Log Back V1.0
1992 MageWare
By: Thomas Kinnen
(813)267-2746 V32bis/HST
What it Does
Log back is a activity.xxx backup program for Wildcat 3.x BBS's. Many
utility such as the stats generator for WCPRO delete your activity log.
This program makes a copy copy of your log called MM-DD-YY.xxx where MM
is the month, DD is the day and YY is the year. The program then adds
this into a ARJ archive called mmmLOG.ARJ where mmm is the three letter
abrevation for the month. There are a few other programs that do the
same thing but not with ARJ. LOGBACK uses arj with the -m1 -jm switches
for maximum compression.
How to Run It
To use LOGBACK make shure that the variable WCNODEID= is set in your
CAT.BAT file or your AUTOEXEC.BAT file. If it is not LOGBACK will abort
and tell you this. LOGBACK supports WCNODEID's of 1 to 255. Then just
run it from the dir that contains your activity.xxx logs.
What it Costs
LOGBACK is free for now. It was a test for my first program on a MS-DOS
machine. If you would like a copy that will say "registered to: xxxx"
just call my BBS and leave a message. This will help me know if it
serving some purpose. Also any suggestions would be helpful.
What features are comming
Comming in Version 2 is:
1) User config file telling how many nodes to back up so no need for
changing WCNODEID do do different logs from the same batch file.
2) User defined dir for the log archive.
3) Support of eiother ARJ, ZIP, or LZH
