─══| Introduction |═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════─
`--------------'
LastCallers is a fully configurable PCBoard 15.x PPE that displays the last
few callers to a user. Up to 15 last callers can be displayed either during
logon or as a menu command/option. The following infomation is displayed:
Call# Name Usernote Speed Time Node
----- --------------------- ------------------------- ----- ------- --
i.e. 12345 John Doe Anytown, Anywhere Local 12:00am 01
.--------------.
─══| Installation |═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════─
`--------------'
Installation can't be any more simpler!
Unzip all files into a directory (i.e. C:\PCB\PPL\)
For Display during the Logon Process, Go into PCBSetup and edit the line:
Name/Loc of Logon Script Quest. : C:\PCB\PPL\LASTCALL.PPE n
n = Number of last callers to display (1 through 15)
If no parameter is given, LastCallers will not log the user and will
display a list of the last 15 callers. (For use as a Menu Command
and/or Bulletin)
If 0 is used for n, the opposite will happen, the caller is logged but
no display is outputted (may have some uses!)
Save & Exit.
For a Menu Command/Option edit your CMD.LST and add the line:
Command Security PPE/MNU File -or- Keystroke Replacement
══════════════ ════════ ═══════════════════════════════════════
1) LAST 0 C:\PCB\PPL\LASTCALL.PPE
That's it! Enjoy!

Customizing Banners:
You may customize the top and bottom banners of LastCallers by adding
CALLERS.TOP and CALLERS.BOT to the PPE directory. If CALLERS.TOP and/or
CALLERS.BOT exist(s), LastCallers will detect these files and use them
instead of the default banners. For a demostration unzip BANNERS.ZIP!

─══| Some words from the Author / Technical Information |═════════════════════─
`----------------------------------------------------'
LastCallers has come a long way since v1.0α and should be bug-free, however,
if you encounter any type of bug, even the slightest, please leave me e-mail
on the board you downloaded this from or give my board a call. As always, Any
user comments/suggestions are always appreciated...
Although there are MANY other Last Caller PPE's out there, this one shows
the handles/names and usernotes in mixed case (SmartFields). A feature we've
been all waiting for!?! However, this is done by intense programming and not
by PCBoard itself. For some reason unknown to me, I don't understand why
PCBoard stores names/fileds etc. in all UPPER case. Also, this LastCallers
doesn't nag you like the others and is fully configurable. I've also seen
other PPE's stick pauses/space gaps and such somewhere where Sysop's might
not want them there. LastCallers does not stick any spaces, carriage returns
and/or waits/pauses anywhere so it's all up to the Sysop how he wants it
displayed. Thanks for using MPS PPE's!
Greetz & One-liners:
The Hit M/┤N - EOT Soft, Can't wait until they are
released!!
ViG! - SCHAT 2.0?
and to all other PPE programmers / Customized-PCBoard Sysop's...
Oh and a BIG thanks to Clark Development Co. for bringing us the best BBS
Software and of course the top-rated PPLC! Now all we need is PCBoard v15.5
with mixed case fields and improved "MNU" support... I mean, we've waited
15 versions for it... All in all though, PCBoard Rulz!
