I. Introduction
This will allow your users to automatically raise their
security level if they enter the correct password. An unlimited
number of different security levels can be specified, each with a
different password! (Actually, they can LOWER their access too
if they enter a password corresponding a lower security level.)
Use at your own risk.
II. Installation
Step 1.
Make a directory for this ppe. For example:
mkdir c:\pcb\ppe\raise
Step 2.
Unzip everything into that directory:
pkunzip dj-slr10 c:\pcb\ppe\raise
Step 3.
Install this under your CMD.LST area. So run PCBSETUP, select "B"
for File Locations, then "B" again for Configuration Files, and then
finally pick your CMD.LST file.
Fill in the corresponding information: command name, security level
to access it, and where it's located. Eg:
Command Security PPE/MNU File or Keystroke Replacement
------- -------- -------------------------------------
RAISE 20 C:\PCB\PPE\RAISE\RAISE.PPE
Step 4.
Edit the "raise.cfg" file to specify the passwords you want for each
level. The format goes like this for each line:
PASSWORD LEVEL
"LEVEL" is the level the user receives if "PASSWORD" is entered
correctly. You can have as many passwords and levels as you want
in here. Passwords must be 50 characters or less.
Step 5.
Edit all the *.pwd files to your like. All of these are optional and
if left out, default values are used.
III. Description of Files
RAISE.DOC
This file.
RAISE.PPE
This is the main ppe.
RAISE.CFG
This is the mandatory configuration file
FILE_ID.DIZ
File description used for automated file describing on a bbs.
TOP.PWD (optional)
File shown to the user before they are prompted to enter the
password.
VALID.PWD (optional)
File shown to user if they enter the correct password. This
can be a regular ascii text file, an ansi graphics file, or
a file with PCB color codes in it.
INVALID.PWD (optional)
Same as valid.pwd, but shown if the password is incorrect.
PROMPT.PWD (optional)
This file should contain only one line, and that is, the text
shown to the user to prompt the user for the password.
IV. Last words
Yet another small PPE written on the spur of the moment. The
previous one was the Command Password Checker. Both of these PPE ideas
were given to me IpStar (UFT). This one is really similar on the front
end to the previous one, so took even less time to write. :-) (I was
even so lazy as to just edit the old docs instead of re-writing it.)
I highly doubt there should be any bugs in this as this PPE is
really simple in code and in design. But if you find any bugs, or just
want to thank me, curse me, give me suggestions, whatever, you can reach
me in these ways (in order of quickest read by me):
1. Internet email: drew@xinet.com
2. My board : The Silicon Phalanx
Node #1: 510-795-0200
Node #2: 510-795-0400
3. On Infinity BBS (UFT WHQ).
If you are reading this after August 31st, then my bbs will not be up
at those numbers. I will have relocated to the Los Angeles area by
then since I will be attending UCLA for my masters degree. As of this
writing, running the bbs down there is uncertain and I'll do what I
can to keep it going. Nevertheless, I can still be contacted in other
ways...

DISCLAIMER
----------
As of this date (5-19-94), I'm one of the newest PWA Members as a PPE
programmer. This PPE however, is done for UFT, since I am now a member
of UFT as well. Now one might think there is a conflict of interests
here and I'd like to clear this up (read: covering my ass).
If I think of an original PPE/PCB util to write (meaning, no one told
or suggested that I do this for them or for their group), the program
goes first to PWA.
If a member of a group (ie: Dream Weaver from PWA or IpStar from UFT)
that releases PPE's requests/suggests I do a certain programming task,
then that particular program will go to them.
If more than one person suggests the same thing, the program goes to
whomever came first.
All non-affiliated people who give me suggestions will have the program
fall under the first category, as if I thought of it, and will go to
PWA. Of course, I didn't think of it in this case and I will give credit
where credit is due if it's really original.

END DISCLAIMER
--------------
Sorry for all the text, but I'm usually very wordy because I don't want
anyone misinterpreting what I'm saying. :-) Gawd, I've spent more time
writing these docs than writing the ppe...
Last shots out to:
Dream Weaver (PWA) : Thanks for giving me the chance!
IpStar (UFT) : More ppe ideas? Bring em on!
ReDMaN (ACiD) : Where are my ansi's??? :-)
Vigilante (PWA) : You the man with the fresh ppe's right now..
Scimitar (PWA/WWC/UC): Give me a couple more weeks on the stats util.
I'm headed off to Hawaii for a week!
And greets go to all other programmers for their efforts.
