1.0: Original PPE, Written by Rob Westbrook,
     I've included the source to v1.0 in this archive as A_POST10.PPS

2.0: Updated by Jesse Keene, August 23rd, 1995
      -Source code cleaned up, put source into SubRoutines
      -Modified look of autopost display - added full borders
      -Fixed "/A" to Abort entry bug where it was only
       Accepting an uppercase "/A" (exact match), now it
       will accept "/a" as well as "/A"
      -Added support for Alias names, tests if alias PSA
       is installed and if user has an alias, if so uses
       the user's alias name for the post, otherwise it
       uses their real name
      -Added a BADUSERS.DAT file, if the user is in the
       BADUSERS.DAT file, they will be unable to post an
       autopost.

2.1: August 27th, 1995
      -v2.0 used GoSub calls for all of the subroutines.
       v2.1 no longer uses GoSub calls, the source has been
       changed to use FUNCTIONs and PROCEDUREs instead,
       giving the source a better structure.
      -The header information for all of the posts has been
       improved:
         -Converts the posters name to have the First Letters
          capitalized, with the rest in lowercase
         -Now displays: Day of the Week, Month/Date, Time - in words
         -The time gets converted to 12h (am/pm) before displayed
      -Now when an autopost is blank, it is not displayed
      -Added a Delete Post feature for sysops

2.2: August 30th, 1995
      -Added a Preview Autopost feature
         -Now displays a "(S)ave, (E)dit, (N)ew, (A)bort" prompt,
         -Removed "/A" command for aborting the autopost; replaced
          with the Save/Edit/New/Abort prompt.
      -Minor bug fix, in 2.1 would display the autoposts twice if user
       was found in BADUSERS.DAT, because of calling the Final() procedure,
       I caught this looking at the code right after u/l'ing 2.1 to Salt Air

2.5: October 10th, 1995
      -v2.5 is all of the improvements that I have made over the last month,
       'perfecting' the PPE - this will most likely be the last release.
      -If a user places PCBoard macros in their autopost, the macros will
       now get stripped before their post is displayed... anything that
       has @ signs around it with everything inbetween being capital letters,
       numbers, or a colon (:) will get stripped.
       (PCBoard @X color codes don't get stripped)
      -Added a AUTOPOST.CFG file
         -The setting for the minimum security level to delete autoposts is
          now in the AUTOPOST.CFG file, instead of the source code
         -Added a log autopost feature - if enabled, each time a user posts
          an autopost the autopost will be logged to the AUTOPOST.LOG file.
         -Added a setting that allows the posts to be displayed in either
          ascending or descending order.
      -Added a LightBar Yes/No prompt

2.6: October 29th, 1995
       Looks like v2.5 wasn't the last release, after all ;-)
      -Added Locking of PPE use (for multinode systems)
         -This is to avoid multinode problems, as having two users enter
          the PPE at the same time could cause potential problems.
         -If Enabled (in AUTOPOST.CFG), the PPE will create a semaphore
          file to flag that the PPE is currently in use.  If this semaphore
          file is found when the PPE is first run, the PPE will terminate,
          notifying the user that Autopost is in use on another node.
      -Changed it so that the user must have ANSI color enabled (not just
       ANSI positioning) for the Lightbar Yes/No prompt to get used.
       This way users who have ANSI positioning, but not color, won't get
       the [Yes] [No] prompt, since the color gets stripped and they
       couldn't tell which was currently selected.
      -Added a Header Type option in AUTOPOST.CFG
         -Settings are:
      (0) Poster's Name only
      (1) Print Date/Time in "Date: 10-25-95  Time: 12:00pm" format
      (2) Print Date/Time in Worded format "Wednesday, October 25, 12:00pm"
          Before, it would just display the header in Worded Format ...

2.61: November 11th, 1995
      -Modified the locking routine so that the semaphore file to indicate
       autopost is in use now uses the node # as the extention,
       (instead of $INUSE.TMP, it would now be $INUSE.3 if run on node 3)
         -This allows it get to deleted through the $$LOGOFF.BAT file, making
          sure that it *Always* gets deleted after someone logs off.
      -Optimized the code in a few different places, 

2.62: November 25th, 1995
      -Bug-Fix:
       When a user was in the badusers.dat or had insufficient security,
       the display would always act as if there were no autoposts (oops)
       - FIXED! -
