SYNOPSIS

   CallInfo [?] [-lcnwdt] [logfile [ratefile]]

DESCRIPTION

   CallInfo  is  a  tool for use with NComm V1.9, 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 display 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 create  a  graph  displaying  how  the  calls are
         dispersed on the different weekdays.

   [d] - CallInfo  will create  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.

VERSION

   1.3 / 04-Mar-90.  Comments, suggestions and bug reports are welcome!

   This  version  contains  a few bugfixes.  The 'dayprice' and 'daytime'
   values  should  now be correct, as well as the total time online.  The
   program  now  displays  the  average  number  of calls a day, and text
   output  is  a  little  faster...  The program has been recompiled and
   optimized with Lattice  C 5.05.

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.
