MTop is a PostCard-Ware program (concept introduced by Klaus Seistrup,
DK). If you like this program and use it regulary, you are obliged to send
a postcard to the author. The address is at the bottom of this text-file.
MTop may only be re-distributed on official MEBBSNet Support-BBS'.
===================== Updates & new program revision ======================
===========================================================================
Whenever a new release of `MTop' becomes available, it will be uploaded
at the Danish MEBBSNet Support-BBS, MicroAmiga BBS, 2:230/813.
NOTE: If there's a program, that stores data via traplist.library, that
you might want to get a Top-10 of, please let me know, and I'll try to
see, if I can get it implemented in the next version.
===================== Information about the program =======================
===========================================================================
This program is made to create Top-10 bulletins for MEBBSNet.
The original idea came from an utility to the AmiExpress system. I used
the layout from the text-output and added some options... And here's the
result..
The program needs a config-file. It should be called
MEBBSNet:Configfiles/MTop.cfg
See example-configuration-file for more details.
The program also needs the traplist.library if any of the FREQ/TICK
options are used.
Commandline options: CONFIG/K,NODELISTPATH/K
CONFIG : Specifies alternative name of config-file
NODELISTPATH : Specifies alternative path to nodelist in TrapList format
======================== How to adjust the colors =========================
===========================================================================
Here's an example of the output seen on the screen.... Here you can see
where which color belongs...
This screen-output might be slighty different from the one you get when
you run MTop.

========================== History/Highlights =============================
===========================================================================
Changes:
========
V1.20 - Added EXCLUDEMASK statement.
V1.14 - Some error-codes changed to use PrintFault instead of Printf.
V1.13 - Now uses utility.library to do some of the math-stuff.
V1.12 - Bug fixed in code, which generated the bars in Ascii/Ibm-mode.
V1.11 - Cleaned up code.
V1.10 - Major changes in code, which resulted in a program approx.
10 KB smaller.
File I/O now done direct with dos-routines instead of standard
C-routines.
V1.06 - Fixed the added code from v1.05, it didn't work probably.
Small changes/adjustments done to text-output.
V1.05 - If a user had more than 100000 KB up/down-load, the output
would get corrupted. Tried to fix bug. Not released for
public use.
V1.04 - If Tick-output file was not specified, program would report
error or breakdown. Bug fixed.
V1.03 - Added developer-number to output-files.
V1.02 - Added text output, so user can see what MTop is doing.
V1.01 - Added check for output-files, so traplist.library not will be
needed, unless TICK/FREQ-top tens are created.
V1.00 - First official release, converted from StarNet
