This program runs in your logoff sequence. It has the ability to create a bulletin of either the Weekly Top Uploaders (measured in _Bytes_ ) or Weekly Top Downloaders (measured in _Bytes_ ) or both. It runs during each user's logoff process, and once daily, will perform a total cycle which evaluates all users and creates totals for the day. (this can also be run more times per day if you want more current results). 컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴� 컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴� 굇� INSTALLATION 檳굇굇굇굇굇굇굇굇굇굇굇굇굇굇굇굇굇굇굇굇굇굇굇굇굇굇굇굇굇굇 컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴� This PPE requires the installation of TPA(s) into your user file. They are used to store raw data. If you wish to use this PPE to keep track of the Weekly Top Uploaders, you must install the CWTU TPA. If you wish to keep track of the Weekly Top Downloaders, you must install the CWTD TPA. You must install BOTH TPAs if you want to use this PPE to create both bulletins. TPAs are easy to install, and just as easy to un-install if you do not wish to use this PPE. 컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴� Installing the CWTU TPA: All nodes must be down/at the Call Waiting screen. It is a one time install into your users.inf file. This TPA is used for the Weekly Top *UPLOADERS*. 1. Run PCBSM 2. Press D ( User Info File Maintenance ) 3. Press E ( Add/Update Third Party Application ) 4. Enter the name of the Third Party Application: CWTU 5. Version : 1 Static Size : 15 Dynamic Size : 0 Keyword : CWTU 6. Press PGDN 컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴� Installing the CWTD TPA: All nodes must be down/at the Call Waiting screen. It is a one time install into your users.inf file. This TPA is used for the Weekly Top *DOWNLOADERS*. 1. Run PCBSM 2. Press D ( User Info File Maintenance ) 3. Press E ( Add/Update Third Party Application ) 4. Enter the name of the Third Party Application: CWTD 5. Version : 1 Static Size : 15 Dynamic Size : 0 Keyword : CWTD 6. Press PGDN 컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴� This PPE must be installed in the logoff procedure. There are many ways to accomplish this task, one being: 1. Load all your PCBTEXT file(s) into MKPCBTXT.EXE (MKPCBTXT in /PCB/GEN) 2. Go to record entry #192 (Press F3 and then 192) 3. Replace the line: 旼컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴� � Record No: 192 Record Length: 40 Justification: Left � 쳐컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴� � Minutes Used: @OPTEXT@ � � %DRIVE:\PATH\LOGOFF.TXT � 읕컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴� 4. Edit LOGOFF.TXT in a text editor so that it looks like: ----------------- Minutes Used: @OPTEXT@ !DRIVE:\PATH\CWTU.PPE (Command Line Parameters) ----------------- Possible Command Line Parameters: --------------------------------- /U ...... Process the Weekly Top Uploaders /D ...... Process the Weekly Top Downloaders /RUN .... Force a Complete Cycle/Bulletin Update (Do not use in logoff.txt) /NHU .... No Hang Up during Processing /ASCII .. Output Bulletins will use Ascii Characters (Instead of ANSI) This makes it easy to add other PPEs into your logoff sequence, simply by adding them to the LOGOFF.TXT file. Example: If you have installed both TPAs and want the PPE to update both the UL and DL bulletins, use the following in your logoff.txt: !DRIVE:\PATH\CWTU.PPE /U /D or if you want ASCII bulletins: !DRIVE:\PATH\CWTU.PPE /U /D /ASCII 컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴� You can then EDIT the CWTU.DAT file and CWTU.COL file to change the running configuration and color configuration for the bulletin(s). Instructions are contained within both of these files. 컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴� You then must display the output bulletins (wherever you want them placed) on your board. If you want them as bulletins, you can set them up in your BLT.LST file. (PCBSETUP - Select a Conference - Setup the bulletin by pressing F2 on the Bulletin Path/Lst file) You can also display one (or more) during the logon process, by inserting a: %DRIVE:\PATH\CWTU.BLT or %DRIVE:\PATH\CWTD.BLT 컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴� 컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴� 굇� GENERAL PROGRAM INFORMATION 檳굇굇굇굇굇굇굇굇굇굇굇굇굇굇굇굇굇굇굇굇굇굇� 컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴� 1. General Operation ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- When the program is run, it first looks in the .PTR file that it creates to see when it was last run. (The .PTR file just lists the last date that the program generated the bulletins). If proper command line parameters are given, it will search its own data base after each logoff and see if the bulletins must be updated. If its a new day (or its time to do a Total Cycle according to what the .DAT file says) it will cycle through all the users in the user file and re-update the bulletins along with the Total's information which is contained in the header file of the bulletin. A total cycle only has to be done ONCE a day. The program will automatically update the bulletins after each call (providing they need to be updated). You can have a total cycle run more than once per day -- the only thing that will be updated are the running totals. Since the program uses a pointer file that can rely on the system date and time, please make sure to set all workstations to use a central SysTime or problems (repetitous total cycles) may occur. The CWTU.EXC file is a text file, listing user names (one to a line)that will be excluded from the bulletin(s). Rename the packaged _CWTU.EXC file to CWTU.EXC if you wish to exclude user names from the bulletins. On day 7 a message will be posted containing the results of the weekly top bulletin. It will be posted in the conference specified in the .DAT file (unless you turn this option off). 컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴� 굇� DISTRIBUTION 檳굇굇굇굇굇굇굇굇굇굇굇굇굇굇굇굇굇굇굇굇굇굇굇굇굇굇굇굇굇굇 컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴� You are always welcome to send Internet E-Mail requesting program info, ask any questions you may have, or to request a UUEncoded copy of any supported program (that is what that specific account is for!), or: "FINGER mslasher@io.org" anytime via your internet accessible account to view up-to-date information about: � Program information concerning the latest released version .............. � � Directions to official distribution site(s) ............................. � � A list of other supported programs ...................................... � � Other miscellaenous information ......................................... � 컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴� 굇� LEGAL-ESE 檳굇굇굇굇굇굇굇굇굇굇굇굇굇굇굇굇굇굇굇굇굇굇굇굇굇굇굇굇굇굇굇� 컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴� USAGE OF THIS SOFTWARE INDICATES YOUR ACCEPTANCE OF THE SOFTWARE LICENSE TERMS 컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴� This software is the property of the authors, Robert Hunter / G.L., the registered copyright owners.
