Short: The ultimate Spot stats generator! Author: pnuzzo@zenmail.co.uk Uploader: pnuzzo zenmail co uk Type: comm/fido Version: 1.0 Requires: Registered Spot V1.3a Architecture: m68k-amigaos Distribution: Freely distributable MegaStat is a new statistic generator for use with the Spot Fidonet pointing program. MegaStat is a cross between EchoStat by Phil O'Malley and AreaStat by Brian Jacobson, except with many more features added. MegaStat Features o MegaStat has two ways of message sorting, one where by Spot saves out every message, gaining more information (Average message size, quote ratios etc.) but lacks in speed. Alternatively MegaStat just scans the header is much faster! o Tables produced include: * Writer Table * Receiver Table * Quote Blacklist Table * Subjects Table * Tearline Table * Node Traffic Table * Hourly Usage Graph * Daily Usage Graph o Ability to disable/enable any of the tables via config or on every use of the script. o Period of message scan for inclusion in the stat tables can be selected from pre-defined menus (Week/Fortnight/Month), alternatively the user can define start and finish dates, or select for ALL the message to be processed. o "Multiple" stats allow you to select more than one area, all treated as single area and a MegaStat message produced for each one. Handy for those that produce stats for more than one area! o "Joint" stats allow you to select more than one area and treat all the messages in these areas as one area (unlike the Multiple Stat option) and provide a large combined stat message. o Usenet ":" quoting is treated identical to normal Fidonet standard quoting (">"). o Has extensive command line options, making automation easy. Want to use a cron program to create large stats for your areas while in bed? MegaStat allows you to do this with no user intervention at all! o Logs are produced as a file and/or a message in Spot depending on user preference. Use these to check if your stat went according to how you wanted it, if you weren't there. o Config file for ease of use and full automation of certain aspects of MegaStat. o Plus many other advantages over other scripts such as EchoStat and AreaStat...
