10/15/92 TOPDL Version 0.52 Beta
Copyright Steve Rohrer 1992
TOPDL - A "TOP 20 DOWNLOADS" bulletin generator for PCBoard.
Requirements:
A DOWNLOAD.TXT file as generated by PCBoard.
A copy of QSORT.EXE.
Installation:
1 - Make a subdirectory to put this stuff in. I suggest \TOPDL.
2 - Move the contents of the ZIP file into said subdirectory.
3 - Edit CVTDLTXT.CFG and change it as follows:
DLTXTFID should be the fully qualified file id of your
DOWNLOAD.TXT file. This file is generated by
PCBoard.
LOGFID is the output file from CVTDLTXT, and is best
left alone.
4 - Edit TOPDL.CFG and change it as follows:
DIRPATH should specify the PATH in which your directory
files exist (i.e. DIR1, DIR2, etc.)
UPLDFID should specify the fully qualified file id of your
upload file directory.
BLTFID should specify the fully qualified file id of the
bulletin file to be generated.
LOGFID is the input file to TOPDL, and is best left alone.
TITLE specifies title text to appear in the generated
bulletin file.
DAYS is the number of days for which TOPDL is to look back
whilst counting files downloaded.
5 - Make any changes necessary to TDL.BAT
Use:
Add TDL to your EVENT.SYS file. Naturally you can invoke TOPDL
by typing TDL at the DOS command prompt. It's slow. Be patient.
Warranty:
None. This software is offered "as is". USE AT YOUR OWN RISK.
License:
You are granted a license to use, copy, and distribute version 0.50 Beta of
TOPDL, as long as no modifications are made to the executable
portions of this software. As is the usual practice, I retain
ownership of the software.
Fees:
There are no registration fees required for version 0.51 Beta of
TOPDL.
Support:
I can be contacted via my BBS, ShareWare South, at (404) 370-0736, or
via the RIME Shareware conference.
