-
- Welcome!
-
- This program was written for the inquiring Sysop who would like
- to know how many incoming calls he has had and at what speed they came
- in at. It will also give you the percentage of 'Connects' per total
- calls and then graph it for those who love graphics.
-
- I wrote this program for my own information using TechnoJocks
- Turbo Toolkit 5.0 and Borlands Turbo Pascal 7.0 after seeing one program
- that read the nodelist and compiled the modem type flags.
-
- ▒▒▒ WARNING ▒▒▒
-
- This program is for the D'BRIDGE mailing system log ONLY. It most likely
- will now work if non-standard entries are in the Dbridge.log. Do not
- attempt to read other logfiles with it (sort of hard since the default
- name is Dbridge.log). If you do I disavow any knowledge of your actions
- (sounds like Mission Impossible doesn't it? <G>).
-
- Anyway, this program will track connects at 300,1200,2400,9600,14400 and
- 16800 baud. If modems get faster I guess I'll update it for that.
- Also you do not have to enter a path as it will find your log on the
- drive you entered, that is if you have DB in your path.
-
- If you have registered this utility, you will have these options:
-
- - to change the name of your DB log file.
- - change the type of character used in making the modem speed graph.
- - makes a text file called 'DBFREQ.LOG' which tracks the file
- requests made to your system by date, time, requestee, node address
- and file requested.
- - program will make an ANSI file of the output screen for your BBS.
-
- NOTE: If you have registered, your .key file must be in the same
- directory as DBLS. Do not put it in D'Bridge's root directory
- (DB doesn't like other .key files).
-
- {-----------------------------------------------------------------------}
- ---Changes---
-
- 7 Mar 93 - Added 16,800 baud to program and cleaned up screen display.
- 24 Mar 93 - Corrected bug with scanning a DB log in 'Debug' format.
- 9 Apr 93 - Added an optional configuration section for 'Registered' owners.
- 21 May 93 - Shortened drive prompt to just the drive letter. Terminates
- program differently to allow the usage of the 'Print Screen'
- function in DOS.
- 2 Aug 93 - Corrected error in DBFREQ.LOG routine that did not read the
- Binkley 'YOOHOO' correctly.
-
- 13 Aug 93 - Corrected ANSI file not writing to default directory.
-
- {------------------------------------------------------------------------}

- FIRST THINGS FIRST
- ==================
-
- DB LogScan 2.01b is released as "Shareware". It is not free. If
- you like it and use it beyond a 20 day trial period, please
- register it. The registration fee is $5.00 (US). You can use
- the registration form or order form that should be in the
- original archive. Send your form and money order (preferred over
- check) to:

- DEFINITION OF SHAREWARE
-
- Shareware distribution gives users a chance to try software
- before buying it. If you try a Shareware program and continue
- using it, you are expected to register. Individual programs
- differ on details -- some request registration while others
- require it, some specify a maximum trial period. With
- registration, you get anything from the simple right to continue
- using the software to an updated program with printed manual.
-
- Copyright laws apply to both Shareware and commercial software,
- and the copyright holder retains all rights, with a few specific
- exceptions as stated below. Shareware authors are accomplished
- programmers, just like commercial authors, and the programs are
- of comparable quality. (In both cases, there are good programs
- and bad ones!) The main difference is in the method of
- distribution. The author specifically grants the right to copy
- and distribute the software, either to all and sundry or to a
- specific group. For example, some authors require written
- permission before a commercial disk vendor may copy their
- Shareware.
-
-
- Shareware is a distribution method, not a type of software. You
- should find software that suits your needs and pocketbook,
- whether it's commercial or Shareware. The Shareware system makes
- fitting your needs easier, because you can try before you buy.
- And because the overhead is low, prices are low also. Shareware
- has the ultimate money-back guarantee -- if you don't use the
- product, you don't pay for it.

- DISCLAIMER - AGREEMENT
-
- Users of DB LogScan 2.01b must accept this disclaimer of warranty:
- "DB LogScan 2.01b is supplied as is. The author disclaims all
- warranties, expressed or implied, including, without limitation,
- the warranties of merchantability and of fitness for any purpose.
- The author assumes no liability for damages, direct or
- consequential, which may result from the use of DB LogScan 2.01."
-
- DB LogScan 2.01b is a "shareware program" and is provided at no
- charge to the user for evaluation, though a small fee is
- permitted to cover copying and shipping charges. Feel free to
- share it with your friends, but please do not give it away
- altered or as part of another system. The essence of "user-
- supported" software is to provide personal computer users with
- quality software without high prices, and yet to provide
- incentive for programmers to continue to develop new products.
- If you find this program useful and find that you are using
- DB LogScan 2.01b and continue to use it after a reasonable trial
- period, you must make a registration payment of $5.00 to Bill
- Crouch. The $5.00 registration fee will license one copy for
- use on any one computer at any one time. You must treat this
- software just like a book. An example is that this software may
- be used by any number of people and may be freely moved from one
- computer location to another, so long as there is no possibility
- of it being used at one location while it's being used at
- another, just as a book cannot be read by two different persons
- at the same time. PLEASE NOTE: Copying and distribution fees
- paid to a shareware distributor are NOT part of the registration
- fee. Bill Crouch receives no part of the copying and
- distribution fees paid to distributors. Those fees are to cover
- the distributor's cost. (And allow them a small profit.)
-
- You are encouraged to pass a copy of DB LogScan 2.01b along to your
- friends for evaluation. Please encourage them to register their
- copy if they find that they can use it. All registered users
- may file request a copy of the latest version of DB LogScan by using
- the magic name of 'DBLS' and also pick up their registration key by
- polling my system.
-
- You will also receive free support by e-mail if you have a
- problem running the software. The free support will last for a
- year after you register the program. This support is through
- FidoNet, at 1:352/999, with netmail. If you write to the author,
- Bill Crouch, please poll within 5 days for your reply.
-
- You may also feel free to upload DB LogScan, in its original
- archive, to bbs's, etc.
