No required files at all.. Aren't you glad.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
DESC: GOMail v1.+ Analyzer/Scanner Statistics Generator
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
WHAT IT DOES:
=============
GOSCAN v1.10 will scan your GoMail v1.+ Log and generate full screen
statistics reflecting the information read in your log file(s). GOScan
has been incorporated to search to detect what version of GOMail you are
currently running. Fields no supported by earlier versions of GOMail
will be replaced by the words, "n/a" or with a "0" (zero).
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SETUP:
======
1 - Run GSCNCNFG.EXE to modify your .CFG File.
(It is self explainitory.)
2 - Edit NODE.DAT to include all of your up/down
links. This is used in processing your
megabytes sent to these nodes and number
of packets also.
3 - Then run the program as follows:
GOSCAN.EXE (No options)
-*- NOTE: To Reset statistics, just run GSCNCNFG.EXE and choose to reset
statistics back to 0. Also if you choose to us the DATA FILE
method in the config, it will automatically backup the current
[GOSCAN.DAT] to [GOSCAN.BAK] so in case any problems occur,
the statistics aren't lost.
...That's all folks
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
REQUIREMENTS:
=============
■ GOMail v1.+
■ Wildcat v3.00+
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SUGGESTIONS FROM AUTHOR:
========================
■ If your GOMail log ranges any higher than 75k big, it shall take
a while to first process it. Just give it some time. I found
this to be the case when I first ran it not using the DATA FILE
method.
■ If you are a SysOp who is pressed for time (like myself), try using the
Data File method. It will process the LOG at a faster rate at having
the extra information there at the programs finger tips.
■ In your NODE.DAT file, do not enter any node number that exceeds over
12 spaces (000:0000/00, 000:00/0000, 00:0000/000, ect.). I've allowed
only enough room for 12 space node numbers since I was pressed at
getting this program released. If you need more spaces, let me know
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
FUTURE RELEASE ADDITIONS:
=========================
■ For Suggestions:
We are available for suggestions thru FidoNet's WILDCAT Conf, via NETMail
to 1:379/1200, 27:704/0, and 86:8351/100, or by calling our Board at
(704)982-9223 [14.4 v42bis - MNP 2-7] and leaving CHRIS CRANFORD a message.

HISTORY/CHANGES OF GOSCAN:
==========================
- Version: v1.00 -=- Release date: 06/21/93
- Our full release of GoScan. This release allows you to process every
shread of information out of your GOMail v1.+ Log and generate it into
two very organized and easy to read screens. It also will scan your
AREAS.BBS file and calculating the number of EchoMail conferences and
PassThru conferences. In addition, you have the ability to write the
output to the screen before writing to disk or not. We incorporated a
function line to determine weither or not you wish to use a Data file
to keep your GOMAIL.LOG from getting too BIG, or just run the program
straight and calculating everything over and over from the HUGE LOG!
Lastly in the NODE.DAT file, we have allowed you to enter up to 10
node number down/up links. Statistics for these nodes are produced
and written to the statistical output. These node numbers in the
NODE.DAT file are point supportive. Just remember, only up to 12 space
node numbers are accepted. More are going to be in the next release.
- Version: v1.10 -=- Release date: 06/22/93
- Bug Fix: Found that when use an earlier version of GOMail that GOScan
would hang when reading the Node Data information because it
isn't supported. Also fixed when specific lines weren't detected
that GOScan didn't just hang the system, it would continue on
ignoring the fact of the lost line.
-*■*- Sorry for the inconvience with a next day release! [It works now!]
