- INTRODUCTORY NOTE
- -----------------
-
- Although PRO-STATS is included in the shareware version of PRO-FILE,

- Prostats.ans.

-
- OVER VIEW
- ---------
-
- PRO-STATS is a registration bonus included with PRO-FILE that serves
- as a reporter. This reporter provides information regarding PRO-FILE by
- generating a graphical and professional stats report users can view on-line
- as a text file (like the PRO-FILE file lists). This report contains
- information on area usage, rating percentage, totals, best & worst
- categories, and even a special comic relief section.
-
-
-
-
- REQUIREMENTS
- ------------
-
- All you need to use this program is a computer (right?) with about 92k free
- RAM, and most importantly, a registered version of PRO-FILE.
-
-
-
- INSTALLATION
- ------------
-
- PRO-STATS is a sinch to install and can be run daily as an event.
- Once set up, you won't have to worry about a thing (as with all PRO-FILE
- related software).
- First, create a batch file called PROSTATS.Cfg and place it in your
- PRO-FILE directory. This small configuration file must consist of:
-
- 1) Board name
- 2) Path to your RA Users file (Users.BBS). Do not include actual filename.
- 3) Path and filename of the output text file (the stats). Do not include
- extension or trailing backslash. It will be added automatically.
-
- Example:
-
- The Gamer's Connection
- C:\RA\Users\
- C:\RA\Textfile\ProStats
-
-
- Last, use RAMenu to add an option to your file menu(s) to display your
- pro-stats report (textfile.)
-
- Example:
-
- Type 5
- - - - -
- Optional Datafield: ProStats
- Hotkey: P
- User Display: [P]ro-File Stats Report
-
-
-
- USAGE
- -----
-
- To use PRO-STATS, just type in PROSTATS. It is recommended that you
- conveniently set it up as a daily event. Using this method, everything
- will be taken care of automatically. See the RA documentation for more
- information on setting up an event.
-
- To restrict certain areas from being in the report, use the control file
- PROSecur.Ctl. (This may or may not exist). The format of the file is:
-
- Area Number (Space) Security Level (Space) X
-
- Examples:
- 5 1 X
- 25 20 X
- 50 35
-
- The first and second lines would restrict areas 5 and 100 from the report.
- The last line is not used by PRO-STATS but may be being used by another
- PRO-FILE related utility. (PROSecur.Ctl is used in conjunction with
- PRO-FILE, PRO-INFO, PROCON, and PRO-STATS)
