I HAVE TESTED THIS PPE EXTENSIVELY ON MY 2 NODE BBS AND HAVE FOUND IT TO
BE SAFE. IT HAS BEEN TESTED UNDER DESQVIEW AND OS/2. YOU WINDOWS SYSOPS
ARE ON YOUR OWN, SORRY. HOWEVER, I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY PROBLEMS ON
YOUR SYSTEM CAUSED BY USING THIS PPE.

│PROGRAM BRIEFING │
└────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
When I wrote this PPE, I had no intention of releasing it. It was for my
own use. But one of my bbs users convinced me to share so here it is. You
will notice that instead of writing the Chat Request to the callerslog, it
mails the sysop a note with the request and reason. This is because I
don't usually look at the callerslog. I like to be notified by mail that
'Joe User' wanted me and why.
StormCHAT is a PPE that will page the sysop to chat using a sysop defined
.voc file player and a sysop defined .voc file through your Soundblaster.
After the page, the chat request and reason is MAILED to the sysop. The
user also has the option of sending a comment to a sysop defined user (i.e
you the sysop or a co-sysop that handles comments)
