- DISTRIBUTION:
- =============
-
- You may make this file available for downloading from your BBS or you may
- upload it to any BBS of your choice, provided that you do not make any
- changes to the contents of the archive (ZIP file).
-
-
- PROGRAM DESCRIPTION:
- ====================
-
- TRISTAT is designed to analyze the CALLERS.LOG of your TriBBS Bulletin Board,
- and generate both ANSI and ASCII bulletins which contain various statistics
- concerning the operation of your TriBBS BBS. The statistics displayed in
- the bulletins will be based upon the data in the CALLERS.LOG for the time
- period covered in the CALLERS.LOG. For example, if the date of the first
- entry in the CALLERS.LOG is 06/01/92, and the date of the last entry is
- 07/15/92, then the statistics displayed in the bulletins will be based upon
- data contained in the CALLERS.LOG from 06/01/92 to 07/15/92.
-
- Data displayed in the bulletins includes: Total Calls, # Local Logons,
- # of calls per baud (300 thru 38400), # of Dropped Carriers,
- # of Exceeded Time Limits, # of Incorrect Passwords, # of Keyboard Time Out,
- Total Downloads, Total Uploads, # of Bulletins Read, # Messages Entered,
- # Doors Opened, # Times SysOp Paged, # of New Users Added, and the number of
- Total Calls by Time of Day the BBS has received.
-
- NOTE:
- =====
-
- The TRISTAT.KEY file that is distributed with this program does NOT expire!
- This is simply here so the door has a KEY to read. When you register,
- you will receive a new TRISTAT.KEY file, which will remove the UNREGISTERED
- notice from the bulletins, and diplay the name of your BBS, etc.
-
-
- FEATURES:
- =========
- --- Easy to set up.
- --- BETA tested on a TriBBS BBS.
- --- Support BBS available.
- --- Generates ANSI and ASCII bulletins.
- --- One time registration fee good for any future version.
-
-
- INSTALLATION:
- =============
- 1. Place three files, (TRISTAT.CFG, TRISTAT.EXE, and TRISTAT.KEY), in your
- main TriBBS directory. (Example: C:\TRIBBS)
-
- 2. Using a text editor, edit the TRISTAT.CFG file to include the required
- information as shown in the examples below.
-
- Example #1:
-
- The File Cabinet BBS <-- The name of your BBS.
- C:\TRIBBS\DISPLAY\BULLET17.BBS <-- Path to your ASCII bulletin.
- C:\TRIBBS\DISPLAY\BULLET17.ANS <-- Path to your ANSI bulletin.
-
- Example #2:
-
- The File Cabinet BBS <-- The name of your BBS.
- C:\TRIBBS\DISPLAY\LOGON2.BBS <-- Path to your ASCII bulletin.
- C:\TRIBBS\DISPLAY\LOGON2.ANS <-- Path to your ANSI bulletin.
-
- Note: The path to your ASCII and ANSI bulletins MUST include the
- filename of both your ASCII and ANSI bulletins.
-
- 3. TRISTAT is executed with the following command:
-
- TRISTAT C:\TRIBBS\MWORK\CALLERS.LOG
-
- TRISTAT can be executed from the TriBBS BETWEEN.BAT file, which will
- result in TRISTAT generating updated bulletins between each call.
- Therefore, using a text editor, edit the BETWEEN.BAT file located in
- your main TriBBS directory, and add the required information as
- shown in the example below.
-
- TRISTAT C:\TRIBBS\MWORK\CALLERS.LOG
-
- Note: For additional information on the use of the BETWEEN.BAT file,
- please refer to your TriBBS manual.
-
- MAINTENANCE:
- ============
-
- After the initial setup, no maintenance is required. KEEP IN MIND however,
- the period of time covered in the CALLERS.LOG. You might consider deleting,
- removing, etc. the CALLERS.LOG at the end of each month, so that the
- data displayed in the bulletins, can be done on a month-to-month basis.
