DESCRIPTION

    `phonebill' is, simply said, a log file analyzer. What it basically
    does is scan log file(s) generated by a terminal program or a mailer,
    extract all information about calls you have made by using your modem,
    and store this in its own (short) format. After extracting the calls
    `phonebill' can generate various reports in which you can find
    information on duration and costs of the calls.

    Here is a small list of the main features:

     * Very flexible user-configurable rates, supporting exceptions for
       certain days and dates.

     * User-configurable log scanners: `phonebill' by default supports
       various log files, but for any log file that is not supported the
       user is able to create a scanner. The following is a list of log
       files that are already supported:
          * AmiTel
          * AutoPilot
          * CyberPager
          * DreamTerm
          * GPFax
          * ISDN Master Telephone log
          * JamMail
          * JrComm
          * MagiCall
          * MicroDot
          * Multifax (both v2.0 and Multifax professional)
          * NComm
          * Off-line Amiga
          * Plink
          * Term action log and Term call log
          * Terminus
          * TheAnswer
          * TKR-BTX
          * Trapdoor
          * Trapfax
          * UUCP TimeLog
          * XenoLink
          * ZeeTerm

     * Log files can be automatically truncated if their size exceeds the
       maximum size.

     * Generates miscellaneous reports: statistics, total costs, predicted
       costs ...

     * Context-sensitive online help.

     * Supports new 3.0 features (new look menus, ...).

     * Nice `Amiga User Interface Style Guide' conformant user interface.

     * Supports `traplist.library'.

NEW FEATURES

    The following is a list of the most significant changes:

     * Added support for Plink and ZeeTerm.
     
     * The program can be opened on a public screen.

     * Added option to process log files on startup.

     * Added a new truncating option called "Preserve blocks". If this
       option is enabled the log file will be truncated at the position
       of an empty line seperator.

     * Monetary values are now displayed according to the current locale
       settings.

     * Several bug fixes and other changes.
