-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- $VER: FPEXchange, v1.1 (26-Jun-96) by Dotoran! -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Disclaimer: ~~~~~~~~~~ Originally, v1.0 was written by PMK, aka Peter Klein. Since Peter has decided to go the IBM route, I'll be attempting to "take on" the continued development of the files he has authored in the past. Introduction: ~~~~~~~~~~~~ On my BBS I keep a 1:5 byte and file ratio, plus I give 10% bonus bytes to the Uploader, each time his upload is downloaded! (Using CNet's built-in features.) - However several of my good users sometimes run out of file credits, but still have lot's of byte credits! - Here's the solution! FPExchange! - It allows the user to 'Exchange' some of their Byte Credits into File Credits! - The 'price' of a file credit is based on the average byte size the user has uploaded! (Uploaded Bytes / Uploaded Files = PRICE) The user has to have uploaded a minimum of 512K, called the board at least 10 times, and be really low on credits, as it will not allow a user to have/ buy more than 10 file credits! - These values can be changed by editing the "FPEXchange" program, and change the four variables at the start of the program. Installation: ~~~~~~~~~~~~ 1) Copy "FPEXchange" to your DOORS:FPFiles/ directory. 2) Add the following line to Menu # 2; Available everywhere in BBSMENU: FPEX `1- | {#0DOORS:FPfiles:FPEXchange} ^ ^ Access Groups Control-Q character. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Send Bug Reports/Comments to: Dotoran of Frontiers BBS (716)/823-9892!
