──┤ Terms ├───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
└───────┘
1. For those of you who obtain a source code from me, if you modify it in
any way, do NOT distribute your modified version ANYWHERE. If you wish
to distribute your modified version, you MUST upload it to my system
first, so that I may review your modifications. You may only distribute
your modifications only AFTER CONSENT from myself!
2. You will NOT charge anyone for your modified versions. I am making this
program available for FREE to YOU and you should do the same for others.
If I do find my program being charged for by other sysops, then I will
discontinue making my source codes available! I choose to make my
source code available in hopes of helping new PPLC programmers learn
the language.
The Author of this program (PPEMENU Version 1.0 Beta) will NOT be held
liable or responsible for any damage or harm caused to your system by
this program. You are using this FREEWARE at your own risk and by
using it, agree to the terms above!

─┤Introduction├───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
└────────────┘
Well folks, this is my very FIRST PPE ever and it is compiled under PPLC 2.0.
This is not the first program of its purpose, but it is the first that I know
of available as FREEWARE. I have downloaded one that was similar which was
not crippled, but contained a huge nag for registration during execution and
exiting of the PPE. So, I decided to write one myself that I can share with
anyone that will find it of use and of value, containing NO NAGS or DELAYS.
Not all of my PPE's will be free, but ones that are relatively simple, that
I feel should not have deserve to be charged a registration fee for, will be
made available as FREEWARE for ALL PCBoard sysops, and especially for those
without access to the PPLC compiler, or for those with programming
capabilities of an even lesser calibur than myself.
No source code will be included with Version 1.0 Beta because, being fairly
new to PPLC programming, I am not confident about the accuracy of my
programming structures and syntax, therefore, I do not wish for anyone just
learning PPLC to pick up any inaccuracies that _I_ may have.
In future versions, after Beta testing, I _will_ release a source code.
However, if you would still like to obtain the source code to this program,
and don't mind my little warning above about me being relatively new to
PPLC programming, you may obtain a copy of the source code from my board by
leaving me a comment on my system, as soon as I get your message, I will
attach it to a message for you to download immediately. Or if you would
like, I can be reached on FIDOnet at the address shown below or Salt Air BBS
as well.

──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
New releases will be posted periodically on Salt Air BBS, for the latest
versions of PPEMENU as soon as they are released, you should periodically
call my system and download it from the FREE Files area. Otherwise check
Salt Air periodically, as I will eventually post new releases up there
within a few days after releases of new version on my board.
──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
BETA TESTERS
The only thing I ask is that all Beta testers report
any glitches or bugs as soon as possible and in an
as detailed fashion as possible. These reports may
be left on Salt Air BBS, or by directly calling the
Metropolis Information System at the number shown
above.
Any suggestions and comments are welcome! I very much would
like to get feedback on what you think of the program and what
you would like to see added or improved.

in this archive.
