Quick installation instructions (see PCB docs for specifics):

Creat a separate security level, and a DEMO ACCOUNT for new users. This is
  is the recommended setup for a closed board, but the PPE can be used for
  any security level in an open system.
 
Create the file(s) you want to have available for downloading to the new user.
	- place the file(s) in your DLPATH.LST
	- create an entry in the FSEC file making the file(s) a FREEFILE
 
UnZip the PPE and its accompaning files into a directory.
		- Edit the CFG file to reflect the proper values. It is commented.
		- Edit the LST file to reflect the needed values. It is commented.
		- Edit the display file if you want. This file is displayed when
		  the PPE is executed and can display anything you like. I recommend
		  short and simple, tell the reason you are using the PPE and
		  what it will do. This file can have language and graphic
		  specific variations as well.
 
Now the important part. Create a security specific display file (see
pcboard manual). If your demo/new user security level is 5 create a
file named 5. in the proper directory defined in PCBSETUP.
 
in the file, include the line: "!d:\path\REGREQ.PPE" without quotes.
 
That's it!
 
The PPE will display a list of files you have described in the LST file
and ask the user to toggle the files they want and allow them to download
the selected files. If no files are selected, or the user chooses not
to DL any files, they will be asked if they want information mailed to
them, and if so, will ask their name and address.
If the user DL's files, or requests information, the appropriate message
will be posted to the designated person defined in the CFG file in the
conference defined.

The last thing the PPE does is log the caller off, if selected in the CFG file
preventing any further access to the Board, or passing control to PCBoard
if not selected.
