INTRODUCTION
How many kbytes do you receive through SDSMAX monthly? Do you know? Well now
you can find out. TicTrak (TT) will monitor your inbound directory for TIC
files and keep a running total of the number of files and their total size for
each file echo area you carry on your system. It can also add in the number of
files and their total size of files you hatch into the file echos.
SETUP
Create a directory for TicTrak, say C:\TICTRAK. Place the files from the
TicTrak archive into this directory. Edit the control file (see the
distribution control file for complete documentation on keywords). Run TicTrak
upon receipt of any TIC file (prior to any TIC file processor).
COMMAND LINE
There is none as of yet.
OPERATION
Each time you run TicTrak, it scans your inbound for TIC files. For each TIC
file it finds, it will read it and then look for the file that the TIC file is
associated with. If it finds it, it will increment the number of files for
that file area, and then add the file's size to the number of kbytes for that
file area.
If you enable RAD processing as well, the same will be done for any RAD files
found in your Tick Hold directory. Since the file's size is stored in the RAD
file, TicTrak will not try and locate the file from a RAD file.
TicTrak stores it's information in the file specified by the Data keyword (see
distribution control file). Although this file is text and formatted for
viewing, YOU MUST NOT EDIT THE DATA FILE if you intend for TicTrak to continue
using it.
RESET
To reset all your areas, you simply remane or erase the data file. To reset
one particular area, you may carefully edit the Files and Kbytes for that area
to `0'.
STATS
The number of files in any area is accurate. The number of kbytes is however
a very close approximation. Each file's size is rounded down to the nearest
1 kbyte size. Each file that is smaller than 1 kbyte is counted as 1 kbyte.
HISTORY
1.01 Added FDLog. Added Avg.Size to the DAT file.
WARRANTY
There is none. TicTrak is not guaranteed to do anything. Use at your own
risk.
