TCALLER -- Version 1.01

Disclaimer...........
I hold no responsibility for any damage to hardware, software,
small fluffy animals or anything else that may suffer from the
running of this programme. Use it at your own risk.
Status....
This Programme is freeware. Use it as your will. But feel free to
send me any feedback you may have, good or bad.
What is it?....................
Tcaller reads your T-mail log file and creates an ansi output screen
that can be displayed on your bbs. The screen contains a list of all
incoming mail callers and bbs users for the current day.
History.................
The first version of Tcaller was written so I could have an ansi
display of incoming mail callers. I wrote it simply because there
was nothing else about that did the job I wanted it to do.
I then decided I wanted to put the bbs callers on the same list
and thats what this version does.
Files..................
Tcaller.exe reads the tmail log and produces display.
TcallRA.exe reads the lastcall.bbs file and writes to log.
Tcaller.ctl control file for tcaller.
TcallRA.ctl control file for tcallra.
Tcaller.doc This file.
Dupe.dat data file that reduces risk of duplicate entries.
Tcaller.ans Sample ansi file from my system.
Installation.............
The Tcall*.ctl files MUST be in the same directory as the Tcall*.exe
files.
Tcaller.ctl...
Enter the full path and file name of your tmail.log file in the first
line of the CTL file.
Enter the full path and file name of the ansi screen...
IE.
D:\bbs\tmail\logs\tmail01.log
d:\bbs\ra\txtfiles\tcaller.ans
TcallRA.ctl...
Enter the full path and file name of your lastcall.bbs file in the
first line of the CTL file.
Enter the full path and file name of your tmail.log file in
the second line....
IE.
D:\bbs\ra\lastcall.bbs
d:\bbs\tmail\logs\tmail01.log
I run Tcaller in a batch file after every mail session.
IE. in T-mail.ctl I have the line...
Process session d:\bbs\tmail\toss.bat
My toss.bat file is as follows...
Echo off
cd d:\bbs\fmail
fmail3 import
fmail3 pack
fmail3 toss
cd d:\bbs\tmail
tmsite.exe
tcaller.exe
tmr /ANS:d:\bbs\ra\txtfiles\tmr.ans
Run the TcallRA.exe file in your bbs batch file after every
user logs off, directly followed by Tcaller.exe.
Then I use the display ans file (type 5) menu option in RA.
In the Ansi display, BBS calls are marked with 'RA' after the
time field.
Thanks to..........
Special thanks to the two people who made sure I didnt make
a complete pigs ear out of this....
