This is the first Beta test version released to the new beta Test Crew.
This file only requires that you change the current REMOTLOG that you have
to this version and then run it. Soon there will be a Configuration file
to run if I ever get around to it.
Some of the new changes real quick is the addition of a new keyword CUMULATIVE
which will now give you a list of all the users that have hung up on your
system and how many times they have done so.
There is also a new List of Daily Carrier Droppers (to phrase it such) this
will give you a list of how many times just that crew has dropped carrier.
Several cosmetic changes to the program have been enacted. As you notice them
let me know what you think.
Files Included.
REMOTLOG.EXE V1.42 04-92/2I
BETA.DOC This File
REMOTLOG.CFG Config File for REMOTLOG w/all options
okc.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
21 Apr 92 08:00
Changes, Added the New REMOTLOG.KEY file system in addition to the
Configuration file registration code requirement. (Future changes for
Registered users are coming).
Added a new option NODROP.
It is used
NODROP [0..9] [String]
NoDrop 0 RAFiles Auto User Exit (Example)
This option will allow up to 10 different predefined strings. If the string
directly preceeds a Lost Carrier message then the Lost Carrier will be
ignored.
A plain key file will be included with the archive. Keep a copy of it
somewhere because REMOTLOG will at times delete it.
The date on messages subject line has been changed to avoid RA or any mail
processor linking them together. It is now a randomly generated number.
Some problems with LogFile deletions were cleared up. Date system used to
insure this occurred has been revamped.
Eliminated some excess coding that wasn't needed.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
26 Apr 92 05:03
Added the option for Backup Files to be generated with Files.BBS listings
when sorted is an option.
Fixed the sorting code to notice blank lines (Hope it works this time)
Eliminated some more coding I (Think) was redundant. Haven't noticed any
reason as to why not yet.
Changed the Upload logging to group them all together for each person. Up
to a total of 30 per message.
REMOTLOG will now properly handle the NODROP with RAMail and any other
strange logging programs.
The FD & RA log file combo is now supported.. (Untested - Alex??). Should
work without a hitch. But then this is reality and not wonderland. Given
how this is handled at this time. There will be a degredation in speed when
FD entries are encountered. Also the linecounter will not reflect the
current line status when processing the FD sections of the file.
Calls by Baud changed to Calls by BPS Rate.
Changed some coding that could cause a drop carrier message to not get
posted and even totally ignored.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
29 Apr 92 12:20 p.m.
Fixed the problem of RA hanging on any Download line that required the
program to update a specific file. This would only occur if the FD/RA
combined log function was being utilized. Apparently a file got closed in
the process that should have stayed open. Problem has been eliminated.
Fixed a peculiar problem which I hadn't noticed. The combined message count
would never get incremented. Figured out what was wrong and that is also
corrected.
Fixed the problem with the Zipping up of files etc. Program didn't had too
much heap space and wouldn't give any up to misc utilities.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
05 May 92 10:00 a.m. 1.42 2W
The Function for Zipping FD files was already included in RA. Simply
specify that you want DELETEFD and it will be zipped along with the RA
Files.
A new option ARCHIVER has been added. I was thinking of this a while back
and finally got the push to do it. You must tell it the command line as
well as in PKZIP -m this as we all know will move the file into the archive
deleting it as soon as it is zipped up.
REMOTLOG will now search the system for the RA environment variable. If
found it will look in that directory for the CONFIG/FILES/MESSAGES.RA files.
Otherwise it must be in the current directory.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
20 May 92 08:14 a.m. 1.42ß2X
Modified the environment variable search section. It would not properly
parse the environment variable. Therefore people would have problems
finding if not even opening Config.Ra and various other files.
Added a new option for the cumulative logoffs. By using MINIMUMTIME ### you
can have the system only show you those cumulative logoffs that are as low
as Mintime or higher.
Found another problem with the combined message read logging option so it
was also fixed.
Fixed the problem as to why the Normal logoffs would not get incremented or
at least I hope so. Couldn't find an outstanding anomaly here but we will
see what happens.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
UN May 92 99:99 d.t 1.42ß2Y
Made some change for this version. Can't seem to recall exactly what it was
I waited too long to update this file.
Added an option now to have REMOTLOG only display in the cumulative listing
of those that dropped carrier. Only those people who have hung up a
given amount of times or more.
NEW OPTION ****** : MINIUMUMTIME ##
Added as well an option to only have certain people sent the message that they
dropped carrier only if they have dropped carrier # amount of times.
NEW OPTION ****** : MINDROPCARR ##
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
29 May 92 10:38 a.m. 1.43ß2Z
Made a few more changes. Got the logging of some REMOTLOG information to
properly go out to the file.
Fixed a problem when you did not have a messagefile created and cumulative
was active.
Released version of this program. At this point is should be in proper
working order.
I thank all you beta testers for having helped.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
05 OCT 92 12:30 p.m. 1.44ß35
Made some minute changes.
Found a potential problem with drive space recognition. Apparently it was
not checking the correct drive. Only the current drive was being checked
for available space.
Corrected a problem that would occur when the log file had to be reprocessed
more than once. he users would recieve several messages all with the same
intent. This duplication of the New Users and Uploads has been flushed out
of the system. They will no longer get dupes in this area. The Downloads
however could not as easily be fixed. Nothing done there yet.
Sped up some text output to the screen. Will see what type of difference
that makes. (PRO or CON)
Program is multitasking aware and will address the screens properly. Before
it was only multitasking aware but would not really change to fit the screen
environment.
Any other bugs that were brought to my attention was also fixed.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
17 MAR 93 16:27 p.m. 2.00ß52
There were several intermittent changes to the program made locally. I
didn't write them down so I can't say exactly what it was.
Found that a few changes made the Shrinkfile (Shrinking of the logfile)
routine was not working properly. Worked on that it seems to be working.
MAJOR CHANGES
This code now works with RA 2.00.g1+. If you are a registered user of RA
you can use that version.
If you are a registered user or REMOTLOG you will have full access to this
version. If not you will be severely limited to this functions of the
program. This is just a quick release to allow registered users and others
access to this program with the new ra.
This version does not support the new message base methods that will be in
RA. Don't have the new method as yet. Several additions were made to Ra
and they have not yet been implemented.
The FileCounter section of the program was removed since it would duplicate
RA's built in functions. Also FILES.BBS is no longer directly supported.
Will be making further studies into RA and see what else we can do with
REMOTLOG.
The cost of registering REMOTLOG is now $15. The program now belongs to a
company A & K Computers. All payments will be addressed to the same.
Address for the company is in the *.DOC file.
Let me know if you have any problems with this temporary version.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
31 MAR 93 10:00 a.m. 2.00ß60
This was one of the continuing updates to REMOTLOG. This fixes a few minor
problems experienced locally.
Because of some earlier changes the REMOTLOG.ANS etc reports were not
properly lined up. Some numbers were being printed incorrectly. Fixed
Cleaned up some possible problems with the message posting section that may
have been giving an error in certain configurations.
The counter for all downloads in front door is still in place. It will
simply at this time accumulate the respective files in REMOTLOG.CNT
(unsorted). You can use this file at your leisure. In the future I will
probably go in and have the program update RA's Files Database to the new
counts.
Any problems let me know.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
15 APR 93 03:00 p.m. 2.00ß68
Version ß62/ß64/ß66 were replaced by this version.
Fixed finally the problem with the logfile shrinking routine. Was a stupid
date field size problem. The shrinking now works properly and should reflect
the correct dates.
Updated the messages that are posted. Reduced some of thier space
requirements. A little shorter. Made the Dropped carrier message read a
little less confusing for new users. People would think the computer was
telling them that they hung up ## times a day.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
18 APR 93 12:25 a.m. 2.00ß72
This version adds a new debugging feature. (Place TEST on the command line)
This will currently cause the computer to only run the Bulletins section
of REMOTLOG and not the whole program.
Added a Bulletins section.
The Following Bulletins were now added.
TOP 50 Message Areas (Fixed #)
TOP 50 Downloaded Files (Fixed #)
Several More to come with next release.
All reports are now *.ASC only final release should correct this.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
23 APR 93 08:35 a.m. 2.00ß86
Added some more bulletins to the system.
Timelog Entries
Top 50 Callers
Top 50 Uploaders Files #
Top 50 Uploaders KB
Top 50 Downloaders KB
Top 50 Oldest Users on the system
Top 50 Birthday announcements
Top 50 Subscription Expirations
50 Forwarded Messages, To and From
All these files are currently fixed length. The exact look of the
files is still in limbo. Suggestions are welcome.
All reports are now *.ASC *.ANS flavor.
The method of loggin to the logfiles has also been changed. REMOTLOG
used to write directly to either the RA file and then the FD or FRONT
END MAILERS file. Now REMOTLOG places information in a logfile of its
own and then after the checking has been done of both log files it
will append its log onto the end of the BBS & MAILERs log files.
Some of these TOP 50 Items may not remain in files some will be sent
to the Sysop Via a message and some will generate a posting to the
respective users. Consideration currently to Subscription, Birthdate,
Messages forwarded.

appearance. They are now posted to the SYSOP ONLY.
UNREGISTERED individuals may now run the entire program and sample
everything that the program does........SAMPLE..... It will not
all areas of some screens and even if you set a MaxDisp it will revert
to a given number.
A new Keyword has also been added. BULLETINS and NOBULLETINS. The
BULLETINS setting is the default.
