- REGISTRATION INFO:
-
- Top Downloads is keyware. It will expire after 7 days use unless registered.
- The registration fee is $10. "Upload Creditor" registration is also included
- for those registering Top DL. Upload Creditor is a Hermes II external that
- will give a sysop-selectable amount of download credit to a user each time his
- file is downloaded by others.
-
- You can register by mailing the form at the end of the docs to Computer
- Classifieds. For quicker registration you can use your Visa or Mastercard and
- register on the Hermes II Support BBS. Leave mail to user #1 and be sure to
- include the exact BBS name you want your copy of Top DL registered to. All
- serial numbers are sent via E-Mail on the Support BBS.
-
- ABOUT THE DOCS:
-
- Top DL has several "nested" menus, so reading the documentation is necessary
- for proper setup and operation. Also, some easily-understandable commands are
- not explained here in the docs.
- EXTERNAL FILES SETUP:
-
- Place the Top DL external and the Top DL folder in the Hermes II Externals
- folder.
-
- Inside the Top DL folder you should have three additional folders. They are
- Lists, Headers and ANSI Headers. Once Top DL runs it will generate two files
- in the Top DL folder. They are "Top DL GSet" and "Top DL LSet". Inside the
- Headers and ANSI Headers folders you will find header files for each of the 15
- possible lists. You can edit these files with a text editor if you wish. Top
- DL will automatically insert and center names entered from the Settings Menu.
-
- ENTERING LETTER V FOR ACCESS IN TRANSFER SECTION:
-
- You can access Top DL from the Hermes Externals Menu or by typing V when in the
- Transfer Section. For the letter V to access Top DL, you must add the letter V
- to String #1 of the STR# resource of the Hermes II application. This will not
- be necessary for any Hermes II application released after Hermes II v1.0.1.
- You can use ResEdit, Resourcer or other resource editor to enter the V.
