*************************************************************************
* REPORT.EXE *
* A PCBoard 15 Sysop Utility *
* version: 1.8 date: 05/13/1994 *
* (c) Copyright 1994 by Al & Mike Segura *
*************************************************************************
Purpose: To analyze the PCBoard USERS file information and generate
reports to aid the Sysop in identifying abusive, duplicate
and questionable users--thereby increasing BBS integrity
and security. The program directly supports our CALLERID
PPE program, but will function without it as well.
Contents: 1. REPORT.DOC this file.
2. REPORT.EXE the subject EXE file.
3. FILE_ID.DIZ a brief BBS text description of this item.
4. CID-BLT sample CallerID Stats Bulletin
Description: REPORT.EXE will generate two ASCII text disk file reports:
MASTER.LST and MATCHES.LST.
1. MASTER.LST is a master listing of all users, indexed in
home/voice phone # numerical sequence. The listing
includes: user name, security level, home/voice phone #,
business/data phone #, CallerID phone number (if avail-
able), and last date logged-on.
2. MATCHES.LST is a report divided into several categories,
listing users with matching information. The matching
categories are: 1. Passwords, 2. Home Phone #, 3. Business
Phone #, and 4. CallerID Phone #. Every entry under each
category will contain the user's name, security level,
last logon date, and matching information.
In addition, three other reports are generated: 1. Users
with phone numbers less than 10 digits, 2. Users with
phone numbers greater than 10 digits, and 3. Users with
CallerID No-match Hit status (requires our CALLERID.PPE
to be installed).
These reports can then be printed and reviewed by the Sysop
for further corrective action.
3. The program also generates a PCB text display file,
complete with color codes, named CID-BLT, which provides
a displayable bulletin of CallerID statistics.
Execution: The program is executed by entering the program name (REPORT.
EXE) followed by the path/name of the PCBoard USERS file.
(i.e. REPORT C:\PCB\MAIN\USERS). NOTE: the USERS file is
only 'read', NO modifications are made!!
If you do not want CallerID info reporting, then enter the
command line switch, such as: REPORT USERS N and the info
will be disabled. The 'N' switch tells REPORT no CallerID
reporting.
Once executed, the program displays an opening credit, follow-
ed by status messages, such as: reading user records, searching
for matches, writing reports, etc. The two report files will
be located in the same directory as the program file (REPORT.
EXE).
The program may be run stand-alone or from an EVENT or Batch
file. If older versions of the two reports are present, the
program will over-write them.
Registration: Registration fee is $10 US, and applies to all future versions
of the program as well--in other words, only register once.
Payable in cash, check or money-order and mailable to:
A. Segura, P.O. Box 1089, Sterling, VA, 20167-1089.
When you register, you will receive the key to eliminate the
UNREGISTERED copy messages.
Also, if you would like to provide suggestions for
improvement to the program, bug reports, or just a note
of thanks or hello, please forward those as well. See
below for my mailing address and BBS number. Additionally,
I frequently browse the RIME Sysop and PCBoard conferences,
although contacting me there is not as reliable because
sometimes I get too busy to call.
Updates: The latest version of the EXE program can be obtained from
my BBS: SBG Online! BBS (703) 450-9456. If you have any
comments or suggestions for improvement, you can leave them
there also. The file will be found in directory #1 as a
FREE/NOTIME file. The BBS runs PCBoard 15 at 14400v42bis.
We are currently working on development of version 2.0,
which will include a Bulletin Generator of CallerID statis-
tics and a Sysop configurable options file. So, if you
have a 'wish-list' item or comments to be considered for
incorporation, please contact us by mail or on our BBS.
Source If you desire a diskette containing the C source code so
Code: you can modify it for your own use, the cost is $25 US. I
accept cash, check, money order, or VISA/MC. You can place
an order online on the BBS (703) 450-9456 or by mail at:
A. Segura, P.O. Box 1089, Sterling, VA, 20167-1089.
Additionally, for $25, you can subscribe to the PPE
conference on my BBS. The conference will always contain
the latest version of the source code for CALLBLOC,
CALLERID, VULGARID and several other PPEs for immediate
downloading. The subscription period lasts one year. We
also have the latest version of the PIER Shareware CDROM
always online. You can even subscribe online with your
VISA/MC via (S)cript Questionaire #2 for immediate access.
Distribution: You may freely distribute this complete package, only in an
unmodified form. No remuneration may be collected or charged
for this work by anyone other than the below noticed
individual/company except for that cost incurred in actual
electronic media production (i.e. diskette or CDROM). In
other words, it can be placed on BBSs, shareware CDROMS, etc.
but I/my company reserves the right of copyright and
remuneration for the actual work. The source code may NOT
be distributed by anyone other than the below listed company.
Disclaimer: The user agrees when utilizing this package that he does so

to the functional performance or liability of the package.
