ACTSTAT Version 1.2
WILDCAT 3 activity log(s) statistics generator
Written by C.Dutton from 2 SPITS BBS (+44) 0959-540991
This program if FREE and NO registration is required.
If you find any problems or have any suggestions for improvments please
drop me a line on the BBS.
Installation.
-------------
ACTSTAT.EXE
-----------
This file must be run in the same directory as your ACTIVITY.???
file(s) for the program to work. It will then read ALL ACTIVITY.??? files
in that directory.
ACTSTAT.CFG
-----------
Installation is simple just edit the ACTSTAT.CFG file to suit your
WILDCAT setup & place the file in the same directory as ACTSTAT.EXE.
An example is included and below is what it all means.
file :ACTSTAT.CFG
2 SPITS BBS (+44) 0959-540991 ───── Your bbs name (MAX 44 chars)
c:\wc30\bull\bull1.bbs ─────── path & name of bulletin (MAX 48 chars)
1 ─────── background colour
15 ─────── border colour (see below for colours)
13 ─────── box title colour
14 ─────── text colour
10 ─────── statistical data colour
Zmodem ────┐
Xmodem │ The names of your protocols
Xmodem/CRC │ as they exist in your ACTIVITY.??? log(s)
Ymodem │ (MAX 13 characters)
Ymodem/G ├─ Upto 10 protocols may be named here
Moby Turbo │ and partial names are allowed.
Tmodem │ e.g 'Tmodem' is actually 'Tmodem V7.10'
CCSP │ in our ACTIVITY log's but a newer
Kermit │ Version is inevitable. So 'Tmodem'
Ascii ───┘ Will reflect all versions.
There is also an 11th protocol called 'Other' but this is used to count
the use of any unspecified protocol names (Very useful for setting up
the protocols you have). The 'Other' protocol option is only printed on
the bulletin if it has found Protocols NOT used in your ACTSTAT.CFG file.
e.g the Protocol Other is greater than 0
WARNING
Entering 'Ymodem' and 'Ymodem G' in your ACTSTAT.CFG file should be
done with care as if 'Ymodem' comes before 'Ymodem G', all uses of
'Ymodem G' will be counted as 'Ymodem'.
COLOURS
There MUST be 5 colours entered on SEPERATE lines.
All colours are as per the Wildcat Manual BUT in decimal.
eg. @1F@ = @(background)(foreground)@ so this would be BLUE background
with a value of 1 & BRIGHT WHITE foreground with a value of 15.
It's HEXADECIMAL simple really (0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9, A, B, C, D, E, F)
(0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15)
ACTSTAT.HST
-----------
This file is a history file of the Current stats generated.
If you DO NOT delete this file then you SHOULD DELETE or MOVE your
'ACTIVITY.???' files as the statistics generated are Cumulative.
e.g run ACTSTAT and the ACTSTAT.HST files is generated.
run ACTSTAT again and you now have DOUBLED your Statistics.
Twice as many calls,downloads,uploads,messages,etc
Some Sample ideas for stats
---------------------------
By running ACTSTAT you can delete your activity log every day (no
more enormous activity.001 files).
By running the following .BAT example you can generate daily stats
as well.

The History Editor
------------------
Well as promised in version 1.00. The editor has arrived (simple
though it is). It will allow you to edit/change any stats that you wish
to in the history file generated. But do it with a COPY till you get
used to it. It was a rushjob but it works (you should'nt need it anyway).
ACTEDIT.EXE should also be in the same directory as the ACTSTAT.EXE &
ACTSTAT.CFG files for it to be run. BUT you could copy your history &
config files to where the editor is to do the editing.
Editing tips
1). The edit is as the Bulletin looks so you will recognise the layout.
2). The TOTAL DOWNLOADS/UPLOADS is calculated in the program from UP/DN
protocols so it will change if you edit the protocols.
3). The total calls should match the CALLS/DAY & CALLS/TIME totals.
4). The number of CALLS should match the TYPES OF CALL (300,1200,.....)
these include LOCAL LOGINS & DENIED ACCESS.
4). The number of CALLS should also match the TYPES OF LOGOUT (normal,
dropped carriers,......) these also include DENIED ACCESS.
ADDENDUM
--------
The history file HAS been changed but an auto update will be performed
when the program is run so no need to start all over again.
Well hope you like it & Please check I have got all the info you want
before you delete your activity.??? (logs)
