QANALYST (v2.0) by Barn Owl Software            REGISTRATION ($15.00)


(Abstracted from program documentation)...

Qanalyst will run on an IBM PC, XT, AT, PS/2, or compatible computer.
You must use DOS 2.0 or better and have at least 190k of free memory.

Qanalyst begins when  you enter "QANALYST" at the  DOS prompt.  There
are also quite a few options you can use to alter the way the program
runs, but don't  worry.  Some options are for  advanced concepts, and
some may not even apply to you.

    cfg-file Qanalyst configuration  filename.    Qanalyst  looks for
             QANALYST.CFG,  but this option lets you specify  another
             name.  You can also specify a path if you wish.

    /8       Toggle 8x8  font.  This option toggles the EGA/VGA "8x8"
             font to provide more than 25 lines on a screen.  It only
             works if an EGA or VGA monitor is present.

    /B       Batch file  execution.  Qanalyst asks you to confirm the
             current configuration before  doing anything else.  This
             option orders the program to  use  a  configuration file
             as-is.  Note:  This options requires a cfg-file name, or
             QANALYST.CFG  must be available where Qanalyst can  find
             it (see page 11).

    /BL      Last-call analysis.  Reports cover  only  the  last call
             you made.  This  option  implies  batch  file execution.
             See appendix section C.2 for further details.

    /BS[ph#] Single-number  analysis.  Reports cover only a  specific
             telephone number you declare.  This option implies batch
             file execution.  See appendix  section  C.2  for further
             details.

    /E       Ignore EMS.  Qanalyst will use expanded (LIM EMS) memory
             if  there is enough available to store  a  copy  of  its
             overlay file.  This command tells Qanalyst to ignore EMS
             memory.

    /F[date][:nnn]
             Default "From" date.  Qanalyst normally  uses  the first
             date  in  each  log file as the default "From:" date for
             analysis and maintenance.  This option lets  you specify
             a different date.  It's  extremely  useful  with  the /B
             command-line option because it  lets  you  do batch-mode
             work on specific  dates  in  a  log file.  The syntax is
             "/Fxx-xx-xx".  If you  don't  specify  a  date, Qanalyst
             will  use  today's  date.    ...You can also  specify  a
             variable /T value  from  the /F parameter by including a
             ":nnn" at the end.  This tells Qanalyst you want  to set
             the default "To:" date  to  be  nnn  days forward of the
             "From:" date.   (See  the  /B  option if you just want a
             report on the last call you made.)

    /I       Ignore Qanalyst configuration files.  Qanalyst is geared
             to hunt for  its  configuration file.  This option tells
             the program to use its  internal defaults.  Note: The /B
             and /I options are mutually exclusive.

    /N       Noiseless operation.  This  option  toggles  the program
             into total silence at startup.

    /T[date][:nnn]
             Default "To" date.  Qanalyst normally uses the last date
             in each log file as  the default "To:" date for analysis
             & maintenance.  This option lets you specify a different
             date.  It's extremely useful  with  the  /B command-line
             option  because  it  lets  you  do  batch-mode  work  on
             specific  dates  in  a   log   file.     The  syntax  is
             "/Txx-xx-xx".  ...You can  also  specify  a  variable /F
             value from the /T parameter by including a ":nnn" at the
             end.    This  tells Qanalyst you want to set the default
             "From:"  date  to  be nnn days back from the "To:" date.
             (See the /B option if you just want a report on the last
             call you made.)
                             - - - 
         Syntax: You must put a  space between each option.  Qanalyst
    accepts parameters in any  order.   And, you may use "-x" instead
    of "/x" if you wish.
         See appendix C for visual aids on starting  Qanalyst  at the
    DOS prompt.
                             - - - 
Qanalyst searches for QMODEM.CNF, the Qmodem configuration file, like
it searches for the Qanalyst  configuration file.  If found, Qanalyst
will use Qmodem's screen colors to make you feel a bit more "at home"
with  the  program.   Qanalyst  uses the  log  and  phone-rate  files
described in  the configuration file.  If  it finds no such  file, it
will search the  default directory for a phone-rate  data file called
QANALYST.PRF and  a Qmodem log  file called SESSION.LOG  (or whatever
you called it in the QMODEM.CNF file).
