There is no need for ANS->PCB conversions or any other utility, because the output file will contain PCBoards @Xxx codes. Configuration ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ It takes less than a minute to configure TOP FILES. You just need to set up a configuration file as follows: New Age BBS ; The BBS's name. 100 ; D/Ls of the last x days, 1st column 30 ; D/Ls of the last x days, 2nd column (*) 7 ; D/Ls of the last x days, 3rd column (*) 10 ; Total TOP FILES per column (1-20) NOSHARE ; SHARE if you want to share DOWNLOAD.TXT (slower!)

History ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ 12/21/92 - v1.0: First release 01/03/93 - v1.1: Totals option added + a few esthetic improvements 02/05/93 - v1.2: Corrects a bug that caused the uploades files to be counted as downloads .. oops! 02/07/93 - v1.3: Just recompiled to reflect new version... 04/12/93 - v2.0: Rewritten from scratch in pure C. Size went down *a lot* and speed went up by a factor of 4. Warning: it takes quite a lot of conventional RAM now: about 150K if you have about 5000 different files downloaded in the last x days 04/15/93 - v2.1: Improved SHARE compatibility for operation under DESQview and networks. Now "Last 1 days" means files downloaded TODAY, and so on. 07/24/93 - v2.2: Now it handles LARGE download logs. Some minor bugs fixed. Each of the three lines with the filenames to be ignored may be up to 500 chars long. DISCLAIMER ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ THIS SOFTWARE AND MANUAL ARE SUPPLIED "AS IS".
