Description
TOPTEN is a program which will compute and print "Top-10" user
listings for bulletin boards using the Searchlight BBS software. It
will produce listings by one of three criteria- number of calls,
amount of uploads, or amount of downloads- and you may specify the
number of users you want listed (ten is the default, but the entire
user list can be printed if desired).
TOPTEN writes the listing to standard output, and you may redirect
it to a text file if desired. This program is suitable for use with
the SLBBS Doors system.
Useage
The syntax for running TOPTEN is as follows:
TOPTEN [CUD][n] [a] [/w] [/p<path>]
where: [CUD] is one of
C: computes top caller listing
U: computes top uploaders
D: computes top downloaders
You can only specify one list at a time.
The default, if no option is specified, is C.
[n] is the number of positions you desire in the list.
If missing, it defaults to 10.
A value of 0 indicates that ALL users are to be listed.
[a] is the maximum access level to list.
If given, only those users with access levels less than or
equal to this number are listed.
This parameter is useful for leaving the SYSOP out of a top
ten user listing.
[/w] if specified, the "wait" parameter causes the program to wait
after displaying the Top-10 listing until a key is pressed.
This parameter may appear anywhere on the command line.
[/p] allows you to specify the name of the directory containing the
CONFIG.BBS file, if other than the current directory. Do not
type a trailing backslash (ie. type 'C:\BBS' not 'C:\BBS\').
Here are some examples:
TOPTEN
prints a listing of the top ten callers;
TOPTEN C20
gives a listing of the top 20 callers;
TOPTEN U15 240
prints top 15 uploaders, excluding users with access level
greater than 240;
TOPTEN D0 /W /PC:\BBS1
lists the entire user file sorted in order of most to least
amount of downloads. The program will wait until a key is
pressed before continuing. The CONFIG.BBS file is in directory
C:\BBS1.
You can use the I/O redirection feature of DOS to have the listing
sent to a text file rather than to the screen. Simply append the
right-bracket followed by a filename to the end of the command line.
For example,
TOPTEN U15 100 >TOPUL.TXT
will produce the indicated Top listing and write it to the file
TOPUL.TXT. A filename of PRN will cause the listing to go to the
printer. Don't use the "/W" option when redirecting output.
