- [ What it is! ]
- The Tristats/Call Log program will generate a 'who called today' listing
- of who has called your BBS for the day with a statistics listing of what
- they did at the end of the call log.
-
- [ How it works ]
- Install the Stats/Call Log program in any directory on your hard drive.
- You must create a configuration file similar to the following example
- for it to operate. This .CFG file passes the parameters necessary
- for correct operation to the program.
-
- Example TRISTAT.CFG file:
-
- E:\trit\CALLERS.LOG
- E:\trit\bull1.ans
- Memory Alpha BBS
- Paul Hoehn
- Donald Duck
- Mickey Mouse
- Minney Mouse
- 00-0000
- =========================================================================
- Line 1...: Path\filename of Log file (CALLERS.LOG)
- Line 2...: Path\filename for Output file (ANSI Color)
- Line 3...: BBS Name
- Line 4...: SysOp's Full Name
- Line 5...: Name to exclude from bulletin [1]
- Line 6...: Name to exclude from bulletin [2]
- Line 7...: Name to exclude from bulletin [3]
- Line 9...: Registration Code (all 0's unless registered)
-
- *Note: You can exclude up to 3 individuals from appearing in your
- call log by entering their names in lines 5-7. The names MUST
- be entered EXACTLY (case must match) as they appear in your
- log file. In other words, if you don't want the SYSOP to
- appear in the call log, enter the sysop's name here, along
- with 2 other names. If you don't want to enter a name, enter
- a blank line (BUT! these lines must be there, whether blank or
- not!).
-
- To execute the program, pass the program name along with the name of the
- configuration file in your POSTCALL.BAT file (i.e., TRISTAT TRISTAT.CFG).
- For best results, add the above line to the batch file that executes
- after a caller has logged off the BBS.
-
- VERY IMPORTANT!
- Either zip up or kill your CALLERS.LOG file every night at midnight, or
- just kill it off! Otherwise, your statistics and call log will include
- every call that appears in the log file. It will also slow down execution
- of the program if you have several days worth of activity in the log.
-
- [ Coming Attractions ]
- I'm planning on building in the ability for the program to automatically
- exclude anything but the current day's activities from the log and a
- perpetual statistics generator with accompanying screens. It'll keep
- track of ALL of the events that have happened on your BBS from a set
- date till you kill it off!
