YESTCALL.EXE ; The Yesterday's or Last 24 Hours Caller List Generator
for RemoteAccess 2.0X
Version 2.00
by Mark L. Sarnov
January 1994
What this Program Does..
This program will create ANSI and ASCII files for the previous day or
for the last 24 hours depending on the parameters in your configuration
file. (see below)
How to use this program..
***> Make sure you have your RA environment variable set up properly! <***
The RA environment variable will tell YESTCALL.EXE where to find
the LASTCALL.BBS file that RA produces as well as where YESTCALL.EXE
will place YESTCALL.BBS!
When you FIRST USE THIS PROGRAM, YOU MUST TYPE THE FOLOWING FROM THE COMMAND
LINE :
YESTCALL /S
This command will create YESTCALL.BBS which is a file similar to
RA's LASTCALL.BBS, however within this file is DATE information
that YESTCALL uses to determine whether a call was from today or
yesterday.. Every time you run YESTCALL.EXE with the /U or /2 parameter,
this file will be updated so that the last caller from LASTCALL.BBS
will be incorporated into YESTCALL.BBS and calls from 2 days ago
will be deleted. The file YESTCALL.BBS will be created in your RA
system directory provided you you have your RA environment variable
set to it!
When you are ready to use the program to create the ANSI/ASCII file
follow these instructions:
The Syntax for this program is :
YESTCALL /H </Y or /2> /U /S /N=<sysop_name> /L=<output file>
/H : Use Handle instead of Real Name (Real Name is default)
/Y or /2 : list callers from <Y>esterday or Last <2>4 Hours.
/U : Updte YESTCALL.BBS each time user logs off.
This option is for those sysops that only choose to produce
a Yesterday's Callers List. You would run
YESTCALL /U
after each user logs off to update the YESTCALL.BBS file.
/S : STARTUP which will create a YESTCALL.BBS file before you attempt
to use the program to generate your caller lists.
/N=<Sysop_Name>
: Used to EXCLUDE Sysop from list, USE SYSOP`S REAL NAME.
and put "_" between FIRST and LASTNAME <i.e. /N=Mark_Sarnov>
(Actually, you can exclude ANYONE, but only 1 person.. I use
this to exclude myself!)
/L=<Output File>
: Name of ANSI/ASCII files to create WITHOUT the ANS/ASC extention
for example "/L=c:\ra\txtfiles\yestcall" will tell YESTCALL to
create YESTCALL.ANS and YESTCALL.ASC in the C:\RA\TXTFILES dir
THIS PARAMETER IS NECESSARY FOR THE PROGRAM TO FUNCTION PROPERLY!
For Example :
YESTCALL /Y /N=Mark_Sarnov /L=c:\ra\yestcall
will produce YESTCALL.ANS and YESTCALL.ASC in the c:\ra directory. These
files will display the callers from the previous day and exclude any
user with the REAL NAME of "Mark Sarnov".
or :
YESTCALL /H /2 /L=c:\ra\24hours
will produce 24HOURS.ASC and 24HOURS.ANS in the c:\ra directory.
These files will display all callers by their HANDLE and not exclude
any callers for the last 24 hours.
** NOTE! **
If you are only using this program to generate a YESTERDAY'S CALLER
LIST, you must update the YESTCALL.BBS file after each user logs off
your system!! This is done with the following command line that can
be placed in your batch file:
YESTCALL /U
If you are generating a 24 HOUR CALLER LIST, the program will update
the YESTCALL.BBS automatically since you should be running it after
each caller logs off anyways!
These ANSI/ASCII files can be called from your BBS with a Display *.ASC
with <CR> command.. You might want to assign a key to the command or
have it automatically execute when the user logs on..
The choice is yours!
DISCLAIMER!!
This program is not guaranteed to do anything but take up space on your
hard drive. Do not try to "crack" this program, it presently does all
it is going to do in it's original form! Remember, Backup often!
If you find this program useful and would like to see improvements and
future versions, (such as sysop configurable colors in the ANSI file)
PLEASE REGISTER!
