Imagine my amazement when one of us (namely Allen) received not a single reply to my query for such a program from the combined conscious of DLG_CHAT! So, we wrote one up in a jif... and added a few 'toys' to it along the way. Not only does it keep track of which files, but also what their sizes are and how many times they have been downloaded. In the future, we'll probably add the ability to show the area the file is in as well. Anyhow, we're sure you could really care less about that rather strange tale of a guy whose single plea for help went unanswered, until that man decided to single-handedly take on the world... Err... sorry. Just got finished watching one of those Disney 'Incredible Journey'-type things. Requirements ============ Nothing special, really... * DLG Pro BBS, any version should do (dlg.library is *not* called) * A dos.library of v36 or higher * An assignment to FILE: where there are numbered subdirectories containing your .fd files Usage ===== Simple. TopFiles [options] [(TO) outputfile] Simply supply the necessary options or output filename as needed. The output file can be any legal AmigaDOS file. If it isn't supplied, standard out (ie, the console) is used. The TO is completely optional. Options, at this point in time, include: Option Abbrev Usage Result ------ ------ --------------- -------------------------------- Size S TopFiles Size 5 Sets the number of files to keep track to 5. Legal values are any numbers greater than 0. Defaults to 10. Free F TopFiles Free Allows NORATIO files to be included in the listing. Sample Output ============= (Usage was "TopFiles FREE SIZE 20 TO DLGTexts:TopFiles.TXT") --------------------CUT HERE-------------------------- Top 10 Downloaded Files: Num Name Size (b) DLs --- ------------------------------------- --------- --- 1.
