- | 1. Introduction |
- +-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
- Enhanced Comment to Sysop (ECS) is a PPE replacement for your "C" command.
- It allows your users to leave feedback (private email/message) to a list of
- possible system operators on your system. This PPE is lightbar and hotkey
- driven for a smooth interface.
-
- Since this was compiled with PPLC 3.0, you must be running PCBoard v15.2
- or higher in order to use this.
-

- | 2. Packaging |
- +-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
- Your zip file should contains the following files:
-
- ECS.PCB The "menu" screen.
- ECS.CFG Configuration file.
- ECS.DOC Documentation (you are reading it now).
- ECS.PPE The PPE itself.
- ECS.PPS Source code to the PPE.
- EXAMPLE1.ZIP Sample configuration #1.
- EXAMPLE2.ZIP Sample configuration #2.
- OTHERDJP.DOC Other stuff I've written.
- FILE_ID.DIZ File (zip) description.
- PWA.NFO PWA info file.
- TSP.NFO My bbs ad.
-
- If any of these files are missing, be warned that you may have a copy
- that has been tampered with. If you have any extra files, they are extraneous
- and unnecessary.
-
- Typically, my bbs ad may not be there, which is not a problem. However,
- the idiots who contribute this to the fidonet backbone (usually originating
- from the Clipper Workshop BBS) edit the FILE_ID.DIZ, remove PWA.NFO and
- OTHERDJP.DOC, and insert their own bbs ad which is bigger than most ppe's.
- Just be aware, since who knows what other stupidities they may pull.
-

- | 3. Installation |
- +-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
- To install this PPE, simply add this to your CMD.LST, either as a new
- command, or as a replacement for the "C" command.
-
-
-
- +-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
- | 4. Configuration |
- +-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
- ECS.CFG is the only configuration file you need to edit. It is not very
- long in length, so should be easy to setup. All necessary instructions can be
- found in ECS.CFG itself. Two sample configurations are included. Just unzip
- either EXAMPLE1.CFG or EXAMPLE2.CFG and you're all set.

- | 5. Last Words |
- +-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
- The last (and only) release of this was done back in August. I decided
- to dig up the old source code and give it some new life by rewriting it in
- PPL 3.0. I'm also including the source as part of the distribution, since I
- do not forsee any need for serious updates to this PPE in the future.
-
- Otherwise, if you need to reach me for some reason, you can send internet
- email to "drew@xinet.com", or leave me a message on Attitude Net, or call my
- board: The Silicon Phalanx at 310-575-8567 and apply for access.

- Peace,
