PAFNMST - PAF Name File Statistics - Copyright 1993
Version 1 - September 1, 1993
By Mike St. Clair
PAFNMST analyzes a PAF Name file (NAME2.DAT) and lists a number of
statistics. Although this is mostly useless information, if you are
curious about your name file, this program will help satisfy that
curiousity!
PAFNMST is Freeware. This means you are not required to pay any license
fee to make legal use of it but the author retains ownership and the
copyright. PAFNMST can be freely distributed as long as no charge is
required in excess of the cost of distribution. This file (PAFNMST.DOC)
must be included with any copy of the program.
There is no warranty that PAFNMST performs any useful function. Still I
would be delighted to hear if you liked it or it has been useful, to
accept reports of problems and to receive suggestions for possible future
enhancements. The program was created to help me understand my own name
file while I was writing a column for the NGS/CIG Digest.
There are no options or parameters. Either copy the program (PAFNMST.EXE)
to the directory that contains your PAF data or to a directory which is
included in your DOS PATH. Then change to the directory containing your
PAF data and type the command "PAFNMST". The resulting information will
be displayed on your screen.
You can reach me to report success or problems, or make suggestions via
the following:

The latest version of PAFNMST will be found on GSDS BBSes throughout the
country. This version (which will probably be the only one!) will be
found as PAFNMST1.ZIP on BBSes, PAFNMST1.EXE on GEnie, and PAFNMS.ZIP on
CompuServe.
