subject: Topusers Utility Update??? Help Ulf!

Does anyone know if there is an update to Ulf Nilsson's TOPUSERS program?  I 
really like it, but it has one flaw.  The program, for those who know it, 
shows the top 10 callers, downloaders and uploaders to a system.  The version 
I have is 1.70.  I've used it for years.  The problem is that it "lifts" only 
the first 5 characters (from the right) of the Kbytes downloaded field out of 
the USER.DAT file of the relavent users.  So if, for example, someone has 
downloaded 219000K, the program will display (in the .BBS file it creates) 
the users name and 19000K as the quantity downloaded, leaving off the "2" in 
the 1st character place.
What's interesting though, is that the program sorts the downloaders, for 
example, in order of most downloaded to least downloaded users in the top 10. 
So the user who'se downloaded 219000K, say, if he's the top downloader, will 
be in the top spot in the top10's download report.  So the program *is* 
reading the full kbyte quantity out of the userfile, and sorting on that, 
it's just not *writing* that leading number - the "2" - in the report.
Is there a fix for this???
