-
- 1. Introduction.
-
- QBFBStat is a utility that will allow the Sysop of a QuickBBS BBS
- to produce a Files Area Statistic Report that features the following:
-
- a. Total files in all selected areas.
- b. Total bytes in all selected areas.
- c. Total files for each area selected.
- d. Total bytes for each area selected.
- e. Percentage of the total files that each area contains.
- f. Ascii and Ansi Bulletins.
- g. Multiple bulletins.
- h. Full File Area Security Level/Security Flag Checking.
-
-
- QBFBStat uses the environment variable QUICK to find the system files
- for your QuickBBS BBS system. If you don't have this variable set then
- QBFBStat will try to find the FILECFG.DAT, QUICKCFG.DAT files in the current
- directory. Selected areas are determined by using Security and Flags settings
- configured in the QBFBSTAT.CTL file. The Security and Flags used are the
- same as that are used in FILECFG.DAT. Areas that don't match the criteria
- specified will not be processed.
-
- QBFBStat allows you to create multiple bulletins by specifying the
- -F option at startup. You can have a different QBFBSTAT.CTL file
- that may contain different file area specifications.
-
-
- 2. Files needed by QBFBStat:
-
- INPUT:
-
- QUICKCFG.DAT - QuickBBS BBS Configuration File.
- FILECFG.DAT - File Areas Configuration.
- QBFBSTAT.CTL - Control file for QBFBSTAT. Or any .CTL file
- that is defined on the command line when executed.
-
- OUTPUT:
-
- BULLETIN.ANS
- BULLETIN.ASC - A bulletin file that you will specify in
- QBFBSTAT.CTL file. Actually two files will
- be created as output. One is a plain ascii
- file, the other will contain ansi screen
- commands for color. When specifying the
- filenames, DO NOT append .ASC or .ANS.
- QBFBSTAT will append an extension for you.
-
-
-
- 3. An Editor that will create text files, such as EDLIN, GALAXY,
- or any Editor that will allow CR/LF combinations at the end of each
- line has to be used. Create the QBFBStat.Ctl file in your QuickBBS
- System directory with the following information:
-
-
-

-
-
- QBFBStat.Exe need not exist in the QuickBBS System directory to
- generate the bulletin(s). The -F option allows you to
- execute QBFBStat from anywhere on your system. By default
- QBFBStat will search the currently accessed directory for
- the QBFBStat.CTL file.
