FONE-VER to determine if a page is OK
     for a particular time. As you can see above, I have mine set to allow
     pages only between 7am and 6pm Monday through Friday and not at all on
     the weekends. If you do not want to permit calls during a certain time
     place an N in that day's/hour's column. The first column of Y's is at
     00:00 thru 00:59 am, the last column of Y's is 23:00 thru 23:59 pm.

     The top left corner of the block must start at row 4, column 4.

     │ BADNAMES.LST │  This is a list of names of users you do not want
     ├──────────────┤  to permit access to Page-Me!. If you use the REVERSE
     │ JIM BROWN    │  feature of Page-Me! then these names would be the
     │ AL GREEN     │  only names allowed to use this utility unless their
     │ RED SKELTON  │  security level was within the minimum and maximum
     │ KAREN BLACK  │  security level ranges.
     └──────────────┘

     There are a few "display files" used by Page-Me. They are WELC which
     is displayed upon entering the door, and BADNAME which is displayed
     to a user whose name was found in the BADNAMES.LST file. A file called
     BADTIME will be displayed to users who call outside the times that you
     specified in the TIME file.

     Also, files called ########.COD where ######## is a number unique for
     each user to enter a specific code of their choosing or one of your
     "assigning".

     If you want users to be able to pull from a menu of codes that YOU
     have defined, then create these files: MENU and MENU.LST.  MENU is
     the file displayed to users that shows the page reasons that you've
     assigned, and MENU.LST contains the codes corresponding to options
     in the MENU file. See the included MENU/MENU.LST files for details
     on this feature.
     Page-me will not work without these files, so you should have at
     least 1 entry.

     That's about it, it's pretty much straight-forward but if you have
     any questions, feel free to drop me a note on the Intelec Network
     in the IS_Support conference.
