ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 1. PHONC Program - Version 2.0b ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
A Program to show your GCP Telephone Charges
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 1.1. Program Description ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
This program creates a list of telephone charges for those members of
CompuServe which are using the GoldenCommPass(r) navigator. It is based on the
LOG**-**.CIS file maintained by the GCP program. There is one line per day
displayed in a listbox within the main window. When selecting a single line,
the detailed calls of this day are shown in a separate window. The lines of the
main window as well as those of the detail window can be printed on the default
printer. Defaults for call types, timings and charges are set to the current
german values, but can be changed through a settings dialog. Weekends (Sat/Sun)
and listed holidays are taken into account automatically. A page for a foreign
network provider is supplied, which again is defaulted to the german T-Online
provider. These values are added to the calculations of local calls. Once
changed, the settings are saved in a file named "PHONC.INI" in the current
path. The program accepts two parameters: a language parameter ('/e' for
english in the moment) and the name of a log file (full path if not in the
current directory).
Some of the Setting Pages might look strange to non-german users, but this is
the way the german tariffs look like. I left them as they are for the english
version to maintain compatibility.
