- I HAVE TESTED THIS PPE EXTENSIVELY ON MY 2 NODE BBS AND HAVE FOUND IT TO
- BE SAFE. IT HAS BEEN TESTED UNDER DESQVIEW AND OS/2. YOU WINDOWS SYSOPS
- ARE ON YOUR OWN, SORRY. HOWEVER, I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY PROBLEMS ON
- YOUR SYSTEM CAUSED BY USING THIS PPE.

- │PROGRAM BRIEFING │
- └────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
- When I wrote this PPE, I had no intention of releasing it. It was for my
- own use. But one of my bbs users convinced me to share so here it is. You
- will notice that instead of writing the Chat Request to the callerslog, it
- mails the sysop a note with the request and reason. This is because I
- don't usually look at the callerslog. I like to be notified by mail that
- 'Joe User' wanted me and why.
-
- StormCHAT is a PPE that will page the sysop to chat using a sysop defined
- .voc file player and a sysop defined .voc file through your Soundblaster.
- After the page, the chat request and reason is MAILED to the sysop. The
- user also has the option of sending a comment to a sysop defined user (i.e
- you the sysop or a co-sysop that handles comments)
