LastCallers v8.2
For C-Net Amiga ** v3.04+ **
Written by Ray Akey (AKA Heavy Metal)
This is an enhanced Last 10 callers program for C-Net Amiga.
Current Changes (v8.5)
----------------------
1. LastCallers now uses a method of mutual exclusion so that when one port is
updating LastCallers data, another cannot access it until the port owning
the lock frees it. This fixes the previous crashing problem and also the
rare but annoying problem that corrupted LastCallers data files.
2. Network calls are now logged using "LastCallersNet". LastCallersNet
is a DOS program that updates the LastCallers data file with the network
node's NODE NUMBER, CONNECT BAUDRATE and PORT NUMBER.
The syntax of the LastCallersNet program is as follows:
LastCallersNet NODENUMBER BAUDRATE PORTNUMBER
Here is an example TRAPDOOR aftersession script that also runs CNet Toss:
=============== contents of Mail:AfterSession.script ===================
.key NODENUMBER,BAUDRATE
.bra {
.ket }
if {NODENUMBER}
LastCallersNet {NODENUMBER} {BAUDRATE} 1
endif
TOSS verbosity 1
================ end of sample script ==============
If you install an eftersession script, don't forget to add the following
line to your trapdoor.cfg:
AFTERSESSION "c:runback >NIL: c:EXECUTE Mail:AfterSession.script %n %B"
note: Trapdoor expands the %n in the line above to the calling node's
node number.
Trapdoor also expands the %B to the calling node's CONNECT baud-
rate.
Changes v8.4
------------
1. Added "LastCallersScr" to systext: so that status displays and the newly
added "records" could be set up for optimum viewing. Also see Line 61 and
62 of LastCallersText.
LastCallersScr (default filename; configurable in LastCallersText) is a
crude script file that is capable of ALL CNet MCI/ANSI commands PLUS an
added bonus of parsing ALL of the variables that LastCallers uses, via
tokens. Anything in curly braces {} is considered a LastCallers token and
will be removed and converted, if valid, to LastCallers tokens. CTRL-Q
and CTRL-Y begin, of course, CNet MCI commands.
LastCallersScr is parsed and displayed in either of two places, your
choice; BEFORE the last x callers are displayed or after. If you want it
displayed before, put the name of the text/script file on line 61 of
LastCallersText. To have the text displayed after the last callers, put
the filename, of the file to display, on line 62. You can use both if
you wish. If you want NOTHING displayed before or after the last callers
leave lines 61 and 62 of LastCallersText blank.
2. Added "RECORD" variables. The new token names and their appropriate
arguments are listed below.
NOTE: A few of these new tokens accept a THIRD argument. When a third
argument is required, it is used as in the following example:
{REC_DAYCALLSD %8.8s 1}
The third argument, above, is the "1" before the closing brace. With
DATE oriented tokens, the third argument will be your signal to
LastCallers that you wish to use the SHORT date format. A "2" as
the third argument tells the program that you want the LONG date
format. Other token uses for this newly implemented third argument
may be added in the future.
TOKEN/Explanation C Formatter Third Argument & options
------------------- -------------- -----------------------------
REC_DAYCALLS %s NONE
Record Calls/day
REC_DAYCALLSD %s 1 = SHORT (DD-MM-YY) date
Record Calls/Date 2 = LONG (DD-MON-YY) date
This is the date
the record was acheived
REC_UPFILE %s NONE
Record Upfiles
REC_UPFILED %s 1 = SHORT (DD-MM-YY) date
Record UpFiles/Date 2 = LONG (DD-MON-YY) date
REC_UPK %s NONE
Record Up KBytes
REC_UPKD %s 1 = SHORT (DD-MM-YY) date
Record UpK/Date 2 = LONG (DD-MON-YY) date
REC_DOWNFILE %s NONE
Record Down'd files
REC_DOWNFILED %s 1 = SHORT (DD-MM-YY) date
Record DownFiles/Date 2 = LONG (DD-MON-YY) date
REC_DOWNK %s NONE
Record Down'd KBytes
REC_DOWNKD %s 1 = SHORT (DD-MM-YY) date
Record DownK/Date 2 = LONG (DD-MON-YY) date
REC_MINSON %s NONE

REC_MINSOND %s 1 = SHORT (DD-MM-YY) date
Record Minutes/Date 2 = LONG (DD-MON-YY) date
REC_CALLS %s NONE
Record Calls
REC_CALLSD %s 1 = SHORT (DD-MM-YY) date
Record Calls Date 2 = LONG (DD-MON-YY) date

Record Private Messages
REC_PRIMSGD %s 1 = SHORT (DD-MM-YY) date
Record PriMsg Date 2 = LONG (DD-MON-YY) date
Changes v8.2
-------------
1. VERBOSE mode got some needed internal attention.
2. Fixed NOLOGMAINTUSER and LOGMAINTUSER keywords: were not being recognized
properly.
3. sysdata:LastCallersText2 line 46 was displayed for ALL gfx/termwidth types
rather than choosing the proper line (45-50). Thanks to PMK on Future
World for this bug report.
4. New token types for LastCallersText2:
{ONTIME %s}
{ONDATE %s}
{OFFTIME %s}
{OFFDATE %s}
5. {CALLSTODAY} is now a string type, so the following format is correct:
{CALLSTODAY %s}
Changes v8.1
-----------
1. {REALNAME} added to the list of possible tokens available for
LASTCALLERSTEXT2.
2. The following configuration keywords added. The following is an exact
duplicate of explanation for each as found in Last10.cfg:
VERBOSE -> Verbose (debug) output to user's screen
this option only works if the user has
SYSOP MAINT - otherwise ignored
NOLOGID x -> Don't log account x
NOLOGNAME x -> don't log handle x
NOLOGACCESS x -> don't log access x
;----------- -> SHOWNUM x -> Show last x callers (this is also used to
;IF USED, -> determine the number of entries logged to
;THESE THREE -> Last10.data.
;OPTIONS MUST-> ADJUST x -> Adjust users TermLength by this number
;EXIST IN -> (added to facilitate other mods to text)
;LAST10.CFG -> Increase or decrease until Top Ten fits
;IN THIS -> on user's screen when using USETERMLEN
;ORDER! -> default ADJUST = 11.
;----------- -> USETERMLEN -> Use the user's TERMLENGTH to determine
;----------- -> number of last callers to display
NOTE: "SHOWNUM x" will always be used to set the number of entries that
will be logged into the last ten data. For this reason, if SHOWNUM
is not configured, the user will see ONLY the last ten callers by
default as that is how many callers will be logged to last 10 data
in that case. Also note that the USETERMLEN option must exist
before (above) the SHOWNUM x option in this cfg file, if that option
is used. Also if "ADJUST x" is to be used, it must exist above
USETERMLEN.
ie. If SHOWNUM 40 is set, and a user's terminal length is set
to 23, the user may only see the last 19 callers but 40 entries
will actually exist in the Last10.data
Changes v8.0

| c formatting specifier
variable name
Your variable name MUST be enclosed in braces.
More about C formatting specifiers:
You may also use any of the following formats for your C specifiers
%12s Means print the variable as a STRING in a field
of 12 characters RIGHT justified and padded with
spaces.
%-12s Means print the variable as a STRING in a field
of 12 characters LEFT justified and padded with
spaces
%12.11s Means print the variable as a STRING in a field
of 12 characters RIGHT justified and padded with
spaces and if the string is longer than 11
characters, truncate it at the 11th character
%5d print the variable as an integer in a field of
width 5.
%4ld Print the variable as a LONG integer in a field
of width 4. If you are getting strange values
with %d, try %ld
If you have any suggestions on other variables you would like to see
added or if you have suggestions, please let me know.
Changes v7.4
------------
1. LastCallers now logs the last callers from bottom to top.
The last caller is displayed at the TOP of the last 10 display.
2. NOLOGMAINTUSER fixed. Previously, this did not work properly.
Changes v7.2
------------
1. Small bug fix involving display of file/byte stats.
2. Recompiled with CNet v3.04 headers
Changes from v7.1
------------------
1. Can now be used in ANY CLI/Shell -> Caller info only displayed. No
system stats are yet available here.
No last caller data is updated.
Changes from V7.0
-----------------
1. Now PURE. Both modules can be made resident.
Use "RESIDENT PFILES:LASTCALLERS PFILES:LASTCALLERS"
and "RESIDENT PFILES:LASTCALLERSUPDATE PFILES:LASTCALLERSUPDATE"
in your startups to make either of these programs resident.
2. It is Now possible to turn OFF/ON sysop account logging and
any other maint (SYSOP MAINTENANCE priviledge) user.
To use these options, create the file SYSDATA:LAST10.CFG and place
any of the following keywords in that file:
NOLOGSYSOP -> Turns OFF (disbales) logging of account #1 to
last 10.
LOGSYSOP -> Turns ON (enables) logging of account #1 in last
10.
NOLOGMAINTUSER -> Turns OFF logging of any users with MAINT (except
account #1).
LOGMAINTUSER -> Turns ON logging of maint users (except account
#1).
NOTE: any commented lines must BEGIN with a semi-colon (;).
an example LAST10.CFG has been provided.
Changes from 6.0
----------------
1. Major changes (again) for this version. You must (if they exist) delete:
SYSDATA:LAST10.DATA
&
SYSDATA:LAST10.STAT
2. A few DAILY items are kept track of now also:
1: Calls today.
2: Upload Files Today.
3: Upload KB Today.
4: Dload Files Today.
5: Dload KB Today.
All of these "daily" variables are reset each day, after midnight when
"LastCallersUpdate" is next ran.
3. All text is still capable of being edited so I will leave you here. Make sure
you read the "Changes from 5.0" below the sample output, if you are running
a version that doesn't include the LastCallersUpdate program.
5. The display has been COMPLETELY reworked this time allowing more important
info to be displayed for each last caller. Here is a sample output (sans
colour of course and using IBM GFX):

Changes from 5.0
----------------
1. Almost all text is now external, in two files:
systext:lastcallerstext
&
systext:lastcallers.msg
"lastcallers.msg" is just a menu type TEXT file that explains what the
"action" flags mean.
"lastcallerstext" is the file which contains the actual graphics
and text/C formatting that is seen when LastCallers is viewed. Edit this
file if you wish to customize the Last callers display. There are
graphics sections for 40/80 column ASCII, 40/80 column C64 GFX, and 40/80
column IBM GFX. The first is IBM, 2nd is CBM and the last but not least,
ASCII.
2. The action flags - These are a set of 9 letters which stand for the
following things which a user has done while online:
D = Downloaded
U = Uploaded
M = Left a message (Mail, Post, Response)
P = Paged Sysop
C = Lost Carrier
N = Normal Logoff
3. The main display is updated at login, so that the user appears in
the lastcallers display, in the correct order of logins. To facilitate
the updating of the caller display, and to incorporate any actions that
a user performs while online, the program "LastCallersUpdate" has been
written. This C-Net Pfile must be configured to run when a user logs off.
To do this, add the following command to line 99 of BBSTEXT:
#2pfiles:LastCallersUpdate}
^
|
CTRL-Q
Operation:
----------
The display is nicely formatted and displays correctly for all terminal types
and graphics settings of C-Net Amiga.. It is an all-in-one program where there
is nothing for you to create. Everything (creation of the data file, updating
last 10 and displaying last 10) is done in a single program.
Installation:
-------------
1. Copy LastCallers & LastCallersUpdate to your Pfiles.
2. add the following text to your SYSTEM:SYS.WELCOME file or another location
where you would like it displayed.. possibly BBSTEXT but be careful
where you put it as in some areas of BBSTEXT, the user's handle is not
know and will show in the Top Ten as <Logon>. If you put it in
sys.welcome, it is guaranteed to work FLAWLESSLY.
\#2pfiles:LastCallers\
3. Add the following text to line 99 of BBSTEXT:
#2pfiles:LastCallersUpdate}
^
|
CTRL-Q
3. That's it.. When the file is run for the first time, it will create the
data file and keep it updated on succesive calls.
