- Zipcount Version 1.00
-
- By Arturo Batista of 1:135/79

-
- Introduction:
-
- First, I must say that ZIPCOUNT is guaranteed to do nothing more than
- take space in your drive, and that I will not be held liable for any
- damage caused or apparently caused by ZIPCOUNT. Use it at you own risk.
-
- History:
-
- Zipcount is the direct offshoot of another simple utility of mine called
- LOGZIP. I wrote LOGZIP to time stamp my many logs at the end of each day
- and zip them all into one master file. That way all would be centrally
- located and already automatically divided into daily chunks to
- facilitate searching thru them.
- However, I also wanted to consolidate some of the functions of
- other utilities that were cluttering my BBS directory. Thus ZIPCOUNT was
- conceived. It combines the fuctions of LOGZIP, an RA download counter,
- and an FD files request counter. Previously I had several programs doing
- this, now they are combined in ZIPCOUNT.
-
- Usage:
- ZIPCOUNT requires that PKZIP.EXE be in the dos PATH. It will
- automatically search the path for PKZIP.EXE, and will abort if it can
- not find it.
- ZIPCOUNT is very simple to use. It needs at least two command line
- parameters, but a maximum of three as follows:
- ZIPCOUNT [1] [d:\path] [d:\path]
-
- Parameter #1 is a code to tell ZIPCOUNT what type of log it is
- processing and what action to take. The codes could be one of three:
-
- R would mean and Remote Access Fd style log, and count the downloads.
- In a case like this, when a download is found, Zipcount will search the
- corresponding files.bbs and if it contains an entry for that file, the
- counter is incremented by one. If that entry is not found in the
- files.bbs, ZIPCOUNT assumes that that file does not reside in that
- directory anymore and ignores that particular download.
-
- F works exactly the same as above except that the search patterns are
- altered to find file request in an FD style log. The way that the
- files.bbs is handled is basically the same, plus if a files.bbs does not
- exist for a file request, the freq is ignored too. That is to handle
- those file request from separate areas where the bbs does not access.
-
- Z tells ZIPCOUNT to just time/date stamp the log and zip it.
-
- The second command line parameter is the full pathname of the logfile to
- process. I.E. C:\RA\RA.LOG.
-
- These first two parameters are required, as a minimum for ZIPCOUNT to
- work. A third parameter may be pass (optional) to have ZIPCOUNT archive
- the logs to a given file. As an example, suppose I want to process
- c:\ra\ra.log and c:\fd\fd.log and then archive them to c:\logs.zip,
- then I would use the following:
-
- ZIPCOUNT R C:\RA\RA.LOG C:\LOGS.ZIP
- ZIPCOUNT F C:\FD\FD.LOG C:\LOGS.ZIP
-
- After the logs are processed they are renamed in the following manner:
-
- RA.log would become RAMMDD.LOG, where MM is the month and DD is the day
- of the month.
-
- Also if you type ZIPCOUNT<CR>, you will get a comprehensive help screen.
