- FASTAT = File Area STATistics
-
- FASTAT is a utility program to generate a set of ANS/ASC bulletin files
- containing file area statistics. FASTAT is intended to be used with
- Powerboard BBS software 1.25 or 1.25A. It has not been tested with other
- versions.
-
- FORMAT:
-
- FASTAT [/B:bulletin number] [/C:conference number]
-
- FASTAT must be placed into your main BBS directory (C:\BBS or whatever).
- FASTAT will access your AREAS\FAREA1.BBS file to get a list of file areas.
- It will then go to each area and read the FILES.BBS file to get file
- information for that area.
-
- FASTAT will generate statistics on all file areas included in the selected
- conference number. If you say "FASTAT /C:2", a report of file areas in
- conference 3 will be generated. If you omit the "/C" operand, conference
- one will be default.
-
- FASTAT will create two files: BULL<bulletin number>.ANS and
- BULL<bulletin number>.ASC. For example, if you type "FASTAT /B:4" then FASTAT
- will create BULL4.ANS and BULL4.ASC. If you omit the bulletin number on the
- command line, FASTAT will create BULL0.ANS and BULL0.ASC.
-
- The bulletin files will list all file areas in conference 1 and show how
- many files and bytes are in each area. At the bottom of the bulletin, totals
- are displayd for files and bytes. Commas are inserted into the bytes coloum
- for easier reading.
-
- FASTAT will place the bulletin files it creates in the DISPLAY\ directory.
