Lora Top 10 for OS/2 version 1.02
- Introduction -
Lora Top 10 for OS/2 is the first program I've written for OS/2,
and also the first program I've written in the language C++.
Before I started programming for LoraBBS I was programming for
Spitfire BBS in Pascal. That was a real easy language. Now
I've made the stap to C++, and beleave the, it wasn't easy for
me! I've made this program in more than 12 hours (don't you
dare laugh! <G>), while in Pascal I would have done the same
program in about 4 hours... Anyhow. This is the first program
from me for LoraBBS, and I'm sure it'll be followed by a lot
more programs...
- Usage -
Lora Top 10 for OS/2 is a program that is written to make one
simple bulletin for you. The bulletin created contains a top 10
of the best callers, a top 10 of the best downloaders and a top
10 of the best uploaders. An example of the created bulletins
is added to the package of Lora Top 10 for OS/2 (see the files
LTOP10.ASC and LTOP10.ANS).
To use Lora Top 10 for OS/2, you need to be in the directory
where the file USERS.BBS of your LoraBBS resides. If the
USERS.BBS file is not in the same directory as Lora Top 10 for
OS/2, the program simply won't work.
To let Lora Top 10 for OS/2 create a bulletin, all you need to
do is use one command-line parameter, that points to the main
bulletin file (.ASC and .ANS not included) you want to create.
i.e. LTOP10 C:\LORA\DISPLAY\LTOP10
In this example Lora Top 10 for OS/2 creates the files
LTOP10.ASC and LTOP10.ANS in the directory C:\LORA\DISPLAY.

Lora Top 10 for OS/2 is almost given to you for free. Yes,

- History -
Version 1.02a [Oktober 8, 1995]
*The previous distribution package (LTOP102.ZIP) contained version
1.01 of Lora Header for OS/2. This package is to correct that fault.
Version 1.02 [September 18, 1995]
*Fixed the bug that would display users who had no files uploaded
or downloaded.
*Fixed the bug that caused the (0) to appear without a name when
there were less than 10 users in the userbase, in all three bulletins.
Version 1.01 [July 29, 1995]
*I've added a double ^A after each bulletin screen. Now Lora will
prompt for the <Enter> key to be pressed.
*I've added extra code to the ANSI screen, so that all colors will
restored to default.
Version 1.00 [June 6, 1995]
The very first version of Lora Top 10 for OS/2. It is also the
first program I've written in C++ and my first program written
for OS/2.
