ENHANCED CALLER LOG SHRINKER V1.0
───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
-Dox By Timecop
1. Introduction.
~~~~~~~~~~~~
First of all I would like to thank Drew for giving me yet another great
idea. ECS is a pretty much straight forward utility that trims your
huge caller log down to size. If you used LOGTAME by Vigilante before
you probably noticed that it's not as fast as it could be. Well, if you
are one of those, this thing is for you.
2. Syntax.
~~~~~~
There are only three (3) things that you have to tell ECS.
1) Where your caller log is.
2) Where you want your output file to be.
3) How many days you want to go back from today.
As you can see, no knowledge of calculus is required in order to operate
the utility.
3. Different situatins.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Let's say you have something like this in your caller log:
**************************************************************
NO CONNECT / NO CARRIER+++
**************************************************************
ECS will blow away all logs that have no dates in them, including the
one that you see above.
Also there are a lot of logs that look like this:
**************************************************************
Back from DOS at 15:35
Carrier Lost.
Last Callers v2.00 - Updated Successfully!
Weektop v1.50 Final - User Didn't Upload!
07-28-95 (15:36) (7) TIMECOP -/╫\-SysGod Himself-/╫\-
(blah, blah, blah)
**************************************************************
Since ECS searches for a date, once it finds one, it checks if the date
is in the range that you specified. If it is, ECS starts copying lines
from there. In other words first four (4) lines in the above example
will be taken out if the date is within the range, otherwise the whole log
will be blown away.
Notice that all logs are separated by a line of stars.
4. A few words about utility itself.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
ECS was written in C and compiled with Borland C++ v3.1 with all necessary
optimizations for the fastest performance. And it *does* work two times
faster than LOGTAME by Vigilante released some time last year.
5. Greetings.
