- Online-o-Meter - The Ultimate Call Coster
-
- Measures the length and calculates the cost of phone calls via modem
- or voice; never be surprised by your phone bill again!
-
- Features:
-
- - Accurate call timing and costing.
- - Log file generation.
- - Low resource usage.
- - ARexx, Commodities and GadTools GUI Interfaces.
- - AmigaGuide® documentation.
- - Flexible Tariff setup using Preferences Editor.

-
-
- Changes for Version 1.5:
-
- Just a few fixes and one major enhancement:
-
- OnlineMeter
- · Fixed two minor memory leaks I noticed:
- - one which I introduced in 1.4: OnlineMeter would loose around 20-80
- bytes every time it read the preferences: I wasn't freeing the Hotkey
- strings... (applied to OnlinePrefs too)
- - one which must have been around since early versions: OnlineMeter would
- loose 464 bytes every time the window was closed. The problem lies in
- the fact that gadtools.library CreateMenus() allocates all its menus in
- one big lump, and if you subsequently add some, they don't get freed on
- a FreeMenus() as you'd think they would. You wouldn't belive how long
- this took me to trace! An interesting combination of
- CodeWatcher/owner/lvo/wedge/VLT/cpr & Artm eventually found it...
-
- · Crash recovery:
- - If machine crashes while OnlineMeter is running or before ENV:
- vars are saved, running OnlineMeter again after reboot will recover
- the call values and ask if you wish to log them (if logging is enabled).
- Uses OS compilant KickTags mechanism.
-
- · Slight Adjustment to layout should work better with some fonts.
-
- Enjoy!
