Superstat version 1.00 by Alain Tremblay 1:249/120
This is a development package and is not directly supported
at this point. The finish product will produce all of the
reports listed in the super.cfg file.
Superstat version 1.00 is freeware, since it is not a finish
product you may use it and distribute it at will, as long as this
documentation is kept in the distribution package. It may not be
sold in any fashion, in this instance the act of selling includes
a business who sells media containing public domain programs.
Users responsibility.
If you use this program on your system, I would like to know
that you are doing so, boosting my ego is a good way of getting
me to complete the finish version in the least possible time.
You are also responsible to let me know of any problems you might
encounter, in such a case I will promptly respond and upgrade
v1.00. Superstat v1.00 is a beta test version it has been tested
locally by QuickBBS sysops and any opinions or suggestions you might
have are critical to the development of this program. Please
forward any information/suggestions/problems to;

What is Superstat,
Superstat creates statistics screens for QuickBBS,
using your users.bbs. It will handle a users base of up to 900
users, anything above this might cause a problem and I would
suggest not using it in these circumstances. This version can
create seven bulletin screens; top 10 callers, top 10 uploaders, top 10
message writers, top 10 doors and the worst 10 downloaders, The
QBBS system report and the binkley system report.
All colours are configurable.
All paths and filenames are configurable.
Black.lst
You may create a file called black.lst, if you create this
file it will not report on any name that is placed into this
file.
This file is created with a ascii editor of your choice or
simply with the copy con command. One name per line up to a
maximum of 50 names, it is NOT case sensitive.
Supercol.exe ; colour editor
Superstat comes with a program called supercol.exe, supercol
permits you to set the colours of the ansi bulletins created.
Once the colour scheme is selected, it will offer you the
opportunity to save the colours to the super.cfg file or to
simply discard all your changes. Supercol always starts with the
currently selected colours.
Super.cfg ; configuration file.
The configuration file contains all the necessary
information on how to configure superstat.
Super.mnu ; Menu file for easy installation
Created by Don Laverdure of Kingston Node 1:249/124 it
connects all the various menu under one roof to display to your user,
Don has graciously offered to make his menu part of the super package.
Installation.
Simply unpack the super compressed file in the QuickBBS
directory. Modify the super.cfg file according to your
requirements. Run the supercol.exe program to set your default
colours. You may run super12.exe after every logon since it's
quite fast or you may run it once a day during normal maintenance.
How to run it.
Simply use super12 at the dos prompt or in your batch file
no parameters are necessary, all pertinent information is located
in the super.cfg configuration file.
The new doors module and logtime.exe
QuickBBS doesn't provide sufficient information to make
a good door logging utility. Consequently to properly keep track
of all doors they must be properly identified in the system.log.
I'm introducing a program call logtime.exe. Logtime will permit
you to place entries in the log everytime a door is opened. Another way
to do it is to manually place an entry in the log through one of your
menus.
Using logtime.exe for door report.
Logtime.exe simply creates a QuickBBS style log entry.
In your quickbbs.bat file or in your game.bat file enter the following
line just prior to running the door.
logtime doors Tradewars 2.0
pgrname [doors] text to put in the system.log
The doors parameters is necessary for Superstat. The text to put in
the system.log should be kept as short as possible in order to be
meaningful in the final bulletins.
Now everytime this door is open, and entry will appear in the log
with the name of the door, which will be picked up by superstat to create
the bestdoors.asc/ans bulletin.
Guarantees...
This program is guaranteed to take room on your hard
disk. It is not guaranteed in any other way. I decline all
responsibility or any consequence whatsoever derived from it's
use. (even though it works well here..).
This program is Shareware.
If you wish to use this program after 30 days there is
two ways to register your copy.
A) you send me a five buck donation at the address
below specifying your name, address and node number (if so).
B) You netmail me at 1:249/120 and let me know that you
are using it, with your name, address and node number (if so).
This solution is the low cost registration option.
I do hope you enjoy using Superstat and that you will help
in creating the finished product. Beta testers are welcome and
will be responded to in any eventuality.
