Welcome to BiAnalyZ! v1.2!!
╔═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╗
║I. WHAT IS IT? ║
╚═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝
BiAnalyZ! is a BIMODEM.LOG file analyzer. Most other protocols have log
file analyzers. They tell you how many files you've transferred, how many
bytes and so on. But ever since I got addicted to BiModem(c) I wondered
"why have the log file, if I can't get a summary of it?". Well here it is
BiAnalyZ! gives you the following features:
* A WEALTH of information from your BiModem(c) log file. Including
** Number of separate remote sites in log file.
** Number of attempted transfers in log file.
** Number of aborted transfers in log file.
** High and low baud rates recorded in file.
** Number of connections to each separate remote site.
->R<- SEPERATE BREAKDOWNS FOR EACH INDIVIDUAL SITE ENCOUNTERED IN FILE!!!
(When the output is filtered to a file)
* Extreme flexibility on your output!
** Specify Summary Output to Screen Only
->R<- ** Specify Individual BBS Breakdown to File Only
->R<- ** Specify Both Summary to Screen and Breakdown to File
** Specify Summary Report to file only.
** Bulletin-Type Top BiModem'ers Report
->R<- ** ANSI Color Bulletin for Top 9 Users
( ->R<- : Features reserved for REGISTERED USERS ONLY)

5. EXAMPLES:
BIANALYZ
{ Start BiAnalyZ in Menu-Mode }
BIANALYZ /S C:\TELIX\BIMODEM.LOG
{ Easy, summary of the C:\TELIX\BIMODEM.LOG file to the screen }
BIANALYZ /B C:\TELIX\BIMODEM.LOG BIMODEMS.TXT
{ Breaks down your BiModem Log file and puts individual stats
in a file called BIMODEMS.TXT }
( SEE SAMPLE OUTPUT IN APPENDIX A )
BIANALYZ /F C:\TELIX\BIMODEM.LOG BIMODEMS.TXT
{ Same as above, except you will also see a summary on the
screen }
BIANALYZ /O C:\TELIX\BIMODEM.LOG SUMMARY.TXT
{ Summary of the C:\TELIX\BIMODEM.LOG File, filtered to a
file named SUMMARY.TXT }
( SEE SAMPLE OUTPUT IN APPENDIX B )
BIANALYZ /RY10 C:\TELIX\BIMODEM.LOG BIUSERS.TXT
{ Produce Top BiModem'ers Report, Include the identification
line "Unregistered" for those BiModem'ers not registered.
Include only the 10 highest cumulative bytes transferred.
Filter the output to a file called BIUSERS.TXT }
( SEE SAMPLE OUTPUT IN APPENDIX C )
BIANALYZ /RN20 C:\TELIX\BIMODEM.LOG BIUSERS.TXT
{ Same as above, except don't include the identification line
"Unregistered" as a Top User (give me a break guys! That
could be a hundred people!) And filter the output to a file
called BIUSERS.TXT }
( SEE SAMPLE OUTPUT IN APPENDIX D )
BIANALYZ /AY C:\TELIX\BIMODEM.LOG B_BULLET.ANS
{ Produces a file called B_BULLET.ANS which is an ANSI color
file suitable for bulletin-posting, the "Y" means that
that the standard "Unregistered" identity line will be
treates as a top bimodem-er. }
6. Misc Running Info:
A. DON'T put any spaces in-between the /R and its qualifiers:
DON'T: /R Y 10
DO: /RY10
B. If any of the required parameters aren't present, BiAnalyZ will
burp and give you a help screen (isn't THAT special!)
╔═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╗
║III. Why Register: ║
╚═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝
1. Because you should. I have spent MANY hours and probably many years
off my life in building this program and I deserve some (if only a little)
compensation.
2. You will receive the "/F" and "/B" options which propagate the
individual site statistical breakdown to file (The Best Part) as well
as the "/A" ANSI Bulletin option.
3. Your registered version will have your name on the screen, instead
of UNREGISTERED, as well as your own serial number.
4. You will notified of further releases, and entitled to free upgrades
up to version 2.0.
╔═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╗
║ IV. Version Information ║
╚═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝
10 February 1991 : Initial Release
17 March 1991 : Version 1.1
Took away interactive input. Replaced with command line
options allowing for batch, or unattended execution.
Added /R option for an attractive report, suitable as
a BBS Bulletin for displaying top BiModem contributers.
4 April 1991 : Version 1.2
Cleaned Up Reports, Added complete Menu-ed input with
context-sensitive help key. Formatted outputs and numeric
displays for ease of reading. Added /A Option for ANSI
file, idiot-proofed output file to avoid destroying the
original BIMODEM.LOG file. Auto-senses the presense of
the log file in the current directory (menu-mode)

║ VI. Reaching The Author ║
╚═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝
I would GREATLY appreciate ANY comments, complaints, kudos, etc. As a matter
of fact, up until 30 April '91 I will provide anyone a registered, full
featured version of the program via modem in return for two of the following:
1. Useful, honest comments.
2. Help in distributing the program.
3. Access on any existing BBS system.
Leave me private E-Mail on Down and Dirty PCBoard BBS at (505) 299-5402. Please
include the details of your proposal, don't forget to leave me a telephone #.
Or you may write to me at the address listed at the bottom of this manual.

BiAnalyZ! has some good features. But the meat and potatoes of this program
is in its individual BBS statistical breakdown. This is only available through
the registered version (probably well worth $ 7.50). Here's a sample of my
individual BBS statistical breakdown:
