- This is a completely Public Domain Program, don't send money just call
- my board if you want and check it out. Maybe make a couple of
- suggestions. I do have a version that works by date but I'll have to
- find it and release it. This version was written in MSC 5.1
-
- KEEPCALL was designed because I keep forgetting to review the size of
- my callers log in PCBoard 14.2 and it tends to grow extreamly fast
- and suck up alot of disk space. This was designed to run in your
- event so you won't have to think about it anymore. I want to thank
- Bob Smith for pointing out that other people may want to use something
- like this for their BBS's. I have been running a crude version of
- this for years. (Its still pretty crude but its fast)
-
- You MUST have a screen driver device loaded in your config.sys file,
- ANSI.SYS - ZANSI.SYS - NANSI.SYS - FANSI.SYS it really doesn't matter as
- long as one of these is loaded. It will work without it but its not very
- pretty to look at.
-
- Basically what KEEPCALL does is take a file and checks to see if its over
- 100K, If it is then it cuts it down to 100K keeping the 63 column format of
- the CALLERS log intact. I will probably come with a version to allow the
- SYSOP to choose the size he/she wants the callers log kept at, but, until I
- here that it is wanted by other SYSOPs then this is it for now.
-
- You can rename the program anything you want as long as its for your own
- personal use. Please keep everything in tact with the proper names if you
- carry it on your BBS or distribute it in any way. I of course take no
- responsiblity for any harm that may result as a running of this program.
- But those of you who have used other programs of mine know the chance of
- the is minimal.

-
- This will work on any ASCII file however you will loose alot of data as
- this program was specifically designed to work on the CALLERS log of
- PCBoard. It only reads 63 columns per line to insure caller file integrity
- so any other file this is used on will be dramatically chopped down.
