XStat V1.13 Documentation
=========================

Program and documentation are (C) Copyright 1992,1993 by Jürgen Weinelt.

IMPORT StdDisclaimer; (* in short: use it at your own risk *)
XStat was carefully tested, but there's certainly plenty of room for bugs.

XStat V1.13 is Freeware, non-commercial distribution is o.k. as long as
the following conditions are met:

  * Source, executable and documentation must be distributed together
    (XStat.mod, XStat, XStat.data, XStat.doc, XStat.dok and Make),
    and these files must be intact (you're not allowed to make changes).
    You're NOT allowed to add files to the archive.

  * This program may be included on PD/freeware CDs if I am allowed
    to order one of those CDs at 50% off the retail price (or cheaper :).
    Of course a free copy of the CD would be even nicer...

    Exception: Fred Fish has UNCONDITIONAL permission to add this
    to his library, no matter if he's distributing it on floppy disk
    or on CD.



XStat requires AmigaOS V37 or later (that's 2.04 or later).



Purpose
=======
XStat extracts statistic information from the Xferstat file created
by some UUCICOs (tested with the SWB variant). The most important
information XStat offers to you is the phone cost for a certain number
of connects.
