I. Introduction.
Do you users log on complaining about the busy signal, not realizing you just
processed a 4MB network packet or 20MB of files from Fidonet? LastNet lets
'em know what the network activity's been!
II. Installation.
LastNet includes a separate configuration utility, LNCONFIG. Using LNCONFIG,
you can modify whether to display the fancy (steely-bar style) header and all
the colors for the border, header and listing text. Simply run LNCONFIG in
the directory containing LASTNET.EXE, and it will prompt you for the changes.
LastNet can be run as a logon event or a standalone program. No matter which
method you use, it must be run from your BBS main directory. It accepts only
two commandline parameters (both optional):
LASTNET <chain.txt> <path to mailer history files>
<chain.txt> is the path and filename to the dropfile created by WWIV.
Most often, this is passed as "%1" from a batch file.
<mailer history> is the path where your INBOUND.HIS and OUTBOUND.HIS
(created by FrontDoor, InterMail and other mailers) are stored.
The simplest way to run LastNet is as a logon event. Add the following line
to your LOGON.BAT (defined in INIT):
LASTNET %1 <optional path to mailer history files>
If you would rather create the LASTNET.ANS/LASTNET.MSG files in your GFILES\
directory and display them yourself (using a source code modification), just
type:
LASTNET <optional path to mailer history files>
III. Registration.
LastNet is another fine Cerebrum product. Cerebrum is a group of loosely
affiliated, but very skilled programmers working to provide creative solutions
for WWIV sysops. (Several of Cerebrum's staff are WWIV support Sites!) Show
your support to keep high quality Cerebrum products coming!
Registration is only $5.00!
