This programm contains the following files :
DLC.DOC This documentation file.
DLC.EXE The download counter program.
DLCSETUP.EXE The program to specifie you're paths ed.
DLTOPX.EXE The download TopXX generator.
TOPCOLOR.EXE The SetUp programm for the TOPX ansi colors.
PROTOCOL.DLC The file in witch the protocol specifications are stored.
DLC is spread under the SHAREWARE concept. This means that you only may
EVALUATE this copy, and if you want to continue using it after the
evaluation period, you HAVE to register. Then you'll get a Key, so you can
simple register it you're self. If you want to register, fill out the
registerform (DLCFORM.REG) and sent it to me with a check included. Then
you will get the KEY by netmail as soon as possible!!!
DLC is a utility for GT. it is compatible with GT 15.0 Upto 15.50. It
has been written, to add a counter in the description of you're
FILES.BBS files, witch counts the times the described file has been
downloaded. It will get it's information from the GT.LOG file, and searches
for GTDIR.BBS to locate you're FILES.BBS files. The best result will be
reached, if you run DLC Right before you run FIXBBS or somthing like
that, because it will ONLY edit the ASCII files, and not the Colored
Ansi files...!!
Before starting up one of the DLC files, you first have to add a line :
SET DLC = DLCPath
to you're autoexec.bat file, In this DLCPath directory you have to
store : DLC.EXE and DLTOPX.EXE so the programms can locate the it's files.
On the following pages, eatch of the programms will be explained
seperately.
-DLCSETUP.EXE
This is the Setup programm. You have to specifie all you're paths,
filenames and other values here. here follow a little explanation of
the therms used.
FilePaths ─┬─> BBS DirFile ──> Enter here the path where GTDIR.BBS is
│ located.

(Default is TRUE)
-DLC.EXE
This is the main programm. It INSERTS a counter in the FILES.BBS files,
found in the GTDIR.BBS file. Every time a file is downloaded, the counter
will increment one. There are two possible parameters to use with DLC.
/R This option will remove the DownLoadCounters from you're FILES.BBS
files.
/C This option will Clear the DownLoadCounters from you're FILES.BBS
file. In other words: all you're counters will be set to [ 0].
DLC can handel 1500 files at one time. If there are more files found in
the GT LogFile, DLC will exit with Error lvl 8, and you'll have to restart
DLC to count the rest of the files. (see the last page for more Error
Levels.)
DLC will keep a LogFile (DLC.LOG), whitch will be larger
every time DLC is used. If you think it's to long, just delete it.
It will also create a DLC.DAT file. in this file the last read line of
the GT.LOG file is stored, so it can continue at that line, the next
time DLC is run.
-DLTOPX.EXE
This programm wil create a TopX of the XX mostly downloaded files.
If you havn't registered yet, You won't be able to create an other top as
the Top15. If you're DLC is registered, you can specify the TopX length
by a parameter. this parameter must be in the range 10..254.
Example : DLTOPX 30
This will generate a Top30.
-PROTOCOL.DLC
This is a file in whitch you have to specifie the protocolls you're using
with GT. There are a vieuw protocolls witch already have been
specified. if you are using others, or it doesn't work well, you have
to specifie these protocolls here.
The structure of the file is as follows :
FILEPOS ─────────────────┐
FILECOUNT ──────────┐ │
LINES ──────────┐ │ │
NAMEPOS ───┐ │ │ │
PROTOCOL │ │ │ │
───────── ── ─ ─── ──
ZMODEM 15 M 26 17
JMODEM 15 M 26 17
YMODEM-G 15 M 28 17
KERMIT 15 M 26 17
LYNX 15 M 24 17 ; This text will be ignored.
TX: 17 S 0 21 ; the TX: is used for BIMODEM.
Where :
PROTOCOL = The EXACT name of the protocol, stored in the GT Log
file. This name has to be on the same line as the
TX: sign.
NAAMPOS = The position of the Protocol name.
LINES = Wheter or not the protocoll stores the TX: sign on the
same line as the downloaded file names.
(Use S for Single Line, M for Multi Line)
FILECOUNT = The position of the number of downloaded files. in the
GT LogFile This option is only used if Lines = M. else
set it to 0.
FILEPOS = The position of the Downloaded filename in the GT
LogFile.
Here follows a little example of the GT LogFile. :
Protocol = ZMODEM ; Naampos = 17 ; Lines = M ; FileCount = 26
│ ┌───────┘ ┌──────────────────────┘
1-28 24:13 └ ZMODEM TX: 2 FILES 248341 BYTES 0:17.58 TIME 230 CPS
1-28 24:13 BENCH50.EXE 210073
1-28 24:13 CORE29.COM 38268
│
FilePos = 17 ──┘
If you have still problems with specifying you're protocolls corectly, please
sent me a NetMail with a part of you're LogFile, and I'll see what I can do
for you.
-TOPCOLOR.EXE
This programm is to SetUp the colors of to TOPX Ansi files.
Use the Arrow keys to move though the windows, the Escape to quit a
window and the Enter key to edit or select an option. You have to run
this, before using DLTOPX.EXE
-ErrorLevels.
Here follows the ErrorLevels witch the programms will exit with, if
something goes wrong.
0 = Exit whitout an error.
1 = directory not found, specified in the SET command.
2 = SET DLC= not found in the environment.
3 = DLC.CNF file not found.
4 = GTDIR.BBS file not found.
5 = GT.LOG file not found.
6 = PROTOCOL.DLC Error.
7 = No changes in the LogFile since last run of DLC.
8 = More then 1500 downloaded files found in the GT LogFile
9 = TOPX.CNF file not found.
I hope you've enough information right now, to use DLC.
Enjoy it, and good luck!!!
