UL-Log-RA: What Is Be?
----------------------
UL-Log-RA is a program to help you maintain a log of who
uploads what file. It scans your RA system.log, looking
for uploads. When (if) it finds any, it creates an ASCII
file called UL.LOG in the default directory. Each time
the program is run and new uploads are found, they are
inserted at the *top* of the list, moving the old ones
down. The log lists date and time of the upload, username
(as it appears in the system log), protocol, and path and
filename of the upload.
UL-Log-RA: How To Use It-
-------------------------
UL-Log-RA takes one or two command line parameters as
shown:
ULLOGRA.EXE <filename.ext> [<-Opus>]
<Filename.ext> is the filename of your system log. You
may also include drive\path specs if the log is somewhere
other than the default directory.
<-Opus> tells UL-Log-RA that you're using Opus-style logs.
Default (no second command line parameter) is FD-style
logs.
UL-Log-RA: Files Created-
-------------------------
Two files are created by UL-Log-RA: UL.LOG, the actual log
file, and ULLOG.PTR, a very small "pointer" file that
UL-Log-RA uses to figure out if it has processed a
particular log before. You may run UL-Log-RA as often on
a single log as you'd like; the "pointer" file keeps it
from re-counting older uploads.
UL-Log-RA: Limitations and Speed-
---------------------------------
The only limitation that UL-Log-RA makes you live with is
that no system log can contain more than 400 uploads. If
this is a problem, let me know -- I want to know what
you're doing right... :-) This limitation is because
uploads are all held in memory. I could easily up this
limit, but at the risk of hurting folks running
multi-taskers, etc. If you want a special 2000 upload
version, just holler.
Speed: It's fast. I run it after every user and it takes
only a couple of seconds. (My system log is archived and
deleted each night so I never have a 3000 line monster log
either.)
UL-Log-RA: Copyright-
---------------------
Use it, pass it around, put it up on your BBS for
download, I don't care. Just don't sell it or change it
or the docs.
UL-Log-RA: Problems or Praise-
------------------------------
If you have problems, let me know and I'll try to fix
them. The program should be pretty stable, though -- it's
been through 3 1/2 versions that run under QuickBBS, so I
think I have most of the bugs worked out.
If you like the program, feel free to say nice things...

That's it. Hope you find it useful.
