Notes on release 5.00 of DLCOUNT:
This release of DLCOUNT adds support for incremental update of counts
(after each user). If you choose to operate in this mode, you should
remove it from the daily/monthly/? batch where you may have it now.
Failure to do so will result in DOUBLE counting. The log "memory" is
provided by a small file LASTDLC.DAT which should not be renamed or
relocated. If you wish to continue running this program on a daily
basis, you should delete this file before you begin processing each run.
Users who use the incremental approach should delete this file each time
the log file is deleted.
To aid those who wish to convert from "end of line counts" to "front of
line' counts, I have included a conversion utility which will read your
Maximus AREAS.CTL file and reformat the counts to the front of the
description.
******** -> WARNING <- ********
This Conversion program is a one time use only program! If you run it a
second time you will be VERY sorry. As a hedge, it will create a
FILES.BAK for you and it will not erase it when it finishes. It will
erase it if you run it a second time! Please check the resulting
converted files very carefully, before throwing the .BAK away. You may
have to restore the old Files.BBS!
