- LogStat RA Log Analyzer
- by Jason Duke

- -=> Notes <=-
- Please send ANY questions, comments, suggestions, bugs, etc., to Jason
- Duke, FidoNet 1:381/102 netmail. I can also be reached via CircuitNet
- mail at node 915505 in the Universal Conference. If you do not have
- access to CircuitNet or FidoNet netmail, I can be reached in the Fido-
- Net Remote Access Support echoes, RA_UTIL and RA_SUPPORT. Thanks!
-
- -=> Plans - Please give me your opinion on these! <=-
- And also we MAY add an option in the config file for LogStat to write
- that it has processed a log into the log after it reads it. What do
- you think of that one?
- Logstat will keep a datafile on log statistics so you can delete the logs
- right away after processing and still keep an ongoing tally of them!
-
- -=> Program History <=-
- 0.87, 08-06-93
- Some cosmetic changes...
- EMS support and a CONFIGURATION routine coming SOON!
-
- 0.86, 07-25-93
- Finally corrected problem with monochrome screens not displaying properly
- FINALLY fixed the bit about log dates. Now LogStat will be accurate by
- choosing the earliest date in a log for the starting date and the latest
- date in the log for the ending date (written on the bulletin). This
- problem was mentioned in v0.30α, and it is FINALLY fixed.
-
- 0.81, 06-16-93
- Whoops! I thought I had made allowances for expanded log formats. My
- beta-tester and I both use compact so we didn't catch a bug with some
- date tracking until a local sysop sent me his output file. WHOOPS!
- Well, it is fixed now. (I am almost sure after some rigid testing.)
- Corrected a couple grammatical errors...
- I guess EMS support will have to wait until the next version. I HAD to
- get this bug-fix out though.
-
- 0.70, 06-03-93
- Removed some unnecessary ANSI code from the ANSI output file; it's display
- is shorter and faster now.
- Moved tons of code to an overlay file to speed things up (maybe)
- Expanded Memory support IS READY, but it is deactivated in this version since
- I haven't added command-line parameters to turn it off (for people who
- have problems with LogStat in EMS.) It WILL be functioning by the next
- version.
- Got rid of cursor in all output during operation
- First PUBLIC release. This one was hatched into SDS and RADIST!
-
- 0.60, 04-27-93
- COMPLETELY re-worked the way the program runs and displays information (while
- running).
- Changed the output format of some dates in the bulletins. This added a
- LITTLE extra code and made room for future work I plan to do with dates.
- Got rid of some unnecessary code that I forgot about. :-)
-
- 0.55ß, 04-11-93
- Fixed one of our first unchecked bugs which added some garbled junk into the
- output files. (Thanks Curtiss)
- Small change in output file (hardly noticeable)
- Made a few changes in the registration file
-
- 0.54ß, 04-11-93
- COMPLETELY re-worked the output files to have a nice picture in them. It
- wasn't easy, so if you find any bugs with it please notify me.
- I shortened some code, but since I added some stuff it isn't noticeable. :(
-
- 0.50ß, 04-09-93
- Added some MAJOR code changes I've been putting off for a few versions!
- New registration form... Please send this in to register LogStat!
- Changed configuration options. Now 0 = NEVER DISPLAY, 1 = ALWAYS DISPLAY,
- 2 = DISPLAY ONLY IF FOUND AT LEAST ONCE. Sound good? Your old config.
- file will work fine, but you may wish to update it if you don't like
- seeing zeros in your LogStat reports!
-
- 0.47ß, 04-07-93
- Added tally for Users Removed. You will need to alter your configuration
- file.
- LogStat now supports standard the internal RA file transfers as well us
- standard Filedoor transfers!
-
- 0.46ß, 03-28-93
- Corrected small bug in one of the scanning routines.
- Fixed the right-column "READING" window to correct for expanded log format.
- Made a few minor cosmetic changes.
-
- 0.45ß, 03-27-93
- Completely revamped the registration codes. Make sure to copy the NEW
- configuration file and edit it to suit your needs.
- Finally wrote some (rough draft) documentation. Let me know what you think.
-
- 0.40ß, 03-20-93
- Added right column display of logfile as it read!
- Now displays number of lines in logfile after processing.
- Added Registration Capabilities. Beta Testers get FREE keys!
-
- 0.32ß, 03-07-93
- Completely changed the way LogStat tests for existence of files
- Added capitalization and paths to all filenames
- Removed filesharing support - It was causing some problems. I will put it
- back in with a future version!
- Small change made to opening; added a pause and also changed the code a bit.
-
- 0.30α, 03-02-93
- Changed a part of the title screen display that was still ANSI to direct
- BIOS calls (so monochrome monitors don't look all scrambled with ANSI
- codes...)
- Finally we have limited log date support. The bug is that it will give the
- starting date of the FIRST LOG on the command-line and the last date of
- the LAST LOG on the command-line. With one log it is fine, but with more
- it may be erroneous. This will be fixed soon.
-
- 0.20α, 02-28-93
- Changed the way version numbers are incremented
- Added filesharing support - must have SHARE.EXE loaded.
- This means it will lock files it uses (like when it reads the log) to
- prevent serious problems.
-
- 0.19α, 02-27-93
- Made TONS of changes in how the code works, increasing efficiency
- Added REQUIRED configuration file support:
- BBS Name
- Sysop Name
- ANSI/ASCII output filenames (and paths)
- Now user can configure which log data he wants to tally and turn the rest
- off!
- Code at top of config file is used to tell LogStat that it is a config
- file, so mistakes in command-line parameters can be trapped!
-
- v0.17α, 02-26-93
- Totally reworked opening screen display routines
- Changed opening screen text
- Added ANSI color (w/ BIOS calls, not direct screen writes) to status
- messages displayed by program
-
- v0.16α, 02-25-93
- Added ANSI output file!
- Added creation time and date to output files
- Fixed a new mistake with detecting Incorrect Passwords
- Removed small piece of code that was taking up 3k!
- Small changes to opening screen
-
- v0.15α, 02-25-93
- Made many cosmetic changes
- Added leading spaces to counters
- Got rid of some un-needed code
-
- v0.13α, 02-25-93
- Expanded to include more log activities
- Added ANSI opening
- Removed some needless text to speed up operation.
-
- v0.11α, 02-25-93
- Changed output to file rather than screen
- Added error trapping to avoid run-time errors and catch mistakes in command-
- line
- Nicer Display
-
- v0.10α, 02-24-93
- LogStat created!
