Disclaimer
~~~~~~~~~~
This software is released 'as is' and I make no guarantees either written
nor implied about it's proper execution on your system. By running this
software you agree to hold me harmless if something should go haywire and
it causes the deletion of your system. I only guarantee that it will take up
a little hard drive space when you first install it, and will continue to
grow the longer you have it installed.
Registration
~~~~~~~~~~~~
This software, along with 99% of other software that will be released
by me is considered 'HomeLessWare'. Meaning if you like the program, and
continue to use it, you are required to register it. The way you register
it is to give the first homeless person you see a donation of $2-$5 (any
higher amounts will not be turned down). This will entitle you to a big
fat thank you from me, and will miracuosly register your software (but
only in your mind!).
Installation
~~~~~~~~~~~~
Installation is as easy as it can get. Go to your \PCB\GEN directory
and put '!C:\PCB\PPE\EXPIRED.PPE' (or whatever your path is) on the first
line of your EXPIRED and/or EXPIREDG files.
Although you can still display the current file to the user, I would
suggest against it for cosmetic looks! And that's it, you've installed it.
The program will create the necessary files which are:
Expired.cfg 'This is the config file! Duh!
Expired.ans 'This can be your original EXPIRED file.
Expired.mnu 'This is the main menu of the program.
Expired.usr 'A log file of all your Expired Users.
The config file will consist of the following.
EXPIRED.CFG
-----------
Expired.ans
BLT1
Subscrib.txt
Rules.txt
C:\PCB\PPE\CREDIT.PPE
C:\PCB\PPE\TABS.PPE

--------------------------------------
Line 1: File showing expired info to the user (EXPIRED or EXPIREDG)
Line 2: Bulletin to show your subscription rates.
Line 3: File to download for mailing in subscription *
Line 4: Second file you'd like the user to download.
Line 5: PPE you'd like this program to call for credit card processing.**
Line 6: PPE you use to enter TABS codes.%
Line 7: Length of delay on screen 1 (0-99 seconds)
Line 8: Allow the user to exit PPE to the BBS.***
Line 9: Level given to expired users.****
Line 10: Allow leaving message to the sysop.
Line 11: Conference to send message to "SYSOP" in.
*
Make sure that any file listed in the config file is 1) In your download
path for whatever conference the user might be loggin into, and 2) that
it is a free download.
**
If you are still running a door for credit card processing this will not
work for you. You've got to get with the times! Get a PPE!!
This line also requires the path to the PPE you'd like to run.
***
If set to 'N'o, the ppe will log him off when he tries to exit. If set
to 'Y'es the PPE will just exit to the bbs where he will be free to do
as he wishes. :)
****
With this new feature it is easier to annoy users if you choose to allow
them to exit the PPE to the BBS. This way you'll be able to call the ppe
from any display file and change the screen to show that they can stop
the screen from showing by subscribing to your system! (Evil little mind
at work!) >:)
% TABS is a trademark of True Media Inc. You can reach them at 1-407-722-3406
BBS. You need to have a set of SID codes for any TABS ppe to work.
Special Thanks
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Special thanks go to all the morons on my system that inspired this PPE,
if it weren't for you I would of never written this! :)
Support

You need support? Ok.. if you have questions or suggestions you can reach
me at:
Body Images BBS

Special Note
~~~~~~~~~~~~
Oh yeah, I almost forgot. You need to be running PCBoard 15.1 for this
PPE to work properly! If you are still using 15.0, you've gotta call
Salt Air and download 15.1!
