NAME CallInfo SYNOPSIS CallInfo [?] [-lcnwdt] [logfile [ratefile]] DESCRIPTION CallInfo is a tool for use with NComm V1.8 or later, made by Torkel Lodberg. It uses two files as input, NComm.log and CallInfo.rate. NComm.log is the logfile put together by NComm. CallInfo.rate is a file you may edit with an editor and it must contain the different callrates and other important information. A sample file is included in this package, it shouldn't be too difficult to understand. If CallInfo is started with one or more filenames not specified, it will first look for the files in the current directory, and then look for files in the NComm: directory. CallInfo presents an estimated phonebill based on the input from the two files. By choosing one of the many options available, CallInfo may also present a lot of statistical information, like on what time of the day and which day of the week you are usually calling. It may display a "top twenty" so that you know which boards you are usually calling. Find out about the rest yourself... CallInfo has the following options: [l] - Callinfo will ask you for a starting and ending date, used by CallInfo to check when to start and stop adding calls to the bill. Only the bill and the price calculations are changed, the other statistics are still based on *all* entries. [c] - CallInfo will show calculations for each entry. [n] - using 'CallInfo' without this option will make the first counter last 1.5 times the normal length. This will make the best possible match if your logfile consists of many entries. However, if you want to disable this feature and instead make a "worst match", this can be done by choosing this option. CallInfo will then always use the normal counterlength. [w] - CallInfo will make a graph displaying how the calls are dispersed on the different weekdays. [d] - CallInfo will make a graph displaying how the calls are dispersed on the different hours of a day. [t] - CallInfo will display a list of the top twenty boards and a lot of information for each board, like how much time and money you have been spending on each board. You can redirect the output from this program by entering "CallInfo >name". 'Name' has to be a valid AmigaDOS file or device name. Please observe; CallInfo uses the following dateformat: "MMM DD YYYY". "Nov 23 1988" is an example of a valid date format. The program can also be started from Workbench, simply click on the icon.

If I receive any contributions, they will probably make me want to make many more programs! IMPORTANT I am not economical responsible if any calculations made by this program are wrong. This program is only meant to give you an estimate of what your next phone bill will be! When you specify the prices in CallInfo.rate, remember to include the VAT! Or you will get a chock when the next bill arrives... When entering phonenumbers in the NComm phonebook, enter them without spaces so that CallInfo can recognize them. If your logfile consists of more than 100 boardnames, the toptwenty list made by CallInfo might not be correct.
