- Introduction
- ============
-
- With the HighScores routine in Door Source 3.2, you are able
- maintain a very comprehensive score database which is easy to use
- and quick. However, until now, there has been no way to compress and
- delete the players that no longer play but are still in the score
- database. Using the routine in this package, you will be able to
- easily and quickly compress the high score file.

- Name : CompressHighScores
-
- CALL CompressHighScores(HighScoreFile$,21)
-
- CompressHighScores is a routine to compress the high score file
- listed. Call this routine from your maintaince program to compress
- the file. Make sure that only ONE node does this at a time!
- If several attempt it at the same time, then serious problems
- will occur. The first parameter is the filename for the high
- score file, the second is how many days of inactivity for a
- person's score you want for it to be deleted. For example, if
- you say 21 days, then any score which hasnt been updated within
- the last 21 days or more (22 days, 35 days, ect,...) then that
- score will be purged from the file.
