///Turbo Board & FoReM Statistics Generator
by Paul Civati & Paul Baker 1991-1994
-------------------------
UPDATE INFORMATION
MAKE SURE YOU RE-READ THE DOCS (WHICH HAVE CHANGED) TO FAMILIARISE YOURSELF
WITH THE PROGRAM AND ALL THE CHANGES, AND HOW TO SET IT UP, ETC.
Update: Mar 01 1992 - Version 1.30
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
You MUST delete STATSGEN.DAT & STATSDOR.DAT before installing this version!
* Slighty changed the look of the output in the general activity statistics.
* Added in survey and bbs list usage to the general statistics.
* Changed the way individual users are bypassed, now if you want to bypass a
user you must add their name to an ASCII text file called STATSGEN.BYP,
this has the advantage that an unlimited number of users can be bypassed.
This has the effect that the STATSGEN.CFG format has changed as the five
bypass user spaces in the config are no longer used.
* Fixed a major bug which would screw up the lastcaller output if the month
was March.
* Fixed a bug that crept in when STATSGEN.LOG output was added. The error
routine will not now go into a loop when an error occurs.
* Added support for multiple FDOORSx.DAT files, you MUST have deleted the above
STATSGEN.DAT & STATSDOR.DAT datafiles for this version to work.
Update: Sep 01 1992 - Version 1.40
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
You MUST delete STATSGEN.DAT & STATSDOR.DAT before installing this version!
You MUST also create a new STATSGEN.CFG for this version!
* Added FoReM compatibility, now also searches for FOREM.LOG, according to
one FoReM sysop who has tested StatsGen it seems to work fine with all
versions up to his, 2.8W2
* Removed bug with door stats giving negative usage and percentage, multi
FDOORSx.DAT stats now work perfectly.
* Removed bug of error with loading the FDOORSx.DAT file in the general
activity statistics if the file was an odd length. Now should actually
NOT matter what length it is.
* 1 line between each different FDOORSx.DAT file will be added to the general
activity statistics to show between each different FDOORSx.DAT file.
* Removed bug that crept in when multi FDOORSx.DAT support was added, would
not save the new path to the FDOORSx.DAT when using the EDIT option.
* Added status line showing progress of log scanning after logoff (LO options).
* Accidently found bug that was missing extended msgs and emails that were
being entered and not including them in the stats!
* Added continuous statistics, you MUST create a new STATSGEN.CFG for this
version to run properly as I added a new line for the output file, this
will now create a STATSCNT.DAT file for these statistics.
* Added download protocol usage statistics to the general activity stats,
you will need to delete your existing STATSGEN.DAT & STATSDOR.DAT file as
this version writes and reads a new format of it.
Well this is probably if not the last, one of the last versions of StatsGen
providing there are no bugs as the code is getting unmanageable and theres
not much I can add to it. I was amazed to realise that it has been 6 months
since the last release and 12 beta versions to get to this version. To some
people it may have seemed that I have been doing nothing with it! well !!
I hope it has been worth the wait !
Update: Jan 18 1993 - Version 1.56
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Well, here is another version, although development has almost finished on
this little! project now.
You MUST also create a new STATSGEN.CFG for this version!
You MAY also need to create a STATFILE.CFG for the new options.
* Fixed a bug that would cause problems if your had Turbo 2.1.x+ running with
handles switched on and had the TPAS.DAT in the datfile folder on the BBS.
* Added yet _another_ lot of ouput files to StatsGen, thanks to Paul Baker
for these...
o Added most popular downloaded files output.
o Added top downloaders output.
o Added top uploaders ouput.
o Added top message leavers output.
o Added top callers output.
* Configuration and operation has changed significantly so you _will_ need
to re-read the docs.
This program _is_ really finished now as its just get to big to manage and
the code is in a mess. Also Turbo is no longer supported so there doesn't
seem much point in adding to it. This is made more difficult in the fact
that I don't have a Turbo2 system to test the program on as I only have the
Shareware version of Turbo, Paul Baker coded the above 5 output files added
to this version.
If and when Paul Baker (My sysop) moves onto another BBS package I will
either re-code StatsGen for that or start a new (and better version).
The first version of this program appeared over one and a half years ago!
Paul Civati.
LAST UPDATE
-----------
Having found one final bug in the code involving the lack of a STATSGEN.MAI
file (prodiced when Turbo V2 runs a mailer after answering the phone itself
I have killed the bug. (I've just moved to Semper)
So it should be 101% fully working again.
Paul Baker.
