- What Is "Who Called"
- ─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
-
- "Who Called" is a simple little RemoteAccess utility for the
- SysOp to see who has called the bbs today. It does not draw
- ANSI screens or even save the info to a file. "Who Called"
- simply shows you a screen similar to the built-in feature of
- Today's Callers inside RemoteAccess.
-
- I started running two lines on my BBS. I liked the idea of
- using two different logs - one for each line - but I got
- tired of reading two different logs to see who had called.
- So, "Who Called" was invented. I don't know, there may be
- another one out there somewhere just like this, but I wanted
- to write one myself.
-
- This program is not intended to be used on the bbs. It will
- not output through the comport by itself. It is intended to
- be a tool for sysops, not a replacement for the internal
- listing for RA.
-
- "Who Called" can be used with both RemoteAccess v1.11 and
- 2.00.g1+.
-
- The best of all - "Who Called" is FREE!

- Do I Need "Who Called"
- ─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
-
- If you are wanting to quickly view your callers for the day
- without having to log on locally or view the logs... YES!!!

- DISCLAIMER
- ─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
-
- The only thing that I guarantee is that it was written by me.
- It works great here and on another system that I know of but
- it may not work on yours for some reason. I won't be held
- responsible from any hard/software damages that you may incur
- resulting from running "Who Called". (Had to say it... but
- I'm sure you won't have any difficulty).
-
- This program has been tested with DOS 5.0 and OS2 2.10

- Setting Up and Running "Who Called"
- ─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
-
- Installation and configuration is easy. Simply be sure you
- have your RA environment variable set and that's it!
-
- You do NOT have to have "Who Called" in any particular
- directory, I keep it in its own directory on my system.
-
- (If you do not know how to set your RA environment, refer to
- the manual for RemoteAccess)
-
- Now you simply type WHOCALLD and look at the screen.
-
-
-
- ─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
- Important Things To Remember
- ─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
-
- 1. You must have the RA environment variable set.
-
- 2. You must have your system path assigned in your RA
- configuration.
-
- 3. This program is not intended to replace the "Today's
- Callers" feature internal to RA. Please don't make it a door
- - your users will get stuck.

- Support
- ─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
-
- I doubt if you need it, but I'll answer simple questions if
- you netmail me at one of the above listed addresses. I will
- be limited to routing your replies back, though. I'm not
- charging for this program, so I'm not gonna spend any money
- supporting it either. Like I said before, I doubt if you'll
- need any help.

- ─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
-
- Ah, I said it was free, didn't I. Well, it is. But, I would
- like to know that you are using it. Take a moment and send me
- netmail (just route it and save a dime) at one of the
- addresses listed above.
-
- Who knows, maybe I'll stick you on an electronic mailing list
- for other goodies I'll write.
-
- If you run "Who Called" and would like to see other little
- programs like this get made, and you want to help compensate
- me for the time I took to write it (actually the docs took
- longer to write than the program), you can send me a donation

- This program was inspired by two people. They are:
-
- 1. Andrew Milner - author of RemoteAccess.
- Without his SUPER bbs program, I would have never thought
- to write this <grin>. Great job Andrew! Keep up the good
- work.
-
- 2. My Wife, Carolyn - author of my happiness.
- She really doesn't like me sitting and playing on the
- computer a lot - but she encourages me with little
- ego boosters like "that looks great, Honey"...
- Thanks for the support!
