       v1.00 Added a total number of entries to maintain (top.cfg, line 12).
             This is ready for release now, seems to work pretty stable
	     at several places.
	     Changed the look of the weekly top up/downloaders (bytes), mainly
	     because I wanted another look for my logon PPE :).
                
       v0.52 Monthly totals were not updated correctly, fixed.
             Fixed a problem with the temporary files created by logon.ppe,
             sometimes they would not be deleted by top.ppe which could
             cause some problems next time around.
             Fixed some cosmetic bugs.
             Changed the code to write dots in between the bytes/files
             displayed, this will make it better readable.
       v0.51 Inserted a couple of checks to make it more robust.
       v0.50 Decided to squash that old and ugly xtop ppe of mine and recode
             it into something better as it was way too slow, but then again
             it was one of me first pcb utils, so it wasn't that bad :)

             Anyway, this one uses PPLC 3.0 dbase capability to maintain a
             database for the users. I hope this will prove much faster than
             reading any log file as most weekly/montly bulletins I've seen
             do. I don't know how fast PPLC will handle large databases as
             they grow, but hey, we will surely see, won't we :)

             If the database doesn't prove fast enough I can also resort to 
             using a TPA for this, but I hope this won't be necessary 
             because the user base if hogged up enough as it is :).

             The only problem with the database use is that initially in the
             first week/month the data will have to build up, after the 
             initial week/month everything should be up to date.

             Squished some ugly bugs in the process of beta testing it.
             
             More (ugly big) bugs found and fixed, phew..

             Added: an option to TOP.CFG which at the end of the week/month
                    adds a percentage of the uploaded bytes to the account of
                    the top (bytes) uploader. A message is also sent to the 
                    top uploader (weekmsg/monthmsg) congratulating him etc :)
               
             Added: A message to ALL with the (top bytes uploaded) bulletins 
                    can now also be mailed at the end of the week/month (see
                    TOP.CFG).
             Fixed: Ugly weektop update bug (geez).
             Added: Exclusion file (TOP.EXC).
