- What is TimeStat ?
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
- TimeStat will create a bulletin that will display in a 24 hour format the %
- of calls to your BBS.
-
- TimeStat will create both a ASCII and a ANSI bulletin.
-
-
- How can it be used ?
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
- It is really very simple. Start by copying TIMESTAT.EXE, TIMESTAT.CFG to
- some directory of your hard-disk (you can create one called TIMESTAT). Next
- you will have to configure your TIMESTAT.CFG for your BBS Software.
- Here is an example of the TIMESTAT.CFG file:
-
- EXPRESS BBS <--- Name of your BBS (up to 30 characters)
- XXXXXXX <--- Registration number or leave XXXXXXX
- UBBS <--- Either 'UBBS' or 'PCB145' BBS Systems
- ENG <--- Either (ENG)lish or (POR)tuguese language
- 2,1,7,3,5 <--- Colours used.
- 219 <-- Ascii character value for the graph bars
- C:\UBBS\FILES\BLT14 <--- Path and name for the ASCII bulletin
- C:\UBBS\FILES\BLT14G <--- Path and name for the ANSI coloured bulletin
- C:\UBBS\FILES\CALLER1 <--- Path and name of the Callers Log.
-
- If you are running a Multiple Node System, just continue adding lines to the
- CFG file with the path and names of the other callers Log.
- Example:
-
- C:\UBBS\FILES\CALLER1
- C:\UBBS\FILES\CALLER2
- C:\UBBS\FILES\CALLER3
- Etc...
-
- If you prefer to use separate bulletins in each node, you can also configure
- several .CFG files as the example:
-
- TIMEN1.CFG ---> CFG file for Node 1
- TIMEN2.CFG ---> CFG file for Node 2
-
- In this case, you must run TIMESTAT with a Command Line like this:
-
- TIMESTAT TIME1.CFG
- TIMESTAT TIME2.CFG
-
-
- ■ By choosing PCB145 BBS system, TimeStat will create a PCBANSI file instead
- of the normal ANSI.
-
-
- ■ You can costumize the colours of your ANSI/PCBANSI bulletin.
-
- Here's how it can be done:

-
- When and where should TimeStat be called ?
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
- Since the TimeStat task may be a bit slow, it is better to run it only once
- a week. But it's up to you! You can also call it from the BAT file you use
- to start your BBS or configure it as a daily event.
-
- If you have created a special directory for TimeStat, here is just a example
- of how it could be done (include the lines somewhere inside the BAT file you
- use to start your BBS):
-
- CD C:\TIMESTAT <--- Switch to TimeStat's directory
- TIMESTAT <--- Execute the program
- CD C:\BBS <--- Return to your BBS directory
-
-
-
- TimeStat is Shareware
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
- You can copy TimeStat to friends or Upload it to BBSs, so long as no charge
- is made for the Software and you always include all the supplied files,
- unchanged and archived together.
-
- It took me a lot of time to fine tune TimeStat, in order to provide you with
- what I hope to be bug-free Software. If you start using TimeStat in your BBS
- and would like to help support my work, a donation of US$7 would be much
- apreciated. If you send the donation, please use the REGISTER.FRM file
- supplied. Then I will send you by mail your registration number.
- This registration number will avoid the annoying [UNREGISTERED] phrase
- randomly placed in the bulletin.
-
