** Read CPTFiles.lst for archive and contact information **
CPT compiles a database of information about conference participants, based
on the information contained in the MESSAGES.DAT files in QWK packets.
The following information is maintained (see database sample in CNF246.MEM):
1) Name of participant
2) Number of public messages sent (private messages are ignored)
3) Date of first message posted ("oldest")
4) Date of most recent message posted ("newest")
5) The two most recent BBS's used for posting to the conference
6) A single line of user-editable text ("Notes")
("!New!" is automatically put here when a participant is added)
Accompanying CPT are CPT-Sort, CPT-Stat, CPT-p, RoboQ, SRQ and SLMRQ.
These programs all have their own documentation files.
See CPT.CFG for information on using an unarchiver besides PKunzip v2.04g,
or for changing the switches used by PKunzip.
*** Usage information for CPT ***
Usage: CPT <QWKfile(s)> <CPT file>
Note: <CPT file> is any DOS filename, with an embedded conference number,
and with or without a file extension.
Caution: Do NOT use ".STT" as a file extension, .STT is used by CPT-Stat.
Examples:
CPT \qwks\kandy.qwk 123
CPT channel1.qw* cnf_456.mem
CPT c:\qwk\lun*.qwk c:\conf\mem_78.dat
CPT *.qwk 90
Memory requirements:
CPT reserves 400k of conventional memory for it's database, which
should be sufficient for 1000 or more participants, with notes.
CPT needs about another 200k to extract MESSAGES.DAT from the QWK.
While running, CPT provides a report of free RAM. If you run out
of memory, try the protected mode (DPMI) version, in CPT-P100.zip.
Speed: On my 486DX2-66, CPT can process over 100 messages per second.
