▀▀ 1 - Introduction
▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀
First of all I would like to say - Thanks for choosing Sys-Stat!
I hope you will not be disappointed.
I've worked very hard on this program to make it one of the best and highest
quality programs for use with RemoteAccess, however this taken some
considerable time and has incurred some costs which I hope to cover and so
Sys-Stat is shareware - but cheap!
A free evaluation period of 30 days is given, please do not abuse this.

▀▀ 2 - How to configure Sys-Stat?
▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀
First of all, copy all the Sys-Stat files to their own directory.
(ie. \ra\sys-stat)
Next you need to set the RemoteAccess environment path. If you are using
either FrontDoor or InterMail as a mailer then you need to set these
environment paths too. To set a environment path you use the DOS command
'SET' - please refer to your DOS manual if you are unsure on how to use
this command.
When this has been set you need to run STATCFG.EXE. If you choose
auto-import STATCFG will try to auto-import most of the configuration itself.
If you choose auto-import and nothing happens then you must restart your
computer and turn auto-import off.
Please walk through the STATCFG program and enter as many of the details as
you can. It should be quite easy, and most of the time a help line will be
shown at the bottom of the screen. When finished choose "Exit setup" and
reply "Yes" to save the configuration prompt.
Please read the chapter "More about STATCFG" if you would like to now more
about how to configure Sys-Stat.

▀▀ 3 - SYS-STAT, the main program
▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀
Once you have configured Sys-Stat with the STATCFG program you are ready to
run the main program - SYS-STAT.EXE.
It is a good idea when using Sys-Stat to run SYS-STAT.EXE each time a user
logs-off from the BBS, or at least one a day.
If Sys-Stat is executed without any parameters then it will use the
configured STATCFG options. It is also possible to run Sys-Stat with
parameters which is often preferred as it allows more flexibility in
choosing when to run each function.

▀▀ 4 - More about STATCFG
▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀
Sys-Stats functions/options are briefly described here - but a few of
the more important ones are described in more detail.
If you want to toggle mono or the nofancy option then use the 'STATCFG /?'
to display a list of commands.
Cookie path...
If a filename is listed here then a cookie will be added to messages
sent with the send messages function of Sys-Stat (Often used to
welcome new-users and list the rules of the BBS system).
Lost carrier
Send a message to users who drop carrier, forgetting that this can cause
the system to lock up.
Birthday messages
Send a message to users when it is their birthday. It is nice to add that
personal touch and the users will feel much more welcome on your BBS.
Backup system
It is possible to create backups of important files on the system.
A good idea is to create backup of log files, user database files,
system files and configuration files.
News generator
Creates a good looking news screen that your users will see when they
log-in. Read the file news.txt for a list of colour codes and macros
to use.
Site information changer
If you are using a mailer such as FrontDoor or InterMail then you can
change the 'System name' and 'Location' between a number of set ones
in Sys-Stat - ie. So that those who use your mailer will see a different
message each time they connect to you.
User upgrade system
Use this function to upgrade and downgrade users on your system, if
they deserve it. It is a very good idea to use this function so that you
do not need to spend time upgrading your users - it will just happen
automatically.
Filelist generator
Create your filelist so the users do not need to browse all your
areas online to find the file they need when they can do it offline.
Weekly report
Create a weekly report with information about this weeks activities.
ie. Calls this week, total number of files, new files this week,
number of new users this week, number of upgraded/downgraded
users, top statistics, login speeds, welcome messages,
lost carrier messages, total time used by users, files uploaded/
downloaded and messages written this week.
Weekly node report
Create a weekly node report to send to your downlinks/points with
information on how many times they have connected to your system
and how many kb they have received. Also a personal BBS record
is listed.
Fancy
Will let the process while running SYS-STAT look more fancy with
more information. Can also be used to debug Sys-Stat for errors.
Overall statistics
An overall statistics of the BBS.
Today callers
A list of the Today Callers with flags to show what the users did

If you have any problems with Sys-Stat such as run-time errors or other
difficulties then please refer to Sys-Stat FAQ. (File - sys-stat.faq)
which explains how to solve some of the general problems. If your problem is
not listed there then please write a e-mail/netmail to myself or a support
site and I/they will look into your problem/questions.
But remember!
- To explain your problem and enclose screen grabs, log-files or text-screens
- If sent by netmail remember to poll after an few days as it is often not
possible to route them back and can work out quite expensive if we were
to crash each reply individually. The reply will normally be put on hold.
Support is not only available to registered users but also for users who are
currently evaluating Sys-Stat.

The development of Sys-Stat started in October 1993. The program was just
another statistic program. It did not even create any files, but just
displayed a few statistics to the screen.
This has now changed. After nearly 4 years and a few major releases, Sys-Stat
has been improved a lot. Sys-Stat is not a full time job, but a program that
I write in my spare-time. Therefore I would like you to register to ensure
continued development of Sys-Stat.
I've spent many days and years programming Sys-Stat. The program is very
cheap. The money I receive is only for the expense of development.
A lot of people have through the years asked me of who I am... I am an
average person who has become interested in computers and programming. I live
in Denmark which is located in Europe. I was born at the end of the
seventies. A picture of me is available if you are smart enough to find it.
If you want to contact me by e-mail you can find my currently e-mail address
by looking up my name at http://www.whowhere.com where I will always update my
currently e-mail address.
