RACPD -- RemoteAccess Calls Per Day
Copyright 1990, Brian McCormick
ALL RIGHTS RESERVED
This software is free, and may be distributed for free to other
people. Charging a fee for this software is a violation of the
author's copyright. As usual with software of this nature, no
warranty, either stated or implied, is offered. By using this
software, you agree that you assume all liability in connection
with its use or misuse.
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.
