This is an addendum to CAL14S21.ZIP and contains a new version of CALLS.EXE
which addresses the problems or new features listed below. A sample CALLS.CNF
is also included as several new entries have been added.
Problems:
1: With the new feature of PCBoard 14.5a that allows single character Door
names, CALLS.EXE locks up.
Fixed the routine that found the Door name and stripped off the path
information.
2: Non ANSI callers were ignored (those with (A) in the log), only (N) & (G)
graphics modes were being recognized.
Added Non ANSI as graphics mode (A) so now all three modes are reported.
3: Sysop sessions were ignored when PCBoard was setup to use the Sysops true
name instead of just SYSOP.
Added SYSOPNAME option to config file to allow recognizing the Sysop
in the caller log when the full name is used instead of SYSOP. If not
given the default is SYSOP.
4: Average Event Length always should ZERO for my board,as the first event
activity was RNET which writes entries to the log that duplicate a User
logon and CALLS.EXE considers the Event to end the first caller entry.
This also causes problems that the Event does not terminate timing until
a caller logs on and this does not reflect event duration properly.
Added support for RNET that causes CALLS to not stop timing an event if
it sees the FirstName is RNET.EXE. Also Added EXCLUDENAME to allow skipping
another program like RNET.EXE that appears to log on as a User in the log.
If the first name of the User matches the EXCLUDENAME it is skipped.
(Also now allowed to specify up to 10 EXCLUDENAME entries)
Added the recognition of the line:
Scheduled Event ended at MM-DD-YY HH:MM:SS
to properly end the event time calculations rather than continuing time
until a caller logs on. This entry can be created by using a utility to
write lines to callers log. (Like my CL-PRINT.COM program.)
Added Event program report. Using the line
Event: program name started at HH:MM:SS MM-DD-YY
will begin the timing of an event program. Timing will end when another
line starting with 'Event: ' is detected, the Scheduled Event ended line
is detected or a User logon is deteced. The Number of times each program
is executed and total time is tracked and a report of Average time is
generated.
-= Average Event Program Times =-
Norton Speed Disk: 5 Times 31.6 Min Avg.
Backup: 5 Times 10.6 Min Avg.
PCBFile: 5 Times 6.2 Min Avg.
Call Analyzer: 5 Times 1.6 Min Avg.
5. Connect Type Report is not working.
Added recognition of 'Modem:' as connect type for PCBoard 14.x
compatability.
Added RINGFILTER ON/OFF to control removal of RING from CONNECT type
report. Also removes any additional text after the CONNECT XXXXXXXXX
message.
6. Batch Size Report is not working. (FREE Downloads also not working)
PCBoard 14.5a now supplies Batch transfer report, added support for
the format of this data so that this report now works.
PCBoard does not flag FREE or NO TIME Downloads in any way in the
caller log so this report can not 'easily' be made to work. The
amount of time the report would spend attempting to decide if a file
was FREE or not would not be worth it. If future versions of PCBoard
do note this in the caller log, I will get this report to work.
7. PCBVerify's report of "XXX-XXX-XXXX Added to trashcan" causes security
violation counts.
Fixed.
8. Sysop paged after hours, not counted.
Created seperate counter for this, along with report of Chat Time.
Added Node chat also
Added CHATMODE and NODEMODE which operate similar to EVENTMODE but
control Sysop Chat and Node Chat timing.
9. Messages left count did not include RNET imported messages, ZIPM
messages showed import & export count.
Made RNET import messages show in messages left count and also in
ZIPM (changed name to MAIL) count. RNET import counts as MAIL
executed.
10. Log off scripts did not count in Scripts Completed.
Made seperate counter for this.
13. Added configuration variable REPORTTYPE to control output generated.
ASCII will generate non-color version, ANSI will generate 'G' color
version, and BOTH will generate both (Default).
12. Added additional reports of Users who leave messages and Which Conference
is getting message traffic.
Added MAXMSGS & MAXUSERS to control new reports of Conference Messages
Left & User Messages Left
13. Added additional reports for reasons logged off and security violations.
Added Sysop Statistics 'S' report

14. Fixed problem with security levels being duplicated in .SAV file due to
spaces stripped off of first entry only.
15. Changed output structure of fileames in .SAV file to save space.
16. Added Language report by placing Language Number in Modem connect string
ie. Modem (1): CONNECT 2400
or Security Level string
ie. Caller Security (1): 50
17. Found limitation in graph routines that limited lists to 100 items, which
caused loss of many Names, Conference Bulletins, Conferences joined if
any list execeed that number of items, incresed limit to 500 which should
be sufficient for most systems, if not change the const (graph_num).
18. Added FILENAMES to control the saving of filenames and Counts to the
History File.
19. Added FILTERFILE Masks to allow filtering filenames from report and
history file. Wildcards are allowed and a special '#' wildcard will
match another '#' or a digit ('0' - '9') to aid in filtering capture
file downloads (#####?.ZIP and #####?.CAP).
20. Allowed for 10 EXCLUDENAME Entries & 10 FILTERFILE Masks Entries
21. Added ReportType of PCBOARD to generate a single outputfile using
PCBoard @Xnn color codes
22. Added Last-On Report, requires using program like CL-PRINT V2.0 to
write a line to the CALLER log file in the format of
Last On: MM-DD-YY (HH:MM)
or
Last On: MM-DD-YY (HH:MM) for nn Minute(s)
The report format look like this:
-= Last Called In =-
Within One Week: 59 (28.1%) │░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░█
Previous Day: 44 (21.0%) │▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓█

23. Changed files downloaded report to not generate an ANSI sequence when
there is no change in color.
24. Added more support for Southern Style & Three Stooges Language file
entries in CALLERS log.
25. Added CATCHALLREPORT Variable to log text lines passing thru the
Catchall routine to assist in changing the line parsing routines.
26. Added MAIL Door support (CAM-Mail is all I have, but shoud work for
QMAIL also I think, I need CALLER Log entries for other Mail doors
if support is desired, also any other Doors that a report is desired
to have. Upload entry data and report data wanted to my BBS.)
If you know of any other problems that exist or some other data that is
not being reported that should be, let me know. >>>>>Gary Meeker
Source code is not included, as I don't wish to distribute modified source
code, but feel other Sysops might benefit from the changes made. If you
need the source code, you can request it from me on my BBS, but I ask
that you do not upload it any where else.
