- USTAT - User Statistics Ver 3.00 for RemoteAccess
- ===================================================
-
-
- DISCLAIMER:
-
- While reasonable care has been taken in creating this program,
- no warranty is made that it will perform the way you would like.
- You (and not the author) are responsible for any problems
- occurring by the use of this program. If you cannot accept this
- responsibility, do not run this program. However, if you should
- run across a problem, please contact the author so that it may
- be possible to fix the problem (see note at end about info on
- contacting the author). As with any program, bugs are possible
- even though the product has been tested. To protect against
- this, you should be making regular backups.
-
-
- This package is supplied as shareware and no warranty is
- implied or expressed in any way. This program is used at your
- own risk although every effort has been made to ensure it will
- work on all systems. The only thing I do guarantee is that it
- will take up disk space. I cannot be held responsible if the
- program trashes your user file.
-
-
- You have a four week evaluation period to try out the package
- and if you like it and wish to continue using it please fill in
- the registration form and send it to the address thereon with
- the registration fee of R20.00. You will then be sent your
- registration key for the use of the program. This will remove
- the UNREGISTERED message from the display files. It will also
- enable the creation of AVATAR screens. The unregistered version
- will only create ANSI and ASCII screens.
-
-
- The use of this program is very simple. Just insert the program
- name into your nightly maintenance routine batch file along
- with the command line parameters (the number of users you wish
- to display and your registration key - if you have a registered
- copy). The maximum number of users that can be processed is
- 1200. The program is quite memory hungry. I accepted this as a
- spinoff for speed.
-
-
- eg. : USTAT 5 for 5 users to be listed
- USTAT 10 for 10 users to be listed
-
-
- The files created are as follows:-
-
- BEST-UF.ANS/ASC/AVT Best Uploader - Files
- BEST-UK.ANS/ASC/AVT Best Uploader - Kb
- BEST-DF.ANS/ASC/AVT Best Downloader - Files
- BEST-DK.ANS/ASC/AVT Best Downloader - Kb
- BEST-CAL.ANS/ASC/AVT Best Caller
- BEST-MES.ANS/ASC/AVT Best Message writer
-
-
- All these files can be displayed as a menu option using Menu
- type 45. If you want to, you make use of the included menu
- (TOPUSERS.MNU) to display the files created. Just insert a line
- in one of your existing menu, that does a GOSUB TopUsers. The 6
- files will be displayed one after the other, and you will be
- returned to your calling menu.
-
-
- Ustat Requires the following Files to Operate.
-
- CONFIG.RA UStat takes most of it's parameters from here.
- USERS.BBS This is where the info comes from.
-
- These files do not have to be in the current directory. UStat
- uses the environment Variable "RA" to find CONFIG.RA. From here
- it gets all other information needed to read USERS.BBS and
- write the text files.
-
-
- If you have any Comments or Bug Reports please send me a
- message to the following address.

- Magnum BBS Or: FidoNet: 5:7102/111

- VERSION INFO
-
- 1.00 First release - Write ANSI and ASCII screens
-
- 1.01 Made some modifications as per user requests: Renaldo
- Rheeder (PE Technikon BBS) suggested I change the
- "WORST Downloader" to "HIGHEST Downloader", and
- indicate that the program is registered. Previously
- it would only put the BBS and Sysop name into the
- display files when registered.
-
- 1.02 Fixed a bug that Oliver Steudler reported. When there
- was no backslash (\) at the end of the pathnames to the
- messagebase and textfiles directory the program would
- complain "Could not open USERS.BBS" and abort. If there
- was no backslash on the textfile directory, the program
- would do nothing.
-
- 2.00 Added creation of AVATAR screens in registered mode only.
-
- 2.01 Fixed a small bug where ANSI codes would be written to the
- Avatar File.
-
- 2.50ß This is a beta Release for those Sysops that have already
- changed over to RA 2.01. I could only test this version on
- a converted version of 2.01, as I am still running 1.11.
- Changes made are:
- 1) Added RA 2.00 support (I had to remove 1.11 support - a
- later version may support 1.11 as well as 2.01.)
- 2) The files are opened Shareable/Read-Only, so Multiline
- systems can run USTAT while other lines are up and
- running.
- 3) Cleaned up some code to optimise it.
- 4) Show-SysOp and the Hidden Flags are checked, and the
- users are only listed if these flags are off.
-
- 2.51ß Fixed a small bug, where the Registration sequence number
- was not shown on the ASC and AVT screens.
-
- 3.00 Public Release
