- Disclaimer - This product was written with PCBoards PPLC language
- version 2.0 and tested on PCBoard 15.1 /e100 running
- on an Intel CPU clone with 600k free memory.
-
- The author makes no claims for fitness of purpose on any
- other software/hardware configuration.
-
-
-
- Comments - Future enhancements will include a Match Maker type
- bio section that allows your callers to look up other
- callers while inside chat.
-
- An optional program that allows you to link your system
- with others in chat is also planned to be release in 1994.
-
-
-
- Warning - Do NOT use the F5 key to drop to dos while a person is
- is in chat.
- Do NOT use the F10 key to go into sysop chat while a
- person is in chat.
- For some reason of the PPL Language when you use one of those
- keys on a persons node who is in chat, then upon returning
- control to the user they no longer are able to chat with
- the others in chat until they exit the Hotchat and re-enter
- it. Something about PCBoard closing out files during swap.
- This is the nature of PPL V2.0 and hope it is corrected in
- PPL v3.0.

- Installation
- --------------
-

-
- 2. Edit Hotcfg to match your BBS. Descriptions of each line
- are inside the file hotcfg.
-
- Line 1 Allow aliases to be displayed if the callers has one.
- 1 = Allow Aliases to display
- 0 = Do not allow aliase to display
- Line 2 Log to caller file 0 = no logging - 1 = log to file

- faster and a higher number cuts down on network traffic.
