Hottest Downloads Bulletin Generator 1.0
Copyright (c) 1992 By Mark Goodwin
This program is distributed on the freeware basis. Registered TriBBS
sysops are free to use Hottest Downloads with their TriBBS boards.
Unregistered TriBBS sysops may use Hottest Downloads during their
board's 30 day evaluation period. Any other use of Hottest Downloads
is strictly prohibited.
Hottest Downloads is a simple utility that generates a hottest
downloads bulletin. Hottest Downloads generates both ANSI color
bulletins and monochrome bulletins.
To use Hottest Downloads, you must create a configuration file called
DOWNLOAD.CFG. A sample DOWNLOAD.CFG is included in the ZIP archive.
This file must reside in the same directory as DOWNLOAD.EXE and has
the following format:
Line 1 - Your board's name
Line 2 - The name of the callers log
Line 3 - The name of the monochrome bulletin
Line 4 - The name of the ANSI color bulletin
The following is a sample DOWNLOAD.CFG file:
The Lobster Buoy
c:\tribbs\mwork\callers.log
c:\tribbs\display\bullet6.bbs
c:\tribbs\display\bullet6.ans
In order to update the bulletins after each call, create the
following BETWEEN.BAT file in your board's main directory:
DOWNLOAD
By default, Hottest Downloads only records files that have been
downloaded at least twice in the hottest downloads bulletin. Files
that have only been downloaded once can be included in the bulletin
with the following command line switch:
DOWNLOAD /1
Should you want to create a hottest downloads list for the current
month (or some other time period), simply delete the file DOWNLOAD.DAT
at the beginning of each time period. This will force Hottest
Downloads to start counting all downloads from 0 again.
Support for Hottest Downloads may be obtained by calling The Lobster
Buoy at 207-941-0805.
