POPULAR(1) FNORDADEL BBS SOFTWARE POPULAR(1)
NAME
popular.tos - print room popularity statistics and stuff
SYNOPSIS
popular [-am[s{zbp}]]
DESCRIPTION
Popular is an ancient feeping creaturism, essentially. It
scans the user log and room data, and compiles a table show-
ing how many people have forgotten which public rooms.
Popular expects to be run from the directory containing
ctdltabl.sys.
OPTIONS
-a Count all* rooms, not just public ones. Useful only
with the -m option.
-m Count the number of messages in each room. This will
make popular scan the entire message base in order to
determine the number of messages in each room.
-s{zbp}
Sort the output according to the sub-argument speci-
fied.
z - Sort by % of users forgetting the room
p - Sort by # of messages in the room
b - Sort by both
The default behaviour is 'p'.
NOTES
With Fnordadel 1.30 and higher, the message base scan is
somewhat redundant, and will be done away with some day. We
have left it in so far partly as a sanity check for the room
files (to make sure they're recording the proper number of
messages in themselves), and partly out of laziness.
FILES
popular.tos The room popularity tabulator.
#sysdir\ctdlmsg.sys The message base.
#sysdir\ctdllog.sys The user log.
ctdltabl.sys The system tables file.

AUTHORS
Popular was, we think, originally written by Hue, Jr., for
Citadel-86.
It was modified by David Parsons for STadel.
It was further modified and enhanced by Adrian Ashley and
Royce Howland for Fnordadel.
