I. Introduction.
Do your users log on and complain about constant busy signals, not realizing
you just finished processing a 2MB network packet or 10MB of files from the
Fidonet filebone? LastNet lets them know what the network activity's been!
II. Installation.
LastNet can be run either as a logon event or a standalone program. No matter
which method you use, it must be run from your BBS main directory. It accepts
only two commandline parameters (both optional):
LASTNET <chain.txt> <path to mailer history files>
<chain.txt> is the path and filename to the dropfile created by WWIV.
Most often, this is passed as "%1" from a batch file.
<mailer history> is the path where your mailer's history files are
stored (INBOUND/OUTBOUND.HIS or INBnnn/OUTBnnn.HIS for FD multiline).
The simplest way to run LastNet is as a logon event. Add the following line
to your LOGON.BAT (defined in INIT):
LASTNET %1 <path to Fido mailer history files>
If you would rather create the LASTNET.ANS/LASTNET.MSG files in your GFILES\
directory and display them yourself (using a source code modification), just
add this to your RUN.BAT mailer batch file:
LASTNET <path to mailer history files>
III. Registration.
LastNet is yet another fine Cerebrum product. Cerebrum is a group of loosely
affiliated, but very skilled programmers working to provide creative solutions
for WWIV sysops. (Several of Cerebrum's staff are WWIV support Sites!) Show
your support and keep these high quality Cerebrum products coming!
Registration is only $5.00!
