| 1. Introduction                                                             |

        A PPE replacement for your CNFN file.  Automatically prints out only 
the conferences a user has access to.  Also ignores any "blank" conferences.
Written in PPL 3.0 for PCBoard 15.2 only.

| 2. Installation                                                             |
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
        Install this inside of your CNFN file.  So just edit the file, and
put something like !C:\PCB\PPE\JOIN\JOIN.PPE on a line by itself.
(needless to say, you probably don't want anything else in the file <g>)

| 3. Misc Notes                                                               |

        JOIN.TOP is the header file.
        JOIN.BOT is the footer file.
        JOIN.CFG uses replacement codes.  See details within the file itself.
        (Don't worry, it's only 4 lines long. :) )

        Since this PPE has to create the list of available conferences for the
online user "on the fly", I did not write this PPE with lightbar capabilities.
That's just the trade-off...

        Source is included, so feel free to modify to your heart's content in
order to satisfy your needs.  I am not asking for money (although receiving
money would be nice), so the least you can do is have a conscience and not
redistribute modified versions of this source.  I include source so that other
programmers can learn from the mess I make <g> and get other (new) ideas as to
how to do something.

        This is just another joyous PPE idea from Raw Liquid. :)

        Otherwise, if you need to reach me for some reason, you can send
internet email to "drew@xinet.com", or leave me a message on Attitude Net,
or call my board: The Silicon Phalanx at 310-575-8567 and apply for access.

Peace,
