What Does GOSCAN v2.03 Do?
───────────────────────────
GOSCAN v2.03 will read/scan your GOMAIL.LOG and generate statistical output
screens dealing with certain areas of scanning. It is capable of creating
outputs dealing with TNet, General Stats, Node Stats, Conference Stats, and
a Tomcat Opening Screen. All output files are generated using the @xx@ codes
used by WILDCAT! v3.xx and are also RIPPED for WILDCAT! v3.90+ usage.
Requirements?
──────────────
There are 3 requirements made for this program. 1) You must make sure that
COMSPEC=C:\DOS\COMMAND.COM or this program will hang! 2) WCHOME environment
variable should be set by typing SET WCHOME=C:\WC30 (No Trailing BackSlash).
3) GOSCAN.KEY file must be found containing your boards proper information
for usage of this program.
New Features in GoScan 2.x?
───────────────────────────
■ ALL Databases have been converted to Binary Formats
■ Generates a Conference Statistical Output File
■ Generates a TNet Statistical Output File
■ Reads GOMAIL's GOCONF.DAT file and WC's CONFDESC.DAT For Conf Info
■ Charge specified nodes for mail (Charge set for 1k of mail)
■ Requires a DEMO/REGISTERED Key File For Operation
■ Single Configuration Program [GSCONFIG.EXE]
■ Single DataBase Editor Program [GSEDIT.EXE]
■ More Cursor Key Movements Available
■ Better Programming ALL together! <grin!>
Command Line Options?
──────────────────────
GoScan v2.03 has several command line parameters that either cut certain
routines out to allow for faster processing or does specific tasks that it
normally doesn't do on usual execution. Below are the command line options:
/NETMAIL[NetMail Dir] -=- Creates NetMail Payment Messages for mail if current
DATE is the 1st of that month. [TIP!] This must be
the last command parameter.
Example: [NetMail Dir] = [C:\Im\Mail\]
(must use the brackets!)
/ARCHIVE -=- Archives ALL Log Files into GMLOGS.ZIP.
/NOCONF -=- Disables the output of Conference Statistics.
/NOTNET -=- Disables the output of TNet Statistics.
/NONODES -=- Disables the output of Node Information From GOMail.
/NODISPLAY -=- Disables the display of stats after scanning logs.
/NOPROCESS -=- Updates output files without scanning new log files.
About NetMail Msgs?
────────────────────
For NetMail messages, they are created in the specified directory with the
name of x.MSG as used by InterMail and FrontDoor mailers. We're Unsure if
this option shall work for D'Bridge and BinkleyTerm. In addition, when the
Netmail message is created, a file called PAYMENT.RPT is created listing
ALL nodes and payment requested from those nodes so the sysop may have a
master copy. Also, for ALL nodes that are on the charge acount, the account
is then reset and a file called NETMAIL.SNT is created to disable the sending
of Netmail messages. On the second of every month, the NETMAIL.SNT file is
deleted and the program awaits the first once more. Lastly, in the NETMAIL
messages created by GOSCAN v2.02 there are two files that are used. The
first file is TAGLINE.DAT which contains the information that follows your
name at the end of the message. Finally you have ORIGIN.DAT which contains
your ORIGIN LINE which shouldn't exceed 50 characters.
Sample TAGLINE.DAT: Author of GOSCAN v2.03
Sample ORIGIN.DAT : TkdBbs Software HQ - Home to GOSCAN v2.03 -
Both files only consist of the first line of each. Nothing else is read from
these files.

Support HeadQuarters at (704)982-9223 and leave a specific note to the

Key Files?
───────────
When obtaining your KEY file, please be sure to log on using the name in
which you plan to place in the SYSOP field within this program. The KEY
GENERATOR door uses to LOGON name as the FULL SYSOP name in the .KEY file.
In addition, be sure to check so that you enter in your WILDCAT Registration
Number correctly or you'll receive a BAD .KEY file. Once you've received
the DEMO key file, please rename it to GOSCAN.KEY for GOSCAN v2.x to fuction
properly!!!
Another note on our keys we generate... Like other programmers who program
their keys for 30 days, we decided NOT! We also felt to have an expiration
even on the DEMO keys. So we came to the conclusion that ALL key files are
GOOD for 60 days. After 60 days, the program stops working and posts a
messages stating that the KEY has expired.
We hope since changing the keys from 30 to 60 days that this will encourage
more people to use this program even though it is keyed. It also makes it a
little better on the phone bill to only have to call once every two months!
Registration?
──────────────
When you decide to register this program, the cost shall be $15 dollars in
U.S. currency. You can either send CASH, CHECK, or MONEY ORDER. To obtain
your Registered Key file, after sending the ORDER.FRM along with the $15,
as soon as the order is received and full payment paid, you'll get a message
posted on the SUPPORT HQ Bbs with your .KEY file attached. This .KEY file
will never expire. You must call and download it from the attached message.
Sorry, no File Requests shall be made through FrontEnd mailers.
