QANALYST (v2.0) by Barn Owl Software REGISTRATION ($15.00)
(Abstracted from program documentation)...
Qanalyst will run on an IBM PC, XT, AT, PS/2, or compatible computer.
You must use DOS 2.0 or better and have at least 190k of free memory.
Qanalyst begins when you enter "QANALYST" at the DOS prompt. There
are also quite a few options you can use to alter the way the program
runs, but don't worry. Some options are for advanced concepts, and
some may not even apply to you.
cfg-file Qanalyst configuration filename. Qanalyst looks for
QANALYST.CFG, but this option lets you specify another
name. You can also specify a path if you wish.
/8 Toggle 8x8 font. This option toggles the EGA/VGA "8x8"
font to provide more than 25 lines on a screen. It only
works if an EGA or VGA monitor is present.
/B Batch file execution. Qanalyst asks you to confirm the
current configuration before doing anything else. This
option orders the program to use a configuration file
as-is. Note: This options requires a cfg-file name, or
QANALYST.CFG must be available where Qanalyst can find
it (see page 11).
/BL Last-call analysis. Reports cover only the last call
you made. This option implies batch file execution.
See appendix section C.2 for further details.
/BS[ph#] Single-number analysis. Reports cover only a specific
telephone number you declare. This option implies batch
file execution. See appendix section C.2 for further
details.
/E Ignore EMS. Qanalyst will use expanded (LIM EMS) memory
if there is enough available to store a copy of its
overlay file. This command tells Qanalyst to ignore EMS
memory.
/F[date][:nnn]
Default "From" date. Qanalyst normally uses the first
date in each log file as the default "From:" date for
analysis and maintenance. This option lets you specify
a different date. It's extremely useful with the /B
command-line option because it lets you do batch-mode
work on specific dates in a log file. The syntax is
"/Fxx-xx-xx". If you don't specify a date, Qanalyst
will use today's date. ...You can also specify a
variable /T value from the /F parameter by including a
":nnn" at the end. This tells Qanalyst you want to set
the default "To:" date to be nnn days forward of the
"From:" date. (See the /B option if you just want a
report on the last call you made.)
/I Ignore Qanalyst configuration files. Qanalyst is geared
to hunt for its configuration file. This option tells
the program to use its internal defaults. Note: The /B
and /I options are mutually exclusive.
/N Noiseless operation. This option toggles the program
into total silence at startup.
/T[date][:nnn]
Default "To" date. Qanalyst normally uses the last date
in each log file as the default "To:" date for analysis
& maintenance. This option lets you specify a different
date. It's extremely useful with the /B command-line
option because it lets you do batch-mode work on
specific dates in a log file. The syntax is
"/Txx-xx-xx". ...You can also specify a variable /F
value from the /T parameter by including a ":nnn" at the
end. This tells Qanalyst you want to set the default
"From:" date to be nnn days back from the "To:" date.
(See the /B option if you just want a report on the last
call you made.)
- - -
Syntax: You must put a space between each option. Qanalyst
accepts parameters in any order. And, you may use "-x" instead
of "/x" if you wish.
See appendix C for visual aids on starting Qanalyst at the
DOS prompt.

Qanalyst searches for QMODEM.CNF, the Qmodem configuration file, like
it searches for the Qanalyst configuration file. If found, Qanalyst
will use Qmodem's screen colors to make you feel a bit more "at home"
with the program. Qanalyst uses the log and phone-rate files
described in the configuration file. If it finds no such file, it
will search the default directory for a phone-rate data file called
QANALYST.PRF and a Qmodem log file called SESSION.LOG (or whatever
you called it in the QMODEM.CNF file).
