DID YOU PAY MONEY FOR THIS SOFTWARE?
Floozy is FREEWARE
This software is FREEWARE. This software is free. If you have paid
money for this software, then you have been ripped off. I have written
this program for you, for free. If you paid for "support" from where you
got this file, then you are also being ripped off. There is only one
person who can fully help you with the operation of this program:
ME (Bob Rye, the guy who wrote this program.)
You cannot obtain support from some unqualified desk-doofus hiding behind
the facade of "a support specialist". All that these people are doing is
making money from you, the innocent end-user, and ripping me off by
immorally making money from *MY* programs.
Please take a stand against these companies. Please don't buy *FREE*
software from these companies. If you would like copies of any (or all)
of MY software (anything by Bob Rye) you can have them for *FREE*. That's
right, for nothing. All I ask for is a blank disk, to copy the programs
onto, and the cost of return postage (and your address!) Then if you want
"support" for my programs, send Fido Netmail to me (addresses are at the
bottom of this document) or snail-mail me and you'll get real support.
STAND UP AND BE COUNTED.
Say NO! to costly FREE software.

Caveats:
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
* Floozy now caters for those sysops/operators who would like to know
specifics about their Foozle activities. Floozy now understands an
additional 3 run-time switches: -a or -A, -g or -G and -n or -N. In order
of appearance, these are:
-a is used when you only want to list the [A]reas which messages were
exported to/imported from. This switch can only be used in conjunction
with the -D (DLGmode) switch.
-g is used for when you only want to know about the [G]eneral stats from
your Foozle log. Again, only usable in conjunction with -D.
-n is used for when you want to only know about [N]ode information, or,
which nodes/points messages were exported to/imported from. Will again
only work in conjunction with -D.
You cannot use -a -g -n on the same command line simultaneously. If you
want to check everything about your current FZ.log, then just use NO
switches. This defaults to giving info on all specifics. Thanks to Mario
Nicotra for these suggestions!
* There are currently 3 command-line options (see above) of which two are
the '-D' or '-d' "DLG mode" option, or IBM block-characters mode (try it
and you'll see what I mean!) and a possible filename extension, as in
"Floozy VD0:fz.log" which will allow Floozy to find your fz.log file in
another directory.
* Sometimes the overall percentages may not add to 100.000%. This is
because FLOOZY uses C= floating-point emulation for its maths, and this
means that the numbers are sometimes "rounded" down. This usually means a
drop of .001%, or one-thousandth of a percent!
* Any problems? Call me *;-)
