INTRODUCTION
------------
What is TriRomDown? It's a download bulletin generator. TriRD is
actually meant for the TriBBS / RomBrain combo. TriRomDown can still be
used with just TriBBS though. Some of the features of TriRomDown are:
1. Two different types of bulletin output. The first type will display all
of the info on the file. Such as Filename, What CD-ROM it was downloaded
off of, and how many times it has been downloaded. The second display
type will just list the filename, and how many times it has been
downloaded. But, it lists the filename three columns wide. So you
can see at a glance which file have been downloaded.
2. You can pick how many times a file has been downloaded before it is
displayed on the bulletin generated by TriRomDown.
3. You can mask certain CD's from showing up on your download listing.
(Only in the registered version)
TriRomDown must be run in your between.bat and is as easy to run
as the following. TriRD can be run from any directory you choose.
BETWEEN.BAT

cd tribbs

3 LINE: number of times a file must be download to be included in the
TriRD bulletin.
4 LINE: Which display type do you want ... can only be 1 or 2.
1 - Long type ... includes filename, CD-ROM name and times DL'ed.
2 - Short type ... only filename and time DL'ed but is 3 columns
wide.
5 LINE and every line following are the name of the CD-ROM disks you want to
be excluded from your TriRD bulletin output. If there are none that
you wish to mask put N O N E on the 5th line or TriRD will not work.
If you wish to mask hard drive downloads put harddrive in lowcase
letters and all harddrive downloads will be excluded. If you want
RomBrain requests excluded from the listing put () in the cfg.
