-
- RACPD is designed to provide you with a graph of the number of
- calls per day your BBS has received over the last 25 days. When
- I started my own BBS a few months ago, I found that I wanted to
- have that information, and I could not find a program to display
- it. As soon as I learned what data structures were involved, I
- wrote my own. I hope you find it useful.
-
- This tool is quite easy to use. You should first add a line to
- your BBS batchfile which calls RACPD. This line should be
- executed at least once a day, but your CPD graph will be more
- accurate and up to date if you execute it before or after every
- user. The program is quite fast, and does not slow down the
- reloading of the BBS significantly. Secondly, you need to copy
- RACPD.EXE to your RA system directory. RACPD assumes that
- SYSINFO.BBS exists in the current directory when it executes.
- Now, run RACPD as follows:
-
- RACPD <n>
-
- 'N' is an optional parameter which states the number of callers
- per day you wish you had. The graph that RACPD generates will
- have a dashed line approximately on the number you specify. The
- default is zero, which causes no "goal line" to be displayed.
- If you later decide to change your goal, execute RACPD with the
- number you like as a parameter. RACPD remembers the number by
- saving it in its data file RACPD.DAT, so the number you enter
- becomes the new default value when no number is given.
-
- RACPD generates the following files:
-
- RACPD.DAT Stores RACPD's internal data. Erasing this
- file resets the usage graph. This is usually
- not desirable.
-
- RACPD.ASC RACPD's output graph. Displayable by RA.
- RACPD.ANS Reserved for future use.
