DLCTT * A Top Ten Download Generator for use with DLC, Version 1.03
Copyright (C) 1992,1993 Robert Presland, all rights reserved.
[ Release Info * 8 Feb 93 ]---------------------------------------------------
DLCTT needs DLC v2.32 or later to run which should have been included
in the archive (see below).
[ Bug Reports ]----------------------------------------------------------------
Send bug reports to Robert Presland at 1:243/27, include the following:
DLC.CTL
DLC.LOG (or equivalent)
DLC.STA
Zip 'em up and send 'em off. Many thanks to all that send me reports on
my programs, it's a great help. I welcome all comments and suggestions
to the above node address.
[ So Why Use This Utility? ]---------------------------------------------------
There is no reason to use this utility. It may be handy to post the
most popular files available for download. It's up to you. Consider it
an extra when you get DLC.
Consult DLC.DOC for a complete description of DLC.
[ Archive ]--------------------------------------------------------------------
DLCTT should have come with a complete DLC package, if not f'req DLC from
1:243/27 for the latest version. You need DLC to use DLCTT. You should
get the following files in addition to the DLC package:
DLCTT.DOC This text file
DLCTT.EXE The DLCTT exectuable
If one of these files is missing, or there are extra files, or the archive
fails a CRC check, please file-request it from 1:243/27.
[ Description ]----------------------------------------------------------------
DLCTT will take as input a stat file created by DLC /S and create and
maintain a database of each file downloaded. It will then create a .BBS
file lisitng the top ten downloaded files. You can list anywhere from the
top one to the top 25 files.
DLCTT uses the same control file as DLC but you may have to add a few
specifications to your existing control file. See the distribution
control file for 'DLCStatFile', 'TopTen', and 'Top'.
[ Usage ]----------------------------------------------------------------------

Display a help screen.

Don't delete the DLC.STA file as would be the default.

control file with this switch.
