║ ░░░░ Introduction ░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░ ║
╙─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────╜
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.

║ ░░░░ Installation ░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░ ║
╙─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────╜
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!
