TopDL v1.0 - by Michael Glew
Introduction
~~~~~~~~~~~~
TopDL was inspired by the Top-10 like options on other BBS systems. A few
were seen for MAXs BBS but none ever worked. I was originally going to
make it work as a door (par se) but due to difficulties decided on making
it a logout utility. TopDL checks bbs:logfiles/dnloadlog.text for all the
files downloaded, and forms a list of the files and the associated download
counts in memory - then with the user definable output text file, creates
a custom display screen.
Usage
~~~~~
Create a directory doors:TopDL and place all the files in here. In the script
file called on logoff, include the line:
doors:topdl/topdl
Then the file bbs:text/topdl.text is created using doors:topdl/topdl.text
and doors:topdl/topdl.upd
doors:topdl/topdl.text is the basic setout of the screen, and
doors:topdl/topdl.upd is the positions where the information is placed on
the screen. '%' represents where the filename goes and '&' is where the
count goes... The order in which the characters are read is the order in
which the top downloads will be listed... eg.
% & % &
% & % &
would give
#1filename #1count #2filename #2count
#3filename #3count #4filename #4count
or
% &
% &
gives
#1filename #1count
#2filename #2count
anyway, looking at the existing file will be easier than me talking about
it..
Theoretically this will handle any number of top downloads, although I have
only tested the top-10.
