Version 1.1b
Release Date: October 21, 1991
(C) Copyright 1991 - All Rights Reserved
by Kevin C. Carr
a PCBoard 14 Utility
===============================================================================
DESCRIPTION
~~~~~~~~~~~
This PCBoard utility reads the CALLERs log file and gives you information
on your conferences. This is helpful for sysops with lots of conference
who want to find the VERY active confererences or who want to remove the
inactive conferences. A file called GOODCONF.TXT will be generated by
GOODCONF.EXE which lists all conferences alphabetically with the number of
messages left in the conference and how many times it has been joined.
===============================================================================
SETUP
~~~~~
The first time you run GOODCONF.EXE, the program will ask you for your d anything you want, but I will address them as NEWSMAN.CFG.
BBS name and the path to your CNAMES file. This information is stored
in GOODCONF.DAT. You may edit this file with any text editor.
===============================================================================
RUNNING GOODCONF
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
GOODCONF does not record delete or rename the callers file. In order
for GOODCONF to operate properly, the CALLER file should be deleted or
renamed after running GOODCONF. If the file is not, all of the old
information already obtained from the CALLER file, will be added again
and again and again. I had to do it this way since many people have
lots of different CALLER files that this program should be run on.
For example: GOODCONF CALLER1
GOODCONF CALLER2
...
GOODCONF CALLER8
GOODCONF CALLER9
In my event, I rename the callers file to the current date and
ZIP the CALLER file. Just make sure you delete or rename all
CALLER files!

HISTORY
~~~~~~~
Ver 1.0 - First Release!
09/03/91
Ver 1.1 - GOODCONF now creates a GOODCONF.ANS which is just like
09/11/91 GOODCONF.TXT except that it uses ANSI codes instead of
PCBoard @ color codes.
GOODCONF now supports up to 600 conferences. I don't think
anyone will need more than that.
GOODCONF now recognizes and properly functions with messages
left "via Qmail" door.
Ver 1.1a - Someone noted a problem that caused GOODCONF to abort if the
09/19/91 name of Conference 0 was not "Main Board". Fixed!
Ver 1.1b - Versions 1.1a started causing problems with Main Board. Fixed!
10/21/91
