MAVOTE v1.5Za by Ryan Yu of Moon Angel Systems BBS
01/08/95
Your MAVOTE.ZIP should contain the following files:
MAVOTE.PPE - MAVOTE Main Program
MAUSER.PPE - MAVOTE Optional Logon screen door
MAVOTE.DOC - MAVOTE Documentation
MAVOTE.CFG (Sample) - MAVOTE Sample Configuration
The MAVOTE.PPE is specially designed for smaller PcBoard BBSes in the 2 to 4
node range. MAVOTE.PPE requires the Callers Notes PSA. MAVOTE.PPE
currently supports up to 20 voting questions.
Simply place this program in your CMD.LST, use a easy command like VOTE
or VT or something...
To use the companion program MAUSER.PPE, simply place this line in your
logon script questionaire (located in the PCB Setup):
!C:\PCB\PPL\MAUSER.PPE
(or wherever your MAUSER.PPE is located)
MAUSER allows you to let users actually recieve voting notification if
they have not voted. A helpful tool in getting users to vote. It also
gives the option of turning the notification off (which is reactivated
the next time they vote).
DISCLAIMER:
MAVOTE v1.1 is freeware, go ahead and distribute it, I don't care where
it winds up, just don't blame the sysop for any bad vibes the program
pushes upon your system. Moon Angel is not responsible for any
software/hardware damage this program may cause you.
Description of MAVOTE.CFG:
60 Security for adding questions
110 Security for removing questions
110 Security for editing questions

Moon Angel Systems BBS Name of your BBS

the run of MAUSER.PPE)
Upgrades to v1.1 07/10/94 -
MAUSER.PPE is added, now you may notify your users on their voting
status and prompt them to vote at every logon. The user may also
deactivate the MAUSER.PPE at any time for their logons.
Voting questions that have not been voted upon are seen with a '*'
placed next to them. In ANSI color mode, non-voted questions are
bright, while voted questions are dark.
Stacked commands to allow more space for questions, newer versions
will be more compact visually to allow more questions to fit on screen.
Upgrades to v1.2 10/17/94 -
* Changed percentage calculations to integers (instead of real numbers)
for a less cluttered percentage of votes variable.
* Voting answers table information is now evenly distributed.
Its much easier to read now!
* Bug Fix: MAVOTE.DAT read/write scheme changed for multi-node performance.
Upgrades to v1.3 10/17/94 -
* If MAVOTE.DAT does not exist, MAVOTE will automatically create one!
Upgrades to v1.4Z 10/20/94 -
MAJOR UPGRADE
* MAVOTE now uses random file access instead of sequential file access
for tip top Z-Z-Z speed! You should now find MAVOTE and MAUSER
program speeds quicker than most voting PPE's on the market!
* Quick conversion of your old MAVOTE.DAT to the newer MAVOTE.BIN. The
conversion process begins the first time you run MAVOTE 1.4Z.
* Creates MAVOTE.BIN if it does not exist.
Upgrades to v1.4Za 10/20/94 -
* Bug Fix - Something to do with "Your vote was:" display.
Upgrades to v1.4Zb 11/27/94 -
* Bug Fix - A problem with MAUSER checking the adding new questions
security level as an entrance security. Checking bug has been
removed. If you do not wish to have a login notification system,
simply do not place MAUSER.PPE in your login script questionaire.
Upgrades to v1.5Za 01/08/95 -
* Added a new editor for question and answer editing.
