- CallInfo
-
- SYNOPSIS
-
- CallInfo [?] [-lcnwdt] [logfile [ratefile]]
-
- DESCRIPTION
-
- CallInfo is a tool for use with NComm V1.8 or later, made by Torkel
- Lodberg. It uses two files as input, NComm.log and CallInfo.rate.
- NComm.log is the logfile put together by NComm. CallInfo.rate is a
- file you may edit with an editor and it must contain the different
- callrates and other important information. A sample file is included
- in this package, it shouldn't be too difficult to understand.
-
- If CallInfo is started with one or more filenames not specified, it
- will first look for the files in the current directory, and
- then look for files in the NComm: directory.
-
- CallInfo presents an estimated phonebill based on the input from
- the two files.
-
- By choosing one of the many options available, CallInfo may
- also present a lot of statistical information, like on what time
- of the day and which day of the week you are usually calling.
- It may display a "top twenty" so that you know which boards you
- are usually calling. Find out about the rest yourself...
-
- CallInfo has the following options:
-
- [l] - Callinfo will ask you for a starting and ending
- date, used by CallInfo to check when to start and
- stop adding calls to the bill. Only the bill and
- the price calculations are changed, the other
- statistics are still based on *all* entries.
-
- [c] - CallInfo will show calculations for each entry.
-
- [n] - using 'CallInfo' without this option will make the
- first counter last 1.5 times the normal length. This
- will make the best possible match if your logfile
- consists of many entries. However, if you want to
- disable this feature and instead make a "worst match",
- this can be done by choosing this option. CallInfo will
- then always use the normal counterlength.
-
- [w] - CallInfo will make a graph displaying how the calls
- are dispersed on the different weekdays.
-
- [d] - CallInfo will make a graph displaying how the calls
- are dispersed on the different hours of a day.
-
- [t] - CallInfo will display a list of the top twenty boards
- and a lot of information for each board, like how
- much time and money you have been spending on each
- board.
-
- You can redirect the output from this program by entering
- "CallInfo >name". 'Name' has to be a valid AmigaDOS file or
- device name.
-
- Please observe; CallInfo uses the following dateformat:
- "MMM DD YYYY". "Nov 23 1988" is an example of a valid date format.
-
- The program can also be started from Workbench, simply click on
- the icon.

- IMPORTANT
-
- I am not economical responsible if any calculations
- made by this program are wrong. This program is only
- meant to give you an estimate of what your next phone
- bill will be!
-
- When you specify the prices in CallInfo.rate, remember
- to include the VAT! Or you will get a chock when the next
- bill arrives...
-
- When entering phonenumbers in the NComm phonebook,
- enter them without spaces so that CallInfo can recognize
- them.
-
- If your logfile consists of more than 100 boardnames, the
- toptwenty list made by CallInfo might not be correct.
