So whats new with PIGGY251????
o This is a small bug release. For all the sysops that were
using the byte ratio, the bulletin would only show up to 4
decimal places the uploads and downloads in the bulletins.
Althought the ratios wrer be computed correctly it appeared
that the ratios were wrong. For example if the user had
downloaded 32123 kilobytes the bulletin would show downloaded
kilobytes as 3212. I have expanded this to 5 places.
o Well for starters PIGGY251 now supports all versions of GT15??,
and gt1600 including GT1550.
o By request of several users the names of "PIGGIES" are immediately
added to the PIGGY bulletin instead of the one run wait. However
once the user has uploaded a file and regained an acceptable ratio
the user's name remains on the PIGGY bulletin for one run. This
allows the sysop to verify that the upload is acceptable.
o I have also added a QUICK mode. This is only available to
registered users. It is enabled by adding /Q to the PIGGY
command line. The quick mode can be used in your GTLOGOFF.BAT.
This will check the ratio of the currently logged on user only.
The purpose of this is to prevent "real pigs" from logging on
several times in one day and they and avoiding the the PIGGY
program in the nightly maintance batch. The QUICK mode can
upgrade or downgrade a user the same as the regular maintance
run, however, no reports are generated. This mode is much quicker
since it only checks the one user's ratio.
NOTE: If you use the QUICK mode in the GTLOGOFF.BAT, be sure to
add commands to the batch file to change to the \GT directory,
so that PIGGY251.EXE can find the files it needs (when run
from GTLOGOFF.BAT, the default directory is usually NOT the \GT
directory):
ECHO OFF
D:
CD \GT
PIGGY251 /Q
Although PIGGY251 program has been tested, please play safe and make a back-up
of your USER.CTL file, which lists all your users and their access levels.
