THT-Matrix v1.00 - v2.26
If anyone needs a Newer Copy of these PPE's Call <<THT>>
the number's are in these Doc's.
Most Prompts are Definable though the MATRIX.CFG
file it also has the capablity to run DOS,LightBar or Random
Matrix's the LightBar Matrix also has another .CFG file that lets
the Program know what screen it is using and where to position
the LightBar on the screen. The LightBar Matrix displays Random
Screens I have three of them in this Archive. Also just finished
the NewUser Checking utility it's internal in the Matrix but need's
it's own config file called CHECK.CNF Also included a External version
for the Sysop's that don't RUN Matrix!!!!!

After this is done it is nessecary to Nul out PCBTEXT Record 260 & 148!!
The Matrix will take care of input of the User's Login Name and Password
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Second Method of Installation is to Enter one line at the end of the
Welcome Screen Something like this -----> !C:\MATRIX\MATRIX.PPE

At this point if you have your Editor Setup to run you can just hit the F2 key
To edit the Welcome Screen.
Also it is a good idea to put an "I" in the Command list
with nothing for the Command itself. This keeps User's from running the
Matrix a Second time since it's been setup in the Welcome Screen!!
The Matrix.cfg file has all the explination to what each entry is
and what it's for.
The NewUser Apps well this one is Self Explanitory I hope! It checks
to see if the USER's name is in the USERS file and if not then it asks
if they want to Continue if the user types "C" then Goes to the Internal
NewUser Screens for Applicatio information that is used By PCBoard.
The next time the NewUser calls and checks for access the checking
Utility that is built into Matrix will show them there voting stats
if the user hasn't been voted in or there security is not high enough
then it tells him that his account has not been Validated and to try
back later.
Now for the Registration Info!!!
If you want to Register this PPE and all supporting PPE's
Which I hope some of you Do.
Then send me The Sysop's Name as it is in your PCBOARD.DAT
and the Board Name as it is in your PCBOARD.DAT.
Your name mailing address and your Board Name & Number
Along with a one time Registration fee of $20.00 US cash only!!!!!
Also do not try to remove or change the UNREGISTERED part of this ppe
if you do it will not run at all!!!.
READ THE MATRIX.HIS FOR ALL CHANGES THAT HAVE BEEN MADE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Added another PPE to the PKG this one is for the sysop so that
if he Registers a user into the Board Manually then he can take
this users name out of the WAITING file so no one will see them
in the NUV. This ppe is called PURGE.PPE it must be in the same Sub
as the REST of the PPE's. Then the Sysop must put PURGE.PPE in his
CMD.LST so that he may run it from the Board.
