Appendix B, "Qanalyst v1.0 users" 37
___________________________Appendix B____________________________
Qanalyst v1.0 users
This appendix is for users upgrading from Qanalyst v1.0. A num-
ber of changes have been made to the program. This will offer
the upgrading Qanalyst user a quick look at what's new.
The biggest addition to Qanalyst is its ability to analyze your
uploads and downloads. This of course includes the cost to
transfer those files.
Qanalyst can now generate a report based solely on the last call
you made or on a specific telephone number, even if the call is
still in progress. See appendix section C.2.
Host BBS charges can now be entered separate from the cost of the
phone call itself. (This will be a boon to CompuServe and GEnie
subscribers.) You can even specify if a host BBS suspends
charges during uploads, meaning a more accurate cost analysis.
See chapter 6.
Qanalyst v2.0 automatically reads its v1.0 files.
Qanalyst v2.0 isn't compatible with Qmodem v3.x logs. Don't keep
appending to an old Qmodem log file! Start a brand-new log when
you get Qmodem v4.x.
We no longer call it the "phone log file." We now refer to it
simply as the "log file". Some users were confusing the phone
log file with the phone-rate file.
The following command-line options are no longer valid: /L, /P,
/S, and /W. They are now part of the configuration file data and
you can change them on the screen. See section 7.
The following command-line options were added: /E, /F, and /T.
See section 2.1.
You can now declare specific to/from dates on the command line.
You are no longer forced to analyze/maintain an entire log file
when running under the /B command-line option.
Qmodem v4.x's ALT-D prefix codes are now reflected in the log
file, giving users the power to tailor some phone numbers so
Qanalyst views them as toll records instead of long-distance or
"odd" records, for example. (Consult your Qmodem manual if you
are unfamiliar with this.) See appendix section D.4.
Qanalyst now sorts the detailed report by BBS name, not by phone
number. You can still request sorting by the phone number if you
wish. See chapter 7.
38 Qanalyst v2.0 User Manual
The Append-from-phone-logs menu command has been augmented by the
Condense-phone-rate-data menu command. See page 20 and also see
appendix section D.3.
There is better support for people who use MicroSoft Windows or
DoubleDOS multitasking software. See section 1.6.
Qanalyst can now initialize your printer and use boldface to
accentuate reports. See page 27.
