- What is it?
- ~~~~~~~~~~~
- PCBUpDn is a PCBoard utility program that reads Download.Txt (a log of
- PCBoard upload/download activity) and creates (or appends to) a dBASE
- III-compatible .dbf/.dbt file sorted by user name. Then, it creates
- a text file showing the contents of the database file in a format like
- this:
-

- AMECHE, DON Last on 10/21/89 Uplds = 0 Dnlds = 3

- Here is the structure of the data file it creates:
-
- Structure for database : PCBUPDN.DBF
- Number of data records : 630
- Date of last update : 1/22/90
- Field Field Name Type Width Dec
- 1 NAME Character 20 (Lastname, Firstname)
- 2 LASTON Date 8
- 3 NUMUPLD Numeric 5
- 4 NUMDNLD Numeric 5
- 5 UPLD Memo 10
- 6 DNLD Memo 10
- ** Total ** 59
-
-
- For you dBASE enthusiasts, the Memo fields Upld and Dnld contain the
- file activity of each user. This is the data file used to generate
- the report.
-
-
- How to Use
- ~~~~~~~~~~
-
- Syntax: PCBUpDn [<name of Download.txt file>]
-
- where name may include a path. If you invoke the program
- without a filename, it will look for DOWNLOAD.TXT in the
- default subdirectory.
-
- Examples: 1) PCBUpDn d:\pcb\download.txt
- 2) PCBUpDn
-
-
- Files Used or Created
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- PCBUpDn.Dbf -- the dBASE III-compatible database
- PCBUpDn.Dbt -- dBASE III-compatible memo field file
- PCBUpDn.Fdx -- Index file (may be deleted after the run)
- PCBUpDn.Txt -- The report file shown above.
-
- The program will create any file it needs if it can't find them.
- All files will be written in the default directory.
-
- Note: Due to the inefficient way that dBASE III & compatibles
- handle memo fields, this program would need a very large amount
- of scratch space, sometimes 10 times the size of Download.txt.
- This may or may not be fixed in the next release (if ever).
-
-
- Notes
- ~~~~~
- The program was written in Force, the compiler that was born when
- C and dBASE got married. Force is marketed by Sophco of Boulder, CO.
-
- If you have any suggestions for improving the program, leave a
- message on my BBS, 301-251-9206, Hayes V.42.
