v 1.5 (C)1992 Rolf Johansson 1992
A program for use with the QuickBBS-ST system.
laSTliST is FreeWare, that means that you may use and distribute the
program, as long as all files that comes with laSTliST are distributed too.
You may not change anything in the program or the documentations.
If you use the program, then please send a postcard or a NetMail to me.
My address is shown last in this document.
I take no responsibility whatsoever of what the program might do, except of
the good things then of course. If you crash your hard disk or corrupt
your favorite program, I am NOT guilty.
Program Features
================
_ Creates lastuser-screens in four graphic modes for your (Q)BBS.
ASCII, ANSI, VT-52 mono and VT-52 colour.
_ Function for filtering max 2 names in the lists.
_ Easy to install using the new program INSTALL.PRG supplied with laSTliST.
_ For Binkley Term ST users, laSTliST will add a string to "System" in
the file BINKLEY.CFG, for easy reading of info about the last user.
_ Can create a "SysOp-list" with all these macro-lines added for easy
looking at previos macro lines.
_ Reads errorlevels from Qbbs and exports them futher to any other program.
_ No paths needed for Qbbs directory, Binkley directory etc, because laSTliST
reads your inviroment variables.
_ Makes your modem go off hook with editable command, while it is working.
_ Add how many users you wish in the lists.
_ Add you system name or anything you wish, on top of the lists.
HOW TO SET UP laSTliST
======================
Place the file LASTLIST.PRG wherever you want, as long as the configuration
file named LASTLIST.CFG and INSTALL.PRG is in the same directory.
New for version 1.3 is the INSTALL.PRG. From here you can easily edit the
LASTLIST.CFG file. Do so. You´ll get all help from the program.
Put INSTALL.PRG in the same directory as LASTLIST, otherwise it will not
find LASTLIST.CFG.
HOW TO RUN laSTliST
===================
If you run it from PCommand, write:
LASTLIST %:e
laSTliST needs the %:e on the commandline to handle the errorlevels from
Quick BBS. PCommand replaces the %:e with the errorlevel. You could with
other words type 3 on the command line for the .TTP-file, to simulate a
carrier dropped from Quick BBS.
Study you manuals for how to do with other batch programs.
SOME DATA
=========
laSTliST produces LASTLIST.ASC
LASTLIST.ANS
LASTLIST.VTM
and LASTLIST.VTC.
In Ansi mode it uses colour control codes.
laSTliST will also write the file LASTUSER.DAT to keep in track with
which users logged in and out, and when...
laSTliST reads the following files: USERS.BBS, LASTUSER.LOG, SYSINFO.BBS,
and its own produced files.
NEW IMPROVEMENTS FOR VERSION 1.3
================================
SysOp list
----------
If you wish, laSTliST can write a file with all the last users, their
login time and logoff time, plus some special "flags".

Flag explaination
(Y---) Y stands for Yell. The user paged you while he was online.
(-M--) M stands for Message(s) to SysOp. The user left a message to you.
(--E-) E stands for Echo/Netmail. The user wrote one or both of these.
(---!) ! stands for Dropped Carrier. The user dropped the carrier online.
System line for Binkley SysOps
------------------------------
If you use Binkley, laSTliST can add a new "System"-line in BINKLEY.CFG.
System Rolf Johansson <23:17-23:41> (YME!)
Now, on screen you can see the name, time and flags for the last user.
Although, this is not recommended by some persons. If you get a file req,
and Binkley answers back with a Netmail for some reason, the wrong system-
name appears in the letter. I don't bother so much about this, but maybee
you do, so it's up to you... You must not use this function!
SUGGESTIONS, PROBLEMS OR OTHER STUFF?
=====================================
I´ve been working for days and weeks from version to version to make laSTliST
work. As I can see it for now, it should work with nearly every system. If your
system shouldn´t feel the same, please write to me so we can do something
about it. Please state your computer type, and the paths to your system files,
and your laSTliST files.
With your help I can make this program more useful to the one who needs
it. Please write to me if you are feeling angry or happy!
