LastCallers v7.2
For C-Net Amiga ** v3,04+ **
Written by Ray Akey (AKA Heavy Metal)
This is your enhanced Last 10 callers program for C-Net Amiga.
Current Changes
---------------
1. Small bug fix involving display of file/byte stats.
2. Recompiled with CNet v3.04 headers
Changes from v7.1
------------------
1. Can now be used in ANY CLI/Shell -> Caller info only displayed. No
system stats are yet available here.
No last caller data is updated.
Changes from V7.0
-----------------
1. Now PURE. Both modules can be made resident.
Use "RESIDENT PFILES:LASTCALLERS PFILES:LASTCALLERS"
and "RESIDENT PFILES:LASTCALLERSUPDATE PFILES:LASTCALLERSUPDATE"
in your startups to make either of these programs resident.
2. It is Now possible to turn OFF/ON sysop account logging and
any other maint (SYSOP MAINTENANCE priviledge) user.
To use these options, create the file SYSDATA:LAST10.CFG and place
any of the following keywords in that file:
NOLOGSYSOP -> Turns OFF (disbales) logging of account #1 to
last 10.
LOGSYSOP -> Turns ON (enables) logging of account #1 in last
10.
NOLOGMAINTUSER -> Turns OFF logging of any users with MAINT (except
account #1).
LOGMAINTUSER -> Turns ON logging of maint users (except account
#1).
NOTE: any commented lines must BEGIN with a semi-colon (;).
an example LAST10.CFG has been provided.
Changes from 6.0
----------------
1. Major changes (again) for this version. You must (if they exist) delete:
SYSDATA:LAST10.DATA
&
SYSDATA:LAST10.STAT
2. A few DAILY items are kept track of now also:
1: Calls today.
2: Upload Files Today.
3: Upload KB Today.
4: Dload Files Today.
5: Dload KB Today.
All of these "daily" variables are reset each day, after midnight when
"LastCallersUpdate" is next ran.
3. All text is still capable of being edited so I will leave you here. Make sure
you read the "Changes from 5.0" below the sample output, if you are running
a version that doesn't include the LastCallersUpdate program.
5. The display has been COMPLETELY reworked this time allowing more important
info to be displayed for each last caller. Here is a sample output (sans
colour of course and using IBM GFX):

Changes from 5.0
----------------
1. Almost all text is now external, in two files:
systext:lastcallerstext
&
systext:lastcallers.msg
"lastcallers.msg" is just a menu type TEXT file that explains what the
"action" flags mean.
"lastcallerstext" is the file which contains the actual graphics
and text/C formatting that is seen when LastCallers is viewed. Edit this
file if you wish to customize the Last callers display. There are
graphics sections for 40/80 column ASCII, 40/80 column C64 GFX, and 40/80
column IBM GFX. The first is IBM, 2nd is CBM and the last but not least,
ASCII.
2. The action flags - These are a set of 9 letters which stand for the
following things which a user has done while online:
D = Downloaded
U = Uploaded
M = Left a message (Mail, Post, Response)
P = Paged Sysop
C = Lost Carrier
N = Normal Logoff
3. The main display is updated at login, so that the user appears in
the lastcallers display, in the correct order of logins. To facilitate
the updating of the caller display, and to incorporate any actions that
a user performs while online, the program "LastCallersUpdate" has been
written. This C-Net Pfile must be configured to run when a user logs off.
To do this, add the following command to line 99 of BBSTEXT:
#2pfiles:LastCallersUpdate}
^
|
CTRL-Q
Operation:
----------
The display is nicely formatted and displays correctly for all terminal types
and graphics settings of C-Net Amiga.. It is an all-in-one program where there
is nothing for you to create. Everything (creation of the data file, updating
last 10 and displaying last 10) is done in a single program.
Installation:
-------------
1. Copy LastCallers & LastCallersUpdate to your Pfiles.
2. add the following text to your SYSTEM:SYS.WELCOME file or another location
where you would like it displayed.. possibly BBSTEXT but be careful
where you put it as in some areas of BBSTEXT, the user's handle is not
know and will show in the Top Ten as <Logon>. If you put it in
sys.welcome, it is guaranteed to work FLAWLESSLY.
\#2pfiles:LastCallers\
3. Add the following text to line 99 of BBSTEXT:
#2pfiles:LastCallersUpdate}
^
|
CTRL-Q
3. That's it.. When the file is run for the first time, it will create the
data file and keep it updated on succesive calls.
