Hello everybody!   
      
      Just wanted to drop in and let everyone know that I've started work on a   
   couple of BBS related software projects. If anyone's interested, that is.   
   [grin]   
      
      The first one is called Wycker as in "All In One Basket (A Wicker Basket)",   
   pretty kewl name, eh? [grin] Anyways, it is designed to replace ABLOG software   
   that, much like most everything else these days, became abandonware. ABLOG,   
   for those who don't know, is a Win32 commandline program to parse the Argus   
   FTN Mailer logs and create Daily, Weekly and Monthly stats. While it works,   
   it's to limited, in my not so humble opinion. Wycker will do the same thing   
   for Argus/Radius/Taurus/Watergate logs but with a little more.  Here is its   
   functionalities:   
      
            1) Parse Argus/Radius/Taurus/Trapgate logs.   
            2) Create bulletins for posting to local message bases or echomail.   
            3) Archive those logs to preserve disk space in a date/time   
   hierarchical format.   
            4) Display Mailer stats on the Wycker Console.   
            5) Parse Allfix logs.   
            6) Create bulletins for posting to local message bases or echomail.   
            7) Archive those logs to preserve disk space in a date/time   
   hierarchical format.   
            8) Display Allfix stats on the Wycker Console.   
            9) Parse Synchronet BBS logs.   
           10) Create bulletins for posting to local message bases or echomail.   
           11) Archive those logs to preserve disk space in a date/time   
   hierarchical format.   
           12) Display Synchronet BBS stats on the Wycker Console.   
      
      Those are the specs to start. If there are other logs that would be   
   beneficial to Parse, Generate and Archive, if I am provided a sample of those   
   logs I will gladly add them to Wycker. Wycker is written in Pascal and is a   
   Win32 Console app and will be designed to run continously to display the stats   
   and to archive logs at a predetermined time.   
      
      The second one is a fork of Taurus (Or Trapgate, depending on the viability   
   of the codebase) called Northwind. Northwind is a fork of one of the two   
   listed and the first release will be just a rebrand of whatever codebase I   
   pick. Going forwrad we'll add new functionality and operations to it as   
   needed. Northwind is a Win32 console program, just as Argus/Radi   
   s/Taurus/Trapgate is now.   
      
      Please feel free to join my BBS Split Infnity (infinity.synchro.net), which   
   is where support and discussions will take place.
