I use this software to be loaded before Voyager to tell you what you
can expect the phone charges to be later, this can be made possible by
placing a command like this:
Run <VCCCalc$Dir>.!Run
On the line under the line 'Set VTiInternet$Dir <Obey$Dir>' of the !Voyager
!Run file.
History.
~~~~~~~~
V0.03 Differs from V0.02 by allowing the minimum charge to be set in the
config file, also a bug in this area of code and a major bug in adding up.
V0.04 Displays the starting date and the finishing date of the voyager log
file and produces a phone bill type output so that you can check it easily
with your phone bill.
V0.05 Now displays cost in pounds (helped from Roddy Simpson , Wimpslot
increased to 20k
V0.05a Shows the total in red and makes the user double click on the reset
button to activate it.
V0.06 Allows 4 charactors to be taken from the config file e.g. 1.12 are
fine, also the discount feature as some people have a discount attached to
there bill e.g. BT's family and friends gives a 5% discount to each call
made to a certain number. A config file that has set a 7.5% discount
would look like this:
Day Time Charge :3.7
Night Time Charge :1.47
Weekend Charge :0.98
Start Of Day Time :8
Start Of Night Time Charge :18
Min cost :3.53
Discount :7.5
V0.07 Allows the phone bill file to automaticaly sent to !Edit, !Zap or
any other app that will load when filetype FFF/Text is run, this option is
set in the config file, if you want automatic loading of edit then hae a
'Y' or 'y' at the end of the line 'Automatic Editing' or a 'N' if you do
not want this option. Plus a couple of minor improvments.
V0.08 VAT can now be seperated, in the phonebill a seperate column is now
used to show cost of each call without VAT added.
V0.09 'No of second to add' feature added to the program to make it more
accurate as Voyager is not very accurate.
Bugs!
~~~~~
There are three slight thing to be improved possibly, these are when you
double-click on the 'Re-set button the button does not go back to a
normal colour untill it is clicked on again. And if no text editor has
been seen by the filer and the 'Automatic Edit Loading' is on then when
you select 'PhoneBill' the text is directed to the screen in a horrid way.
The program does not understand the change in time areas e.g. if a call is
started on Friday at 23:55 and continues till Saturday at 0:05 only 10
minutes it will be wholely charged as at Fridays rate and not split in to
5 minutes friday rate and 5 minutes saturday rate. (This does not hinder most people as most people would not start a call so close to a change of call
type as they could easily wait 5 minutes and getthe call cheaper).
If you find any more please tell me. Or if the program is not working
accurately please tell me, and please send my all information possible e.g.
a copy of your phone bill, and your Voyager 'DialLog' file so I can correct
the program.
And also please email me to say if it is accurate enough.
