- ' If the CNF file is not specified on the command line upon execution
- ' this program will exit with an errorlevel=1!
-
- 'The BBSNAME variable should contain the name of the BBS this program will be
- 'used upon. Max of 25 characters.
- ' [---:----|----:----|----]
- BBSNAME=The No-Name BBS!
-
- 'The CALLER variable should contain the drive, path and filename of where to
- 'locate the caller file. If you are processing multi-nodes, do not include
- 'the node number at the end of the filename, the program will do that
- 'automatically for you. If you do not specify a filename in this variable,
- 'then it will only display the graph on the screen and end with an
- 'errorlevel=2.
- CALLER=C:\BBS\NODES\CALLER
-
- 'The NODES variable will tell the program which nodes to process for the
- 'bulletin. If this variable is left out, then the file stated in the CALLER
- 'variable above will be processed alone. You can separate each node number
- 'with a comma. If more then one node is to be processed, it will be assumed
- 'that the name of the file specified in the CALLER variable will end with a
- 'number. For example, say your caller file declared in CALLER is named HELLO,
- 'and you set the NODES variable to process nodes 1, 3, and 6. The following
- 'files will have to be in the directory specified above: HELLO1, HELLO3, and
- 'HELLO6. You may also specify groups like 1,2,3,4,5 by stating the upper and
- 'lower limits separated by a hyphen, so that the group in this example would
- 'be 1-5.
- NODES=1-7,9,12
-
- 'The NODESC# variable will place a one line description above each bulletin
- 'created for each node declared in the NODES variable above. Place the number
- 'of the node in place of the #. If you are not processing any nodes, or if
- you wish to put a description above the percentage you can
- 'use NODESC0 to place a description in the bulletin. You can have descriptions
- 'of up to 70 characters, for up to 99 different nodes.
- ' [---:----|----:----|----:----|----:----|----:----|----:----|----:----]
- NODESC0=This graph will show a Percentage of all this systems nodes.
- NODESC1=The Public Node - (000) 555-5555
- NODESC2=The Private Node - (000) 999-9999
-
- 'The BULLETIN variable should contain the drive, path and filename of the
- 'bulletin file in which you wish to place the graph. There will be no "G"
- 'placed on the end if it is a color file, you must decide that for yourself.
- BULLETIN=C:\BBS\BLTNS\BLT99.
-
- 'The BEGIN variable will tack an ASCII/ANSI/PCB type text file onto the
- 'beginning of the bulletin. This is helpful if you wish to add your own
- 'descriptive information about what the bulletin contains before displaying the
- 'graphs.
- BEGIN=C:\BBS\BLTNS\BLT99.TAK
-
- 'The TOTAL variable will calculate a percentage for all nodes graph for
- 'multi-node users. You have the option of using [YES], which will place a total
- 'comparison graph at the end of the above bulletin, [NO], the default and this
- 'option should be used for single node systems, or [filename] which will place
- 'the comparison bulletin into a totally separate bulletin as specified by the
- 'drive, path, and filename you so choose.
- TOTAL=YES
-
- 'The FORMAT variable tells the program which hour format you'd like to use in
- 'your bulletin. It can be either [12] or [24] ([24] is the default).
- FORMAT=12
-
- 'The TYPE variable tells the program which type of bulletin to create, it can
- 'be either [TEXT] or [COLOR] using the PCB @X## color codes ([TEXT] is the
- 'default).
- TYPE=COLOR
-
- 'The DAYS variable will tell the program how many days from the current date,
- 'back, to process in the bulletin. This variable can also contain a date, in
- 'the format of MM-DD-YYYY. If this variable is not set, or is set to 0 then
- 'the program will process the entire CALLER file.
- DAYS=02-04-1992
-
- 'The AVIAL variable will tell the program to generate an availability graph
- 'instead of a usage graph. Whith this swith you can generate a totally
- 'different bulletin letting your users know what the percentage is of your
- 'system being available on a first dial attempt. This variable can be either
- '[YES] or [NO]. The default of this variable if not set or left out is [NO].
- AVAIL=YES
-
- 'The RINGDOWN variable will tell the program to calculate a total availability
- 'bulletin when you set AVAIL to [YES] in the variable above, for your system,
- 'using all the nodes in it's calculations. This can be either [YES] or [NO]
- 'and will use the entire nodes within it's availability calculations. The
- 'default for this option is [NO].
- RINGDOWN=YES
-
- 'The EVENT variable tells the program which hour in the graph to exclude due
- 'to an event time occuring at that hour. This can be a number from 0 to 23
- 'which is in 24 hour format (where 4 is 4am, and 16 is 4pm). This variable
- 'has no defualts and if you do not wish to exclude an hour in your graph, you
- 'may place a remark tick before this variable.
- EVENT=4
-
- 'The HEADER variable tells the program what color you'd like to use for the

- 'Only the colors marked with a "*" are valid as background colors.
- HEADER=BRIGHT GREEN ON BLACK

- 'The DESCLR vairable tells the program what color the descriptions you give
- 'using the NODESC# variable above will be in the bulletin. Use the color table
- 'described above in the HEADER variable.
- DESCLR=BRIGHT YELLOW ON RED
-
- 'The GRAPH variable tells the program what color the graph portion of the
- 'bulletin should be. Use the color table described above in the HEADER
- 'variable.
- GRAPH=BRIGHT YELLOW ON BLUE
-
- 'The FRAME variable tells the program what color the frame of the graph should
- 'be in. Use the color table described above in the HEADER variable.
- FRAME=BRIGHT YELLOW

- 'The comments placed in this file are for you to understand the structure of
- 'this file. They can all be removed if you so wish. The variables in this
- 'file can be placed in any order and those that have defaults may be left out
- 'if you so wish. All blank lines are ignored. All variables that have
- 'defaults can be removed, if you desire to use the default setting. If you
- 'wish to place your own comments in this file for our own use, you may do so by
