O.K. enough of the legal mumbo jumbo... Let's get down to business.
First if you don't have and use WCPRO for Wildcat BBS by Mustang
Software this won't do you any good. You should however call Mustang
and order it because it is what separates Wildcat BBS's from the rest
of the bbs software. Wildcat BBS and WCPRO are an unbeatable combination.
I use WCpro to make different bulletins and screens, but you have to make
a config file for each set of screens you wanted and then it always put
the header screens in each one. So these programs where wrote this to
allow you to strip the header off any Wcpro Statistic screen and allow
you to run one config file and create all your bulletins screens at one
time and then strip out the ones you want and rename them.
GSTATS.EXE
GSTATS.EXE takes the statistic screen that WCPRO generates and strips as
many of the individual screens as you want from it and creates another
file for use as a bulletin/hello screen.
The main purpose for it is to remove the three header screens that WCPRO
put at the top of any statistic screens it creates.
There is only one thing necessary to run this program, the GSTATS.CFG.
Here is the format for it. It may be edited with any ascii editor.
3 <--- First line is how many screens to strip away.
c:\wc30\wcpro.bbs <--- Second line is the input path and filename.
c:\wc30\bull\bull1.bbs <--- Third line is the output path and filename.
A sample GSTATS.CFG has been included.
You may run this in your event.bat to create any set of screens you
configure WCPRO output for.
GSTATSM.EXE
GSTATSM.EXE seperates and creates individual screens from any WCPRO
statistical output screen generated.
The main purpose for it is to create seperate bulletin/hello screens, so
instead of having to configure WCPRO to generate a bunch of different
screens, all of which would have the three header screens, you can
generate one all inclusive WCPRO statistic output file and have GSTATM
break it into individual bulletins/hello screens. It will generate all
the screens numbered sequentially GSTATS1.BBS --> GSTATS99.BBS. Then all
you have to do is rename them to whatever bulletin/hello file you want.
Or you may combine them in any order by using DOS's COPY command and
concatenate the files to become your bulletin/hello screen.
The GSTATSM.CFG is simular to GSTATS.CFG.
Here is the format.
C:\wc30\wcpro.bbs <--- First line is the input path and filename.
c:\wc30\disp <--- Second line is the output path only.
(remember GSTATSM.EXE names the output files
for you, GSTATS1.BBS and so on.)
A sample GSTATSM.CFG file has been included.
Here is an example of my statistic screen generating bat file
that runs in my nightly event.
c:
cd\wc30
wcpro allstats.cfg <--- This creates my wcpro.bbs in c:\wc30
GSTATSM
cd\wc30\bull
copy GSTATS4.BBS + GSTATS5.BBS + GSTATS7.BBS c:\wc30\bull\bull4.bbs
copy GSTATS6.BBS + GSTATS8.BBS c:\wc30\bull\bull5.bbs
copy GSTATS10.BBS c:\wc30\bull\bull6.bbs
del GSTATS*.bbs
Simple enough huh!
Well this is lousy documentation as it is my first try, so if
you don't understand or would like to see more features, you may
reach me through NETMAIL or in the FidoNet Wildcat echo.

If you like either of these two programs and continue to use them please
register them. They're real inexpensive to register and will help us
generate more great utilities for your Wildcat BBS.
******** Watch for GRAFstats Plus !!!!
******** With this utility, you don't need Wcpro to create statistics.
