- Thanks for trying out RGReport v1.0!
-
- This program was designed to give sysops an easy and efficient way to
- look at their board, as well as their user base, resulting in a complete,
- easy to understand report file, that can grow easilly to 100k!
-
- If you have any complaints, queries, or comments about RGReport, please
- feel free to drop me a note at the addresses listed at the end of this
- document.
-
- Please feel free to distribute this software far and wide, as it is a
- FREE program and requires NO REGISTRATION what so ever.

- ╙─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────╜
-
- RGReport is extreamly simple to install... You can install it anywhere
- on your hard drive, and can run it two different ways.
-
- ■ From the main BBS directory
- ■ From an other directory, letting it find the RG directory using the
- BBS Environment variable (ie: SET BBS=C:\RG)
-
- If it is used in one of the above setups, RGReport will automatically
- find where to find the rest of the files.
-
- When you run it for the first time, you will be prompted to create a
- configuration file on how you want your report generated. This file will
- make the difference between a 50k report, and a 100k report.
-
- The report consists of three basic sections, taken from three files:
- ■ RENEGADE.DAT - Detailed report
- ■ USERS.DAT - Reports by User
- ■ USERS.DAT - Reports by Category
-
- Although the last takes the longest time to produce, I find it to be the
- most helpful - for example, you can quickly find out which users have high
- security access, which users have only called once, etc.
-
- NOTE: RGReport has been tested on Renegade 07-17-93, and may cause
- unpredictable results with any other versions. Use at your own risk.

-
- I appreciate hearing all reports of any bugs, comments, or complaints you may
- have about this program. When reporting a bug, please include as much detailed
- information as possible. Be sure to include the name of the program, as well
- as the version you are using, the version of TG you are using, your computer
- kind (486 DX2/66) and any TSRs you may have running in the background.
-
- Any suggestions about this program are extreamly appreciated. I am looking
- forward to hearing any features you would.
-
- I can fix a problem faster if you give me the run time error as well as the
- address of which the error occured (Runtime Error ### at ####:####).
-
- All attempts will be made to correct any bugs as soon as they come to my
- attention. Never assume that I may know of any bugs in the program - there
- is a very good possibility I may not know of them, and I would not like
- leaving them untouched.
-
- This program was written with the RG file structures right at hand, but not
- all possible variables were placed into the final EXE. If there is something
- you know of that I haven't included, please send me mail and I'll put it
- into the next release as soon as possible. As well, I would really appreciate
- some more Yes/No toggles that I could use in the configuration file to cut
- down the size of the output file! (Some BBSes easilly come out to 100k
- reports!)
-
- This program is released as freeware, but any donations you may think are
- appropriate are graciously appreciated (even $1), and may be sent to the
- address below.
-
- Thanks, and good luck!
