■ 1 ■ │ What is InfoStat?
└──
InfoStat is a little FREE Program that displays User Statistics anywhere!!
Since it's a little executable program, it saves code, it's efficient and
runs very fast!

■ 2 ■ │ How do I use it?
└──
It's very simple! First, unzip the INFOST*.ZIP to your Root BBS Directory,
this including INFO.EXE, INFO.ANS and INFO.CFG. Then, simply add the following
line in your Logon Event! To edit it, simply go in your Init (You *REALLY*
should be using WWIVsys, by the French Mod Division) and load up "External
Programs". Add this under "Logon Event" (Or in a Batch file if you use one):
INFO.EXE C:\WWIV\CHAIN.TXT C:\WWIV\INFO.CFG
Of course, you substitue C:\WWIV\ by whichever directory you have, leading to
your CHAIN.TXT (Root BBS Directory)
I have included a Batch file which you can edit yourself, and use anywhere you
want.
That's all! Load up your BBS and logon Locally for yourself. Have a look and
enjoy!

■ 3 ■ │ How do I edit the Configuration File?
└──
This is simple. Load up INFO.CFG from your favorite ASCii text editor.
This cannot be Word Perfect, Word, Write or Ami Pro. It must be your typical
editor (Such as EDIT.EXE, Q.EXE or K.EXE). It is important that you:
- !!!!! Do not Insert, Delete or Modify any blank lines !!!!!
- Leave Blank lines blank. Do not comment anything in.
- When editing the baud rate, it ***MUST*** be 5 digits long, so if you have a
2400, 1200 or 300.. you'd put "02400", "01200" and "00300". That's all.
If you're running one of those speeds anyway, you SHOULD get a new modem <g>
- You may edit the 2 CoSysOp fields, and the location field, no problem.
- Remember, don't edit the empty lines, leave them empty.

■ 4 ■ │ Who was part of it's making?
└──
The Original authors of this software were Liquid Vision, who wrote IceStat.
This software was released as Freeware in the Public Domain, including it's
source codes. I really liked the idea of it, and thought it could use
improvement. Here is the full Chart of members:
Original Authors: Life Force (Programming Group)
Original Beta Testers: Jim Nunn - Troy Lancaster
Revision & Updates Author : Alex Buchanan (ExPoS) 4@20305 WWIVnet
Great Helpers and Assistant: Patrick Higgins (Ghost)
Paul Lafontaine (The Borg)

■ 5 ■ │ How can I change the ANSi?
└──
You can easily Change INFO.ANS as it is a normal ANSI file. I recommend
TheDraw as it's the easiest and most versatile but you can use any. Just make
sure you keep the original Template so that the Pause Swirling and the infos
are printed out in a logical spot.

■ 6 ■ │ What's coming in the future?
└──
Basically, I will only be improving InfoStat.. Hope fully I would like to be
able to add both of the features in it's name "Info" and "Stat". So far Stat is
all right, Informations now, that's a different story.. I need ideas.. As being
an inexperienced programmer, I am still new to the external utilities prgrmming
world and need practice, so don't expect miracles!
