┌────────────┐
│Introduction│ Welcome to Leech Finder! We feel that Leech Finder is the
└────────────┘ BEST program of it's type. It calculates the ratios and
tells you who exceeds them, just like any other program.
But no other ratio detection program gives you so many
options. Leech Finder supports the Number ratio system
and the Kilobyte ratio system. No matter what you use for
a ratio, Leech Finder is configurable for your system!
┌────────┐
│LFConfig│ Leech Finder is VERY simple to install since it comes with its
└────────┘ own configuration program. LFConfig is a program I wrote to
avoid confusion with the LF.CFG file. The configuration file
simply became to big to do manually. I suggest that you run
LFCONFIG the first time, and for minor changes use a text editor
to modify LF.CFG. The format for the file is as follows:
The /X\ASS Hysteria BBS <= Name of your BBS
K <= K or # Ratio Type
6 <= The Ratio
15 <= Information Color
9 <= Box Color
14 <= Names Color
12 <= Status Color
11 <= Highlight Color
1 <= QuickBBS Message Board Number
Leech Inspector <= Who the Message is From
Ratio Warning <= The Subject of the Message
75 ___ <= Minimum Security Level to Ignore
Brian Tardiff \
Brian Tardiff \ The FIVE names that Leech Finder
Brian Tardiff >=----------- is to ignore. All are optional.
Brian Tardiff / You may use as many or as little
Brian Tardiff ___/ as you wish.
┌────────────────────┐
│Running Leech Finder│ Leech Finder should be run in your nightly
└────────────────────┘ event. You will want to use a seperate message
base to handle the Leech Finder messages.
Important!! => For this to work correctly, you should kill all the
messages in the designated message board BEFORE
you run Leech Finder. This way, a user will only
get ONE message per day until he/she fixes
his/her ratio. Otherwise, if you don't delete
the messages, and the user has not logged on in a
week, he or she will get seven messages from
Leech Finder. This can be performed by the
following:
MSGUTILS DELBRD #
(The # being the number of the Message Board)
Leech Finder can be run with two parameters with
only one of them being a requirement. From your
QuickBBS directory, Leech Finder can executed by
the following:
LEECH [Output Path] [/Options]
ex: LEECH C:\QUICKBBS\TXTFILES /NM
In this example, LEECHES.ASC/ANS would be outputted
to the C:\QUICKBBS\TXTFILES directory.
The /NM option (non case sensitive) tells Leech
Finder NOT to post any messages. You should use
this option if you wish to use Leech Finder as a
bulletin make only. Your message files will not be
touched if this parameter is passed. This is
currently the only option that Leech Finder supports.
┌──────────────┐
│Screen Display│ When Leech Finder runs, some names appear in
└──────────────┘ different colors. If a name appears in AQUA, this
means that the user is either one of the five names in
the LF.CFG file that is to be ignored or that his
security level is higher than the "Minimum Security to
Ignore" option. These users are not sent a message and
are excluded from the bulletins.
┌────────────────────┐
│The ENHANCED Version│ There is ENHANCED version of Leech Finder that
└────────────────────┘ can be obtained relatively cheap! The features of
the registered copy are:
o You can have your messages say WHATEVER
you want! Leech Finder will import any
text directly into your QuickBBS message
base and send it to all your leeches!
o The tag line on the bottom of the message
is eliminated! Instead, your users will be
informed that it's a Leech Finder message
by the Subject.
There are two ways you can order the enhanced
version. You can send $5.00 and you will be
given access to download your copy from our BBS.
Or you can send $7.50 and I will mail it to you
on a 5.25" disk. Payment will entitle you to
download all future versions from the BBS.
=> PRINT LFORDER.FRM to order and send it along with
check or money order to:
