KITTYCAT! and the <CYNTERGOR> Utilities -- Version 1.0m
Copyright (C) 1987 by <CYNTERGOR> Int'l., all rights reserved.
[A] - This is KITTYCAT! ver. 1.0m, and <CYNTERGOR> Utilities ver. 1.0m.
[B] - IMPORTANT!! You must create a separate sub-directory entitled
"KITTY" before you run any of these programmes. Then place the
programmes listed below into this sub-directory.
<PRGS IN REGISTERED VER.) <PRGS IN SHAREWARE VER.>
MENU.EXE MENU.EXE
WHISKER1.TBC KITCON.TBC
WHISKER2.TBC KITCAT1.EXE
WHISKER3.TBC KITCAT2.TBC
KITTEN.TBC KITCAT3.TBC
PEEKCAT.TBC
WAMPUS.TBC
CALICO.TBC
TOMCAT.TBC
KITCON.TBC
KITCAT1.EXE
KITCAT2.TBC
KITCAT3.TBC
Then move DELOG3.LST (if you have created it) to this sub-directory.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
NOTE! The sub-directory "KITTY" * MUST * be created off your ROOT
directory, not off another sub-directory! You may use any
drive you wish but "KITTY" has to be located off the ROOT
directory!
--------------------------------------------------------------------
[C] - All other files will be created by the main programmes. No other
files need be changed. The files created, other than your
Bulletin(s), will be in the sub-directory KITTY.
[D] - The KITTYCAT! package you are receiving includes KITTEN! This is an
ACTIVITY.LOG "Scrubber". It will remove any entries you desire not
to retain in your log, ie. Sysop logging on locally, fake names the
Sysop uses to check the system, people who are no longer members of
the board and you do not want to have them counted in the stats.
KITTEN! creates a file named "SCRUB1.LST". This file is similar to
"DELOG3.LST" but they are <<NOT>> the same! KITTEN! renames your
file "ACTIVITY.LOG" to "ACTIVITY.OLD" (which is for your reference)
and writes a new "ACTIVITY.LOG" deleting the entries you specified.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
NOTE: If you enter a name as "John", <ALL> entries that start with
the name "John" will be deleted! Enter the name as it appears
in your ACTIVITY.LOG. The reasoning behind this is that if
you have an entry that you want to delete and the name appears
as "P73&^*D(/#$KW*(&*7\:'TYI8754%^%)$#!T&7JL@#$%^&*FG", you
need only enter the first 5 or so characters.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
[E] - To start any programme in KITTYCAT!, (after reading the file
"README.NOW"), first type:
MENU <Enter>
Then everything will fall into place and you are on your way.
[F] - KITTYCAT! has been used on an ACTIVITY.LOG up to 836K, over 1623
calls, and over 376 Users. It is designed for use on a rotating
monthly basis however you may use it otherwise.
[G] - WAMPUSCAT!, is a utility that makes possible the posting of CURRENT
and CUMULATIVE User statistics. It is included in your registered
package. Brief example of what WAMPUSCAT! does:
Let us say you have a very large ACTIVITY.LOG and you do not want to
continue using KITTYCAT! to show <ALL> the statistics from umpteen
weeks or months in the past. You want to start from a week ago or
the first of the month. But, you reason that if you do that, the
Users statistics will start all over from the date you select to
begin.
With WAMPUSCAT!, you can go into your ACTIVITY.LOG, collect all the
User data (times on, msgs written, U/L's, D/L's, CXR dropped), and
save it to a file named "WAMPUS.DAT". Then, you may select the
option in KITTYCAT!, ver. 1.0i, to use this data. KITTYCAT! will
proceed to list the Users CURRENT statistics first, then write
another list with all their past stats (or lack thereof...) in a
CUMULATIVE listing. the CUMULATIVE list will <INCLUDE> the current
stats so you and the User will see where they stand at the present
time (CURRENT) and their grand total (CUMULATIVE).
The DELETE option allows you to remove any Users from the WAMPUS
database file. It merely asks you for the names you wish to delete,
reads the file, removes the "dead wood", and rewrites the file..
Using WAMPUSCAT!, you no longer need to "file 13" your Activity
Logs.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Example of how to use WAMPUSCAT!:
The ACTIVITY.LOG at Duffey's Tavern last started on 30-Jun-87. I
ran WAMPUSCAT!, selected the <CREATE> option, and at the prompt
entered the "start date" as 06/30/87 and the "end date" as 07/31/87.
WAMPUSCAT! then created a data file which contained the User Data
for that date frame.
I then ran KITCON.EXE and entered 08/01/87 for the start date. As I
run KITTYCAT! as an <EVENT>, I entered 08/31/87 for the end date.
(KITTYCAT! automatically uses the last date in the Activity Log as
the end date when run as an EVENT).
KITTYCAT! runs and after posting the <CURRENT> User stats, brings in
the data that WAMPUSCAT! had previously gathered and collates it
with the current stats and produces a <CUMULATIVE> User Stats list.
In this fashion, my Users and myself are always aware of total
activity.
On the 1st of September, I ran WAMPUSCAT! again, this time selecting
the <ADD> option. I used 08/01/87 for the "start date" and 08/31/87
as the "end date" and WAMPUSCAT! scanned the Activity Log between
those dates, collected the data, then ADDED it to the previous data.
Now my data file contained the User data from 06/30/87 thru
08/31/87. Running KITCON.EXE now, I have the "start date" as
09/01/87 and the "end date" as 09/30/87. I have a current monthly
statistical posting together with a current AND cumulative User stat
posting.
[H] - Included in this package are the menu, main programme w/config file
and 9 utilities:
MENU - <ALL> programmes and utilities run from the MENU!
(only exception is KITCAT*.*** which may be run from the
menu OR as an event. KITCAT*.*** MUST FIRST BE CONFIGURED
FROM THE MENU!)
WHISKER1 - reads the DELOG3.LST created by KITTYCAT! and shows you
which files have been downloaded and how many times.
WHISKER2 - will search your Activity Log and find which files a
certain User has downloaded and how many times and will then write
a "USERxx.BBS" bulletin for you.
WHISKER3 - reads Activity Log & reports ALL downloads by ALL Users.
KITTEN! - (explained previously)
PEEKCAT! - will search your activity log for any User and give you
a report (monitor/disk/printer) in any of 3 categories; messages,
files U/L'd and D/L'd, or total activity on each call.
WAMPUSCAT! - (explained previously)
CALICO! - gives you the total picture on your Users.
TOMCAT! - checks your libraries/disk directories. Gives a report on
total files and any discrepancies. Searches for specific file. Also
will move files from one directory to another to match your library.
KITCON - the configuration programme for KITTYCAT! Creates KC.PRM
which is the parameter file for KITCAT1.EXE.
KITCAT1 - KITTYCAT!, the most versatile of any system analyzer for
"WILDCAT!" Bulletin Board Systems.
KITCAT2 - (module for KITTYCAT!)
KITCAT3 - (module for KITTYCAT!)
Hope you find these utilities useful.
In addition, all <CYNTERGOR> programmes and utilities are compatable with
all WILDCAT! versions, 1.00 thru 1.10(p). This means you can CONTINUE
your ACTIVITY.LOG when you upgrade with Mustang Software. You need not
start your log over.
We believe this to be in the tradition of KITTYCAT!, to grow with the
SysOps needs and desires, and we hope you find it a useful tool.
