- | 1. Introduction |
- +-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
- Enhanced User Lister is a PCBoard PPE replacement for your USERS command.
- It features numerous configuration options, including the ability to display
- a variety of statistics that the default (built-in) user lister does not. The
- best way to find out more about this PPE is to try it out.
-
- 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:
-
- USER.BOT Footer display file.
- USER.CFG Configuration file.
- USER.EXC User exclusion file.
- USER.TOP Header display file.
- USER.SEC Alternate text show for security levels.
- USER.DOC Documentation (you are reading it now).
- USER.PPE The PPE itself.
- S_AMIX.ZIP Sample configuration - Ami/X style.
- S_FORUM.ZIP Sample configuration - Forum/Vision-X style.
- S_TSP.ZIP Sample configuration - Phalanx style. :)
- HISTORY.DOC Revision history.
- 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 |
- +-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
- If you are upgrading from any previous version, you must reinstall as the
- entire setup has changed.
-
- To install this PPE, simply add this to your CMD.LST, either as a new
- command, or as a replacement for the "USERS" command.
-

- | 4. Configuration |
- +-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
- USER.CFG is the main configuration file. There are several options which
- you may want to experiment with. Otherwise, entries in here are more or less
- textually based, so configuration should be fairly easy.
-
- USER.EXC is the user exclusion file. If you have set this option to "yes"
- inside of USER.CFG, then this file is used. Enter user names, one per line,
- of the users you do not wish to have shown up in the user listing.
-
- USER.SEC is for text printed in place of a security level that is printed.
- If you are printing security levels, then you may wish to have it say some-
- thing like "SysOp" instead of the actual level you have (typically, 110).
- This feature works for any (definable) security level.
-
- USER.TOP and USER.BOT are the header and footer files, respectively.
-
- S_TSP.ZIP, S_FORUM.ZIP, and S_AMIX.ZIP are sample configuration files for
- you to take a look at and/or use. S_TSP.ZIP contains the same configuration
- as the one on seen on my system. S_FORUM.ZIP contains a setup that you find
- on many Forum style systems (ie: Vision-X). S_AMIX.ZIP contains a setup that
- is typical of an AMI/X board. These are included to show you the flexibility
- this PPE has (and to use for those lazy sysops :) ).

- +-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
- If you look at the history file, you'll notice that the last update to
- this was back in late July. I decided to dig this up and rewrite the entire
- thing to make things run more smoothly (and also, seeing the old PPL 2.0 code
- was disgusting).
-
- 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,
