N E T iNFO PACK As of 04-15-95 I. What is PPEnet? ------------------ PPEnet came into existance about 2 years ago around the time PCBoard 15.0 came out and the bbs world was becomming overun with PPL programmers and the wanna-bes that always abound in such a "scene." I decided it would be nice to have a network dedicated to getting the "Good" programmers together to insure that we all had a way to keep up with new techniques and to give beginers a place to come to learn without prejudice. Since then the net has grown, and died, and grown again. PPEnet has become much more than the name implies. Our main focus is of course PCBoard PPEs and items related to them. But we also provide support for programmers of all types. C/Pascal/ASM are currently supported and if interest is shown for other languages we will add echos. Note: I (Nemesis) had to leave the net a year ago and passed it on to another ZC, who basically let it die. The network was inactive from 07-01-94 until 04-01-95, when I decided to rebuild it and my BBS back from the ruins, and it is already better than ever. The net has message traffic from the programming underworlds best, and is growing daily. So if you need to contact to the best, come to PPEnet. II.
