LASTFEW
Here is the usual disclaimer: This program is written by Steve Davis
of the Boarding House BBS. You use it at your own risk. It something
goes wrong, it is your problem, not mine.
LASTFEW is a Starnet (or MEBBSNet) door.
Call it from a menu something like this:
;
Option 'R':
Function rundoor doors:lastfew
end
; this assumes that lastfew is in a directory named DOORS
; and that is probably what you have in a Starnet (or MEBBSNet) system.
There must be a LASTFEW.CFG file in the same directory as LASTFEW.
That file contains five lines of text. The first is echoed to the
Starnet screen when LASTFEW is executed.
The next line contains the number of names to grab from the end
of CALL.DAT. The next three lines are names which will _NOT_
be shown on the screen as recent callers.

LASTFEW does a small service for the MEBBSNet/Starnet system operator.
It truncates the CALL.DAT file to the number of lines defined in the
second line of the LASTFEW.CFG file as shown above. You don't have
to delete CALL.DAT because a single call to LASTFEW shortens what
otherwise could become a very long textfile.
====================================================================
LASTFEW is one of those Starnet doors which does work well with
MEBBSNet, providing an assignment for the Starnet: device is
correctly made, and the StarDoor Interpreter is running.
Here is how to do it in your sys:s/User-Startup text file .....
After you assign MEBBSNet:
assign MEBBSNet: Work:MEBBSNet
then do the following assignment
assign StarNet: MEBBSNet:
and then, after you have MEBBSBase running, start the interpreter
mebbsnet:c/stardoorinterp
and then have LASTFEW and LASTFEW.CFG in your mebbsnet:doors/ directory.
This program, and several other DOOR programs for Starnet, will eventually
be totally rewritten for MEBBSNet. But this one works as is. It is running
now on my MEBBSNet BBS,
