- GEcho Message Base Statistical Generator
- ----------------------------------------
-
- What is GMS
- ~~~~~~~~~~~
-
- GMS is a Messagebase statistical program for GEcho. It fully supports
- Passthru areas as well as non-passthru areas. In addtion it creates reports as
- ANSI, AVATAR, and ASCII files. It will create daily reports as well as a
- total summary report of your echo-mail activity.
-
-
- General Information
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
- GMS requires a file called SUMMARY.LOG from GEcho. This is a hard-
- coded file created automatically by GEcho anytime mail is tossed. You should
- *NOT* set GEcho's regular log file to SUMMARY.LOG. If you do this, the result
- *WILL* be that GMS will lock-up your computer, because it cannot find what it
- wants. Remember, The SUMMARY.LOG file is created by GEcho if and *ONLY* if
- it tosses some kind of mail. Since GEcho deletes the SUMMARY.LOG file the next
- time it runs, GMS *NEEDS* to be run everytime GEcho tosses mail. For Example:
-
- :Mailin
- D:
- CD\GECHO
- GECHO TOSS
- GMS GMS.CFG
- GOTO START
-
- NOTE: Items marked as {+} are registered only features.
