- ___________________________Appendix B____________________________
- Qanalyst v1.0 users
-
-
- This appendix is for users upgrading from Qanalyst v1.0. A num-
- ber of changes have been made to the program. This will offer
- the upgrading Qanalyst user a quick look at what's new.
-
- The biggest addition to Qanalyst is its ability to analyze your
- uploads and downloads. This of course includes the cost to
- transfer those files.
-
- Qanalyst can now generate a report based solely on the last call
- you made or on a specific telephone number, even if the call is
- still in progress. See appendix section C.2.
-
- Host BBS charges can now be entered separate from the cost of the
- phone call itself. (This will be a boon to CompuServe and GEnie
- subscribers.) You can even specify if a host BBS suspends
- charges during uploads, meaning a more accurate cost analysis.
- See chapter 6.
-
- Qanalyst v2.0 automatically reads its v1.0 files.
-
- Qanalyst v2.0 isn't compatible with Qmodem v3.x logs. Don't keep
- appending to an old Qmodem log file! Start a brand-new log when
- you get Qmodem v4.x.
-
- We no longer call it the "phone log file." We now refer to it
- simply as the "log file". Some users were confusing the phone
- log file with the phone-rate file.
-
- The following command-line options are no longer valid: /L, /P,
- /S, and /W. They are now part of the configuration file data and
- you can change them on the screen. See section 7.
-
- The following command-line options were added: /E, /F, and /T.
- See section 2.1.
-
- You can now declare specific to/from dates on the command line.
- You are no longer forced to analyze/maintain an entire log file
- when running under the /B command-line option.
-
- Qmodem v4.x's ALT-D prefix codes are now reflected in the log
- file, giving users the power to tailor some phone numbers so
- Qanalyst views them as toll records instead of long-distance or
- "odd" records, for example. (Consult your Qmodem manual if you
- are unfamiliar with this.) See appendix section D.4.
-
- Qanalyst now sorts the detailed report by BBS name, not by phone
- number. You can still request sorting by the phone number if you
- wish. See chapter 7.

- appendix section D.3.
-
- There is better support for people who use MicroSoft Windows or
- DoubleDOS multitasking software. See section 1.6.
-
- Qanalyst can now initialize your printer and use boldface to
- accentuate reports. See page 27.
