Disclaimer
==========
I take no responsibility for any damage that may occur from use or
misuse of this softwares. There are no warranties or guarentees on this
software, it is only guarenteed to take up disk space. Use it at your own
risk.
What It Does
============
What this utility does is go through and read in all the file records,
and sort them according to number of times the file has been downloaded,
giving you a listing of the 15 most popular files in an easy-to read format.
It will create 2 bulletins, and ANSI and ASCII Version. The only restriction
it has is that if you have more than 2000 files, it will not function
properly. The reason for this is that in Turbo Pascal you are only allowed
64k of variable space, and that is the maximum amount it could hold. However,
most average sized bbs's have far fewer than 2000 files, so that should not
be a problem at all.
How To Use It
=============
TOP15 is really quite easy to use, simple edit the TOP15.CFG with your
favorite text editor, and it will tell you exactly where to put the specific
information. Now all you have to do is place TOP15.EXE and TOP15.CFG in any
directory, and type "TOP15". I would suggest running it as a nightly event.
Registration
============
There is no registration fee at all to use TOP15. However, If you use
this software for a period of time and appreceate my work, please send a
small donate of $10 to me, to help cover the costs of running my BBS and such.
If you donate at least $10, you will receive special access on my BBS,
Programmer's Paradise (The Number and Information are in the TOP15.CFG file).
Please feel free to ask me any questions, offer ideas, report bugs, etc.
