DISCLAIMER
==========
I take no responsibility for any damage this program may cause, It
is only guarenteed to take up disk space. There are no warranties of any
type, Use this software at your own risk.
What It Does
============
Well, I wrote this program to replace the TAG TOP Users programs
which I have gotten tired of. They had a few small bugs, one of them was
that occasionally the numbers would not be accurate among other things.
Another thing I did not like about it is that you have around 9 little 15k
.EXE files which is really unneccesary. I managed to shrink down the whole
process to a .EXE file around 13k long, And ONE configuration file. One
thing that my program does NOT have is the top post/call ratios and the
top file ratios. However my programs do have a few advantages, some of
them being speed <I sped up the sorting routines quite a bit>, new
improved graphical display, a bit more configurable, and about 10% of the
size of Tag TopUsers. It will create bulletins of the top callers, posters,
uploaders, downloaders, uploaders in k-bytes, downloaders in k-bytes, and
time users. I also made the local display while processing the information
nice and colorful with graphs and everything.
How To Use It
=============
TOPUSERS is really quite simple to set up. An enclosed file called
TOPUSERS.CFG explains completely how to set it up, you simply follow the
form listed in the bottom of configuration file. Then you place the
TOPUSERS.EXE and TOPUSERS.CFG file in your main bbs directory (or any
other one for that matter), and type "TOPUSERS". I would suggest running
it as a nightly event.
Registration
============
TOPUSERS has no real registration fee, however if you do use it and
like it, a $5 donation would be greatly appreceated. If you are interested,
please send the money to:
