Tickle File Report -  Version 1.0
Written by Dan Shore - SysOp - The Shoreline BBS
Released January, 16, 1995


1.  What is "Tickle File" Report?
    -----------------------------

This little program is a "companion utility" to use with the "Tickle
File" suite of products.  This program will read the database and report
on each user in the database.  The report will tell you if the user has
files in the database (with a list of the filenames and descriptions) or
if they do not have files in the database.  The name of this file will
be called TKLREPRT.LOG and will reside in the same directory as the .PPE

  Here is a sample of what the report looks like:


  ----------------------------------------------------------------------
  Joe Username has -* NO FILES *- in their database
  ----------------------------------------------------------------------
  Jim Username has these files in their database:

   1.  SNOOP330.ZIP  snooperutil      2.  CONF705E.ZIP  configfile
   3.  LACE13.ZIP    confile2         4.  ORG300.ZIP    defrgger
   5.  PROMPTS.ZIP   prompts
  ----------------------------------------------------------------------


At the end of the program, a summary of statistics for the database
will be shown.  Here is a sample of what it will look like:

          **************************************************

                'Tickle File' Statistics Summary Report


                   Total Users in Database : 123
                   Total Files in Database : 98
                Files Per User in Database : 0.796748

          **************************************************


NOTE:  The TKLREPRT.LOG file will be written to in APPEND mode.  This
       means that each time you run a report, it will be appended to
       the previous report.  If you wish a seperate report, you will
       have to delete the TKLREPRT.LOG file prior to running REPORT.


2.  Registration
    ------------

    Report is now FREE.  If you really like what we have done with this
    program consider sending a donation of say $5 - $10 to "spur" me on
    to write more great programs....

    But usually when something is FREE, people do not feel they have to
    send anything....And this is correct...you do not...but :) getting
    some donations really helps when I consider writing more utilities
    for PCBoard SysOps.
