- | 1. Introduction |
- +-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
- See HISTORY.DOC for all changes. Otherwise, Enhanced End of Message is a
- PPE which replaces your end of message prompt with a nice and attractive
- hotkey and lightbar driven prompt. Since this was written in PPL 3.0, you
- must be running PCBoard 15.2+ in order to use this.
-

- | 2. Installation |
- +-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
- If you are upgrading from any previous version, simply replace the old
- EEOM.PPE. One extra line (#3) is added in EEOM.CFG, so take a look at the
- one included in this version for the description.
-
- Simply run INSTALL.BAT or you can manually edit your PCBTEXT and have
- prompts 197 and 612 point to this ppe. IE: !C:\PCB\PPE\EEOM\EEOM.PPE
-
- For those of you who beta tested this and are a running a copy of EEOM
- prior to this release, please replace your old EEOM.PPE.
-
-
- +-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
- | 3. Configuration |
- +-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
- Edit EEOM.CFG to change the two options available inside. Edit LB.CFG for
- text and colours associated with the lightbars. Edit STRINGS.CFG for all text
- strings and prompts which get printed. Each file is rather small and could
- have been put in one big file, but it is more organized in this manner.
-
- Edit EEOM.PCB for the header that is displayed before the main command
- prompt is printed.
-
- The PPE will still function without any of these files, as then it will
- use the built-in defaults. However, it most likely clash with your board's
- colour scheme. :)

- Just about every PCB system I'm on uses either CEOM or an old CIA Footer
- ppe. CEOM by MS is nice and all, but seeing either 3 or 4 lines for a prompt
- such as this drove me nuts. As for the CIA Footer ppe, it just wasn't very
- configurable. So hence, I broke down and wrote this out of fear of going
- insane.
-
- 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,
