- DLCTT * A Top Ten Download Generator for use with DLC, Version 1.05
- Copyright (C) 1992,1993 Robert Presland, all rights reserved.
-
- [ Release Info * 23 Apr 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'.
-

-
- [ History ]--------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- 1.05 Logs to a log file like DLC 2.48.

- 1.02 Another rewrite to optimize code, changed log style.
-
- 1.01 Rewrote the main engine procedure to correct many bugs and hopefully
