This is an addendum to CAL14S24.ZIP and contains a new version of CALLS.EXE
which addresses the problems or new features listed below. A sample CALLS.CNF
is also included as several new entries have been added.
Problems:
1: With the new feature of PCBoard 14.5a that allows single character Door
names, CALLS.EXE locks up.
Fixed the routine that found the Door name and stripped off the path
information.
2: Non ANSI callers were ignored (those with (A) in the log), only (N) & (G)
graphics modes were being recognized.
Added Non ANSI as graphics mode (A) so now all three modes are reported.
3: Sysop sessions were ignored when PCBoard was setup to use the Sysops true
name instead of just SYSOP.
Added SYSOPNAME option to config file to allow recognizing the Sysop
in the caller log when the full name is used instead of SYSOP. If not
given the default is SYSOP.
4: Average Event Length always showed ZERO for my board, as the first event
activity was RNET which writes entries to the log that duplicate a User
logon and CALLS.EXE considers the Event to end the first caller entry.
This also causes problems that the Event does not terminate timing until
a caller logs on and this does not reflect event duration properly.
Added support for RNET that causes CALLS to not stop timing an event if
it sees the FirstName is RNET.EXE. Also Added EXCLUDENAME to allow skipping
another program like RNET.EXE that appears to log on as a User in the log.
If the first name of the User matches the EXCLUDENAME it is skipped.
(Also now allowed to specify up to 10 EXCLUDENAME entries)
Added the recognition of the line:
Scheduled Event ended at MM-DD-YY HH:MM:SS
to properly end the event time calculations rather than continuing time
until a caller logs on. This entry can be created by using a utility to
write lines to callers log. (Like my CL-PRINT.COM program.)
Added Event program report. Using the line
Event: program name started at MM-DD-YY HH:MM:SS
will begin the timing of an event program. Timing will end when another
line starting with 'Event: ' is detected, the Scheduled Event ended line
is detected or a User logon is deteced. The Number of times each program
is executed and total time is tracked and a report of Average time is
generated.
-= Average Event Program Times =-
Norton Speed Disk: 5 Times 31.6 Min Avg.
Backup: 5 Times 10.6 Min Avg.
PCBFile: 5 Times 6.2 Min Avg.
Call Analyzer: 5 Times 1.6 Min Avg.
5. Connect Type Report is not working.
Added recognition of 'Modem:' as connect type for PCBoard 14.x
compatability.
Added RINGFILTER ON/OFF to control removal of RING from CONNECT type
report. Also removes any additional text after the CONNECT XXXXXXXXX
message.
6. Batch Size Report is not working. (FREE Downloads also not working)
PCBoard 14.5a now supplies Batch transfer report, added support for
the format of this data so that this report now works.
PCBoard does not flag FREE or NO TIME Downloads in any way in the
caller log so this report can not 'easily' be made to work. The
amount of time the report would spend attempting to decide if a file
was FREE or not would not be worth it. If future versions of PCBoard
do note this in the caller log, I will get this report to work.
7. PCBVerify's report of "XXX-XXX-XXXX Added to trashcan" causes security
violation counts.
Fixed.
8. Sysop paged after hours, not counted.
Created seperate counter for this, along with report of Chat Time.
Added Node chat also
Added CHATMODE and NODEMODE which operate similar to EVENTMODE but
control Sysop Chat and Node Chat timing. But I recommend that they be
set to IDLE in most cases, Unless you find they need to be changed.
9. Messages left count did not include RNET imported messages, ZIPM
messages showed import & export count.
Made RNET import messages show in messages left count and also in
ZIPM (changed name to MAIL) count. RNET import counts as MAIL
executed.
10. Log off scripts did not count in Scripts Completed.
Made seperate counter for this.
13. Added configuration variable REPORTTYPE to control output generated.
ASCII will generate non-color version, ANSI will generate 'G' color
version, and BOTH will generate both (Default).
Added ReportType of PCBOARD to generate a single outputfile using
PCBoard @Xnn color codes
12. Added additional reports of Users who leave messages and Which Conference
is getting message traffic.
Added MAXMSGS & MAXUSERS to control new reports of Conference Messages
Left & User Messages Left
13. Added additional reports for reasons logged off and security violations.
Added Sysop Statistics 'S' report

14. Fixed problem with security levels being duplicated in .SAV file due to
spaces stripped off of first entry only.
15. Changed output structure of fileames in .SAV file to save space.
16. Added Language report by placing Language Number in Modem connect string
ie. Modem (1): CONNECT 2400
or Caller Number string
ie. Caller Number (1): 12345
or Security Level string
ie. Caller Security (1): 50
This is accomplished by using MKTXT145 to modify the record for the
'Modem: @OPTEXT@' (rec no 590), 'Caller Number: @OPTEXT@' (rec no 591)
or 'Caller Security: @OPTEXT@' (rec no 592) and adding the text (n) to
the current text as shown above (where n is the language number, ie.
for your first language you add (1), for your second language PCBTEXT
file you add (2), etc...)
17. Found limitation in graph routines that limited lists to 100 items, which
caused loss of many Names, Conference Bulletins, Conferences joined if
any list execeed that number of items, incresed limit to 500 which should
be sufficient for most systems, if not change the const (graph_num).
18. Added FILENAMES to control the saving of filenames and Counts to the
History File.
19. Added FILTERFILE Masks to allow filtering filenames from report and
history file. Wildcards are allowed and a special '#' wildcard will
match another '#' or a digit ('0' - '9') to aid in filtering capture
file downloads (#####?.ZIP and #####?.CAP).
20. Allowed for 10 EXCLUDENAME Entries & 50 FILTERFILE Masks Entries
21. Added Last-On Report, requires using program like CL-PRINT V2.0 to
write a line to the CALLER log file in the format of
Last On: MM-DD-YY (HH:MM)
or
Last On: MM-DD-YY (HH:MM) for nn Minute(s)
or
Last On: MM-DD-YY (HH:MM) for nn Minute(s) - #nnnn
The report format look like this:
-= Last Called In =-
Within One Week: 129 (19.9%) │░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░█
Previous Day: 112 (17.3%) │▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓█
Same Day: 99 (15.3%) │▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒█

Within One Month: 32 ( 4.9%) │▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓█
New Users: 24 ( 3.7%) │▒▒▒▒▒▒▒█
Within Two Months: 16 ( 2.5%) │░░░░█
Within Four Months: 12 ( 1.8%) │▓▓▓█
Within Six Months: 10 ( 1.5%) │▒▒█
Within Nine Months: 4 ( 0.6%) │█
Within Two Years: 4 ( 0.6%) │█
Within Three Years: 1 ( 0.2%) │
Within One Year: 1 ( 0.2%) │
Example:
CL-PRINT C:\PCB\MAIN\CALLER /Q,/S,"Last On: @D (@T)"
or
CL-PRINT C:\PCB\MAIN\CALLER /Q,/Z,/S,"Last On: @D (@T) for @M Minute(s)"
or
CL-PRINT C:\PCB\MAIN\CALLER "/Q/Z/SLast On: @D (@T) for @M Minute(s) - #@#"
This example can be run in your $$LOGON.BAT
NOTE: SHARE must be loaded if you intend to write to the CALLER log during
$$LOGON.BAT or $$LOGON.BAT as PCBoard has the file open and has written
entries to it prior to calling the batch files. If SHARE is not loaded
you will write over the top of the entries PCBoard has made. Also,
this can only be done on Network verisons /E & /U and you CAN NOT
use it on /D or /S versions as PCBoard has the USERS file open in
DENY READ/WRITE on these versions, so the file can not be opened by
CL-PRINT to obtain the information desired.
22. Changed files downloaded report to not generate an ANSI sequence when
there is no change in color.
23. Added more support for Southern Style & Three Stooges Language file
entries in CALLERS log.
24. Added CATCHALLREPORT Variable to log text lines passing thru the
Catchall routine to assist in changing the line parsing routines.
25. Added MAIL Door support. QMail, MarkMail & Cam-Mail entries are all
recognized and a seperate report for each Mail Door is supported.
All three reports are the same and the titles can be changed to
anything so if it works for other mail doors you now have a report.
(If it does'nt work, send some sample caller log entries to me and
I will try to add support, I might add control over which entries
are printed so those which are not applicable to a particular door
can be skipped).
26. Added support for a few junk entries (like CALLER NUMBER:) to speed up
report by recognizing the entry sooner. And to support imbedding the
Language number in Caller Number as well. (See item #16 above)
27. Added support and a report for a User Definable Door. (Door U / Y8)
Text to be scanned for may be defined (up to 20 variables) and
The Text to be used in the Report may be defined. Undefined variables
will not be scanned for or reported. Special handling is defined for
entries that would indicate the Door logged the caller off, and
entries which should not be counted if the Door logged the User off.
(this allows for not counting CARRIER LOST as a User Hang up if it
was the door that dropped carrier.) Also printing '...' or blank
entries in the report to allow lining up report when skipping variables
or using an odd number of variables. Count of times Door used and
logging off in door and Time Spent in Door are always reported for
the Door, so no special handling for this is needed.
28. Added changes from CAL14S22.ZIP & CAL14S23.ZIP to this release.
29. Added Message Statistic '#' Report.
-= Message Statistics =-
Messages Left.......... x MailDoor Messages...... x
Via PCBoard..... xx.x% Via Mail Doors.. xx.x%
Comments Left........ x Net MAIL Messages.... x
Via COMMENT..... xx.x% Via Mail Import. xx.x%
Messages Moved....... x Net MAIL Executed.... x
Messages Copied...... x Mail Packets DLed.... x
Messages Restored.... x Aborted. x
Messages Deleted..... x Reply Packets Uled... x
Message Entry Aborted.. x Aborted. x
Message Base Packed.... x No Room for text....... x
30. Added SECLABEL variable to define text to be added to Security Level
reports, and NOSECLABEL variable to define text for no level.
31. Corrected Door timing routines to properly time a Door when User
Logged off in Door and a Back From Dos entry did not exist. If
you Run PCBVerify (or some other Door from your InstaReg batch
file, instead of returning to the BBS first, you can use CL-PRINT
to insert a line:
Opened Door (VERIFY) at HH:MM Via InstaReg
ie.
CL-PRINT C:\PCB\MAIN\CALLER /Q,/S,"Opened Door (VERIFY) at /T Via InstaReg"
This will cause CALLS to stop timing the InstaReg Door and start
timing the new Door (ie. VERIFY) and accumlate the information on
the proper Door.
32. Changed report format for many of the Doors to make them consistent
with one another and to add a couple of entries.
33. Added seperate reports for Hangups in Board & in Doors.
34. Added support for PCBVerify 4.0 message changes and minor changes to
Report for PCBVerify (VERIFY & CALLBACK)
35. Removed GENERIC & DEFDOORTITLE and replaced with REPORTTITLE to define
label for any of the report sections
36. Added Report control characters for REPORTS definition
Z - insert a blank line . - do nothing character
@ - insert a @MORE@ prompt $ - insert a @PAUSE@ prompt
% - insert a @WAIT@ prompt * - insert a @CLS@
if * is first character then a @CLS@ (or ANSI clear screen) will be
sent at the beginning of bulletin.
37. Added REPORTACTION variable which can be defined with any of the above
characters. These characters will be used to send strings after EVERY
report section. If any of the above characters are included after a
report directly in REPORTS, then the REPORTACTION will not be sent after
that report allowing override of REPORTACTION to combine a couple of the
shorter reports to a single screen.
38. Added a SHORTENGRAPH variable to the .CNF file that will cause the
Hourly Usage graph to start at the highest used percentage instead
of at 100% if desired. If a numeric value is used (0 to 100 by 5's
then that will be the starting point if the highest percentage is
below that). ie if the highest used percentage was 40 then the graph
would start at NO = 100%, YES = 40%, 60 = 60%, 20 = 40%.
39. Added a REFUSEDREG variable that combines the Non-Registered value to
the Refused to Register value in the report. When running your board
to allow Users to remain on (a non-zero security level assigned to
those who refuse to register), those Users will show up as Non-Registered
Users and only those who give a partial name and then refuse to give a
full name will show up as Refused to Register. If REFUSEDREG is set to
YES, then both will be combined and reported under Refused to Register
(although Non-Registered will still be reported). If you set a zero
security level to those who refuse to register, there shoud be No
Non-Registered Users reported as PCBoard kicks them off and issues the
ACCESS DENIED - REFUSED TO REGISTER to the callers log, and I don't think
will ever use the REFUSED TO REGISTER entry. I had the two backwards in
previous releases, so some confusion existed.
40. Added LANGUAGE n Text variables to allow defining the name of the
Languages instead of just the number as before. You can include
the number in the text as in the example .CNF file. If not defined
they now default to 'Language 1' etc....
41. Added REPORTEXCLUDE which causes the graph items not to be accumulated
which can shorten the SAVE file considerably if there are items you
don't use in your report. The allowable entries are (CEFLOPQRUVWXY!=^-)
and any other entries will just be ignored.
42. Added report for User Uploads (and a MAXUL setting).
43. Added report for Callers Hanging Up (and a MAXHANGUP setting)
44. Changed the DoorTime reports to HH:MM format from Minutes.
45. Changed all reports to allow for an extra digit in reports as some
values were exceeding columns when accumulating data for a full year.
46. A few reorganizations in the code as it was starting to exceed code
segment limitations. (no external appearence changes). Moved some
of the conversion routines into a seperate UNIT.
47. Color of 'Period covered:' text changed from BLUE to CYAN for better
readability on most systems.
48. Well, leap year came around and showed me another problem. Fixed the
month to day calculations to account for leap year. This should keep
things correct for awhile.
49. Added an EXCLUDEUSER which functions like EXCLUDENAME except it will
allow excluding a list of Users from the Message Left, Upload &
Caller Hanging Up reports.
50. Fixed UserName routine to pickup users with more then two names (ie.
those users who use middle initials, etc...). Name now ends two chars
before the '(' in the baud rate.
51. Added HEADER variable to define a HeaderFile to be read and written to
the report prior to writing the report. If you include a '*' as the
first character of REPORTS as indicated in item 36 above, then the
@CLS@ (or <ESC>[2J) will be written before the HeaderFile data. Of course
you could just include this @CLS@ in your header file text. If you use
the ANSI output (or BOTH) then a 'G' will be added to the filename
given in HEADER and that will be used for the 'G' version of the output.
52. Found a small problem in the RingFilter routine that allowed extra
characters to be allowed into the report. Also forgot to add the
entry to the sample .CNF file. (see item 6 about Ringfilter)
53. Added EXCLUDEDOOR to allow excluding door names from reports. Up to
50 door names are provided for. Added NONDOORNAME to allow defining
the label used when reporting excluded doors. All excluded doors are
counted and timed under this label and if the label is set to a blank
the they will not be reported at all (or added to the save file).
54. Added Caller ID '!' Report.
-= Caller ID Statistics =-
Local Call ID: 6 (37.5%) │░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░█
Outside Area: 4 (25.0%) │▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓█
Private Num: 2 (12.5%) │▓▓▓▓▓▓█
ID Error: 2 (12.5%) │▒▒▒▒▒▒█
Long Dist ID: 2 (12.5%) │░░░░░░█
The Long Dist ID will probably not show up as most Caller ID services do
not yet show calls from outside the local calling area, but provisions
have been made just in case the services are expanded on. Most long
distance calls will show up under Outside Area heading.
The report requires that an entry be added to the CALLER log file in the
format:
CallerID: MM/DD HH:MM (AAA)EEE-NNNN G
CallerID: MM/DD HH:MM OUTSIDE call G
CallerID: MM/DD HH:MM PRIVATE call G
CallerID: MM/DD HH:MM E B
which should be compatible with most Caller ID services, if you have a
different format that needs support, get me a message with the format
and I will add support for it.
55. Added ITEMLEN variable. This controls the length that will be used of a
graph item. This allows reducing the wasted space on the shorter reports
and increasing the length of the graph bars themselves. It also allows
increasing the defaults so the entire User Name would show if one exceeds
the 20 character limit normally set in CALLS.
56. Added ITEMMAX variable. This controls the maximum length that will be used
of a graph item when an ITEMLEN of -1 is specified for a report.
57. Added CONNECTFILTER variable. Some modems return much longer Connect
strings and CALLS truncates the string making it less readable. Setting
CONNECTFILTER to ON causes the word CONNECT to be eliminated from the
string, allowing more room for useful text. If the string contains only
the word CONNECT then it will not be removed. Also improved routine to
remove the word CARRIER if both CARRIER and CONNECT are present and to
remove the CONNECT rate as well as the word CONNECT when CARRIER is
also present.
58. Changed message statistics report to include percentages for COMMENTS and
Net Mail messages. Also stopped adding Net Mail messages into the count of
messages left via PCBoard. Changed message reporting in System Statistics
to show Total of all messages and the four sub-totals.
59. Added ability to Define an EXCLUDEUSER as a NetUser by including an
'*' as FIRST character of UserName. This will cause messages left by
this User to count as Net Mail instead of Mail Door messages. If NetUser
is flagged and a message is left via PCBoard instead of a Door then the
User Name will NOT be excluded and it will not count as Net Mail.
Messages left will still show under Door report.
60. Found Confernence names limited to first characters of A-Z and 0-9.
Removed restrictions altogether.
61. Added support for KMail & Net Mail Doors. All Net Mail Door messages count
as Net Mail and messages will not be counted as from User in the Top
User Message section without need for including User Name via EXCLUDEUSER.
Messages left will still show under Door report.
62. Changed MarkMail message counting. Now adds conference totals on each
message as before but does not add these to Door totals for MarkMail.
Adds total from 'Inserted Messages: xxx Dupes Killed: xxx' line
so it will work with Short or Long logging format of MarkMail.
63. Added NODELIST parameter to allow specifying the order of processing the
CALLER logs for multi-node. You may arrange the nodes processed in any
order you wish by specifing the node numbers in this list seperated by
spaces. Set NODES to the number of nodes you place in the list. This
means on a 9 Node setup you could specify NODES 5 and NODELIST 6 7 2 4 1
and only those 5 nodes would be reported on. If no list is provided then
all nodes from 1 to NODES will be scanned as before.
64. Found CALLS could still write a blank line for a User name during one
of the reports into the CALLS.SAV which would then produce an error when
an attempt was made to re-read the file. Fixed this for good (I hope).
65. Expanded the Last called report to include 2,3,4 & 5 days instead of
grouping them into the 'within one week'.
66. Changed File pointer to longint allowing proper reading of larger files.
67. Added TextatUrec to narrow down text match to text beginning at seventh
character, instead of anywhere as in TextinUrec which sould stop some
conferences with the word MODEM in them from counting as CONNECT messages
and proabably some other misc. matches from occurring.
68. Fixed openfile procedure to properly skip a CALLER file that does not
exist rather than stopping with an error.
69. Found a problem when a line of 62 '-' is written to the log (by what I
don't know) as a '-' in the 3rd position is an indication of a caller
logging on or off and was used to track time. Made the code check also
in postion 13 for a ':' to verify the entry.
70. Added EXCLUDECONFERENCE and EXCLUDESECLEVEL to filter out conferences
and User Security Levels from reports.
71. Found a problem with PCBVerify MODEM RETURNED statements causing junk
entries 'hh:mm)' in the Connect Report if the door was executed under
an undefined name or as part of InstaReg, etc. Modified the parsing
routine to reject these entries.
72. Added SWOP & VOTER PLUS Door reports. Changed several of the text
entries searched for to enable better detection of a couple of other
language files being used.
73. Added DOORJUNKREPORT to control writing Junk, Catchall, and Unknown
lines to file while in a Door. If not in a Door then JUNKREPORT,
CATCHALLREPORT and UNKNOWNREPORT control the writing of the lines.
74. Added UNKNOWNDOORREPORT to control writing all lines of Door activity
to UNKNOWN.TXT file if door is not one of the doors known to CALLS.
Also added KNOWNDOORS to control writing of Door lines to UNKNOWN.TXT
when UNKOWNDOORREPORT is set to YES, Doors listed will not be written.
75. Broke up System Statistics and added File Transfer Statistics '+' Report
instead. Added Upload Credit report and several other items to reports.

76. Added REPORTTEXT to allow changing the text on the fixed portion of the
reports. Changed structure of program to accommodate this.
77. Added changes from CAL14S24.ZIP to this release as follows:
Added logic to strip the leading 'CONNECT' or 'CARRIER' from the connect
types report. (Already had this, controlled by CONNECTFILTER, but added
a CONNECTFILTER NEW to perform the new routine added to 14S24 instead.)
Added logic to count opening chat doors as a "node chat".
(If the word CHAT appears in name of the Door then it is counted as a
Node Chat, also Added CHATDOOR to allow listing Chat Doors, and if the
door is one in the list then it counts as a Node Chat and time spent in
the Door counts as Node Chat Time as well as Time Spent in Door.)
Added logic to count all (Local) connect types as sysop local sessions.
(Added ALL_LOCAL option to control this as I didn't like the idea myself.)
Added SUBTITLE option to allow a variable subtitle to be included in
each report. (This prints after Systems Statistics Title on Report A.)
Added PEAK AUTO option to automatically report the top 6 hours as the
peak hours of the day. (added additional allowance for a numeric value
after AUTO to determine the number of hours to flag as peak.)
78. Added UPLOADFAILED to control Verificaton Failed reducing Upload Count
and/or User Upload Count. This allows removing report credit for uploads
when a file fails verification.
79. Added support for additional languages. Support now includes Southern,
Three Stooges, Star Trek, Canadian, Australian, Arnold Schwarzenneger,
Goverment-ese, Jive & Abusive.
80. Fixed Julian Date calculation causing miscalculation of days in use (and
hours in use). I think I finally have a routine that works (I didn't
write the first one).
81. Added support for @Xnn code at start of text. CALLS now skips the color
code before parsing the line. Some language file modifications have a
color code (although I don't know why when there is a single value in
the PCBTEXT entry that determines the color of the prompt.)
82. Added entries to Voter Plus Door, MailDoor & Security Reports.
83. Added PCBPage & Emergency Pager Door Report.
84. Added CONNECTFILTER ALL option to condense PROT: & COMP: messages to
'/'. Under PROT: the word NONE is removed and ALT is changed to MNP
and LAP-M is changed to V42. Under COMP: the word NONE and CLASS are
removed and V.42BIS is changed to 'B'. All Spaces are then stripped
from the string. This should help reduce the number of different
Connect messages in the report by combining entries from multiple nodes
when different brand modems are in use and the report messages are
different. As I see more message reported to me by Sysops, I will
tailor these routines to get as much consistency as possible.
85. Added CONNECTFILTER HST option to condense HST type messages by removing
ARQ, V32 and NONE and changing HST/HST to just HST. LAPM is changed to
V42 and LAPM/V42BIS is changed to V42B.
If you use different brands of modems on different nodes, you can use a
CONNECTFILTER HST and CONNECTFILTER ALL to enable both filters.
86. Added BAUDFILTER to allow removing 'E' from Baud Rates to combine such
rates as 14400 and 14400E instead of reporting seperately.
87. Found if last Node CALLER file was missing the Usage hours get messed up
and negative idle, over 100% usage and other errors occur.
