This program is not freeware. It is shareware. You may use it for a
period of 30 days, upon which time you must either register it or

Now that that's out of the way!
LastOn is a nice little utility to let the user know who was the
last user on the BBS. It creates screens according to a
laston.cfg file, making ansi and ascii screens. The screens can be
logon screens, bulletins, or whatever you choose in the config file.
LastOn was designed for TriBBS sysops, but it should work with any
BBS software out there.
Format for laston.cfg:
<line one> path and name for dorinfo*.def (MUST be dorinfo*.def !!)
<line two> path and name to ascii screen
<line three> path and name to ansi screen
Sample laston.cfg file:
c:\tribbs\dorinfo1.def
c:\tribbs\display\logon2.bbs
c:\tribbs\display\logon2.ans
* The .cfg must be in the same directory as the .exe file to run
* properly. Simply place the .cfg and .exe files in any directory in
* your path and add these lines to your between.bat:
cd\tribbs\utils\laston <---- or wherever you put it.
laston
cd\tribbs
board.bat
That's it!
************
Note!
************
LastOn 1.2 needs a dorinfo*.def file for the last user to execute.
You may want to create a logon.bat so that the file is made for every
user. Otherwise, LastOn cannot get the info unless the last user ran
a door. The logon.bat is the best option, guaranteeing the existence
of a dorinfo*.def.
SHAREWARE!!

What's New
----------
v1.2
Added a simple control code so the screen won't fly by. Gives users
a chance to read. Also makes it so sysops don't have to make the BBS
add them.
