HISTORY
History: 0.1a (04/26/94) Internal only. First alpha.
Only the log-trimming is functional.
0.11a(04/28/94) Internal only. Second alpha.
Added the following summary information to display:
* Amount of time BBS in use
* Average time BBS in use per day
* Average length of call
* Total number of calls
Added "baton" to show that it's working.
0.12a(04/29/94) Internal only. Third alpha.
Changed summary info and how it's displayed.
Now prints the following info for each node in
a table:
* Node number
* Total time on-line
* Total number of calls
* Average time on-line (daily)
* Average number of calls (daily)
* Average length of calls
* Percent usage
Changed most other display routines.
0.13a(05/02/94) Internal only. Fourth alpha.
Changed output routines again:
* User-definable output device (file, screen, etc)
0.14a(08/22/94) Internal only. Fifth alpha.
Very minor changes.
I swore I wouldn't touch this program again until I
could re-write it in C++ (which I'm learning), but
a problem cropped up:
* Changed a few numeric types to long to
correct problem with overrunning a few variables
when processing very large log files. Namely,
I found the program couldn't handle the fact
that my system was getting more than 32768
minutes of use for the reporting period of
20 days.
* Minor changes to final report. Now reports date
and time run.
0.15a(08/24/94) Internal only. Sixth alpha.
* Now supports Expanded log styles.
* Changed BBSREPT.CFG format to Windoze INI style.
0.151a(08/24/94)Internal only. Bug fix.
* Wasn't handling Compact logs correctly.
0.152a(08/31/94)Internal only. Bug fix.
* Was creating TMP files with spaces in names in OS/2.
0.153a(09/03/94)Internal only.
* Added comment capabilities to CFG files.
* Added user-defined run-time logging.
* Fixed another file naming problem in OS/2.
0.154a(09/11/94)Internal only.
* Added Usage Graph.
0.16a(09/16/94) Internal only.
* Added BBSREPT_Log_Mode option of "None"
* You no longer have to specify Bar_Max. This is
determined by the program.
* Automatically determines RA log type. Log_Style
parameter removed from BBSREPT.CFG.
* Multiple methods of showing progress during
operation.
* The Graph is produced in both full-color ANSI
and straight ASCII.
* The Report is now created with .ANS and .ASC
extensions. They're both ASCII for now.
0.161(10/01/94) Internal only. Bug fix.
* Wasn't handling single-node systems correctly, so
the graph wasn't being created.
* Was not creating the graph correctly for systems with
less than 5% difference between their busiest and
least-busy lines.
0.162(10/5/94) Last Beta version. Next stop: Shareware!
* Incorporated a registration system using a KEY file.
* Report is now produced in ANSI as well as ASCII.
1.00 (10/12/94) A finished product at last!
* Documentation completely re-written.
* Minor speed tweaks.
* Didn't get around to hatching it out until
11/26/94.
1.10(12/06/94) Second Release.
* Made all output files prettier by using different
colors and centering headings.
* Dramatic speed increase! Despite added features,
it runs in less than half the time of the previous
version.
* Fixed minor coloring problem in BBS Activity
Table.
* Added routine to report on games usage.
* Added routine (registered only) to report on
games that may be having trouble running or
are not being used.
* Fixed Progress Reporting problem when Method
set to "Bar" or "Percent".
* BBSREPT.CFG section added to documentation.
1.11(12/9/94) Bug Fix.
* Wasn't correctly handling time in door games if
door was entered before midnight and exited
after midnight.
1.20(12/14/94) Third (actually second release -- see below)
* While waiting for feedback from beta testers,
I couldn't keep my hands off the program. So,
* Added downloads reporting. BBS Activity Table
now shows total number of downloads and total
megabytes or gigabytes downloaded for reporting
period.
* Program now logs run time to BBSREPT.LOG.
* All requests for chat are now logged to
CHATRQST.RPT. Not pretty yet, but kinda
neat.
