-
- First of all I would like to say - Thanks for choosing Sys-Stat!
- I hope you will not be disappointed.
-
- I've worked very hard on this program to make it one of the best and highest
- quality programs for use with RemoteAccess, however this taken some
- considerable time and has incurred some costs which I hope to cover and so
- Sys-Stat is shareware - but cheap!
-
- A free evaluation period of 30 days is given, please do not abuse this.

- ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀
-
- First of all, copy all the Sys-Stat files to their own directory.
- (ie. \ra\sys-stat)
-
- Next you need to set the RemoteAccess environment path. If you are using
- either FrontDoor or InterMail as a mailer then you need to set these
- environment paths too. To set a environment path you use the DOS command
- 'SET' - please refer to your DOS manual if you are unsure on how to use
- this command.
-
- When this has been set you need to run STATCFG.EXE. If you choose
- auto-import STATCFG will try to auto-import most of the configuration itself.
- If you choose auto-import and nothing happens then you must restart your
- computer and turn auto-import off.
-
- Please walk through the STATCFG program and enter as many of the details as
- you can. It should be quite easy, and most of the time a help line will be
- shown at the bottom of the screen. When finished choose "Exit setup" and
- reply "Yes" to save the configuration prompt.
-
- Please read the chapter "More about STATCFG" if you would like to now more
- about how to configure Sys-Stat.

- ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀
-
- Once you have configured Sys-Stat with the STATCFG program you are ready to
- run the main program - SYS-STAT.EXE.
-
- It is a good idea when using Sys-Stat to run SYS-STAT.EXE each time a user
- logs-off from the BBS, or at least one a day.
-
- If Sys-Stat is executed without any parameters then it will use the
- configured STATCFG options. It is also possible to run Sys-Stat with
- parameters which is often preferred as it allows more flexibility in
- choosing when to run each function.

-
- Sys-Stats functions/options are briefly described here - but a few of
- the more important ones are described in more detail.
-
- If you want to toggle mono or the nofancy option then use the 'STATCFG /?'
- to display a list of commands.
-
- Cookie path...
- If a filename is listed here then a cookie will be added to messages
- sent with the send messages function of Sys-Stat (Often used to
- welcome new-users and list the rules of the BBS system).
-
- Lost carrier
- Send a message to users who drop carrier, forgetting that this can cause
- the system to lock up.
-
- Birthday messages
- Send a message to users when it is their birthday. It is nice to add that
- personal touch and the users will feel much more welcome on your BBS.
-
- Backup system
- It is possible to create backups of important files on the system.
- A good idea is to create backup of log files, user database files,
- system files and configuration files.
-

- log-in. Read the file news.txt for a list of colour codes and macros
- to use.
-
- Site information changer
- If you are using a mailer such as FrontDoor or InterMail then you can
- change the 'System name' and 'Location' between a number of set ones
- in Sys-Stat - ie. So that those who use your mailer will see a different
- message each time they connect to you.
-
- User upgrade system
- Use this function to upgrade and downgrade users on your system, if
- they deserve it. It is a very good idea to use this function so that you
- do not need to spend time upgrading your users - it will just happen
- automatically.
-
- Filelist generator
- Create your filelist so the users do not need to browse all your
- areas online to find the file they need when they can do it offline.
-
- Weekly report
- Create a weekly report with information about this weeks activities.
- ie. Calls this week, total number of files, new files this week,
- number of new users this week, number of upgraded/downgraded
- users, top statistics, login speeds, welcome messages,
- lost carrier messages, total time used by users, files uploaded/
- downloaded and messages written this week.
-
- Weekly node report
- Create a weekly node report to send to your downlinks/points with
- information on how many times they have connected to your system
- and how many kb they have received. Also a personal BBS record
- is listed.

-
- If you have any problems with Sys-Stat such as run-time errors or other
- difficulties then please refer to Sys-Stat FAQ. (File - sys-stat.faq)
- which explains how to solve some of the general problems. If your problem is
- not listed there then please write a e-mail/netmail to myself or a support
- site and I/they will look into your problem/questions.
-
- But remember!
-
- - To explain your problem and enclose screen grabs, log-files or text-screens
- - If sent by netmail remember to poll after an few days as it is often not
- possible to route them back and can work out quite expensive if we were
- to crash each reply individually. The reply will normally be put on hold.
-
- Support is not only available to registered users but also for users who are
- currently evaluating Sys-Stat.

-
- The development of Sys-Stat started in October 1993. The program was just
- another statistic program. It did not even create any files, but just
- displayed a few statistics to the screen.
-
- This has now changed. After nearly 4 years and a few major releases, Sys-Stat
- has been improved a lot. Sys-Stat is not a full time job, but a program that
- I write in my spare-time. Therefore I would like you to register to ensure
- continued development of Sys-Stat.
-
- I've spent many days and years programming Sys-Stat. The program is very
- cheap. The money I receive is only for the expense of development.
-
- A lot of people have through the years asked me of who I am... I am an
- average person who has become interested in computers and programming. I live
- in Denmark which is located in Europe. I was born at the end of the
- seventies. A picture of me is available if you are smart enough to find it.
-
- If you want to contact me by e-mail you can find my currently e-mail address
- by looking up my name at http://www.whowhere.com where I will always update my
- currently e-mail address.
