Introduction
───────────-
TOP FILES is a PCBoard 14.5x utility that will create a bulletin containing
(up to three) columns with the top files downloaded during the last x days.
There is no need for ANS->PCB conversions or any other utility, because the
output file will contain PCBoards @Xxx codes.
Configuration
────────────-
It takes less than a minute to configure TOP FILES. You just need to
set up a configuration file as follows:
New Age BBS ; The BBS's name.
100 ; D/Ls of the last x days, 1st column
30 ; D/Ls of the last x days, 2nd column (*)
7 ; D/Ls of the last x days, 3rd column (*)
10 ; Total TOP FILES per column (1-100)
NOSHARE ; SHARE if you want to share DOWNLOAD.TXT (slower!)
C:\PCB\MAIN\DOWNLOAD.TXT ; Full PATH\NAME to PCBoard's DOWNLOAD.TXT
C:\PCB\GEN\TOPFILES ; Full PATH\NAME for TOP FILES bulletin.
TOTALS ; TOTALS if you want TOTALS, NOTOTALS if not
@X01 ; Box Colors
@X0B ; Title Colors
@X0E ; Column Title Colors
@X0F ; Color for the top-three files
@X0F ; Color for the rest of the files
@X0E ; Color for the totals line
ALLFILES.ZIP ; Filenames to ignore. You have two files
FLAGGED1.ZIP FLAGGED2.ZIP ; to list all the files you don't want to be counted
(*) : Use 0 if you don't want a second or a third column in your bulletin
This file can be created using any ASCII text editor, like DOS' EDIT
Running TOP FILES
────────────────-
You only need to pass the configuration's file name to the program.
The syntax for running TOP FILES is:
TOPFILES [drive][path]filename
The following is a sample output, generated with the sample configuration
file above on my BBS. I removed the color codes to make it suitable for
this text files:
