   Title  : WCSAP Scoring System   
   Version: 2.07   
   Date   : 01/14/06 04:58 pm   
      
   -------------   
   Introduction:   
   -------------   
      
   A new WCSAP scoring system was added to WCSAPFILTER.TXT filter   
   processing.   
      
   It works like this:   
      
   The scoring system based on using +/- numbers for your ACCEPT/REJECT   
   rules.   
      
   For example, suppose you have these three reject rules:   
      
      reject if condition1   
      reject if condition2   
      reject if condition3   
      
   Since WCSAP reads the rules from the TOP of the wcsapfilter.txt file, if   
   the first condition fails, then no more reading is done and the result   
   is a reject based on condition1.   
      
   The above is equivalent to:   
      
      reject if condition1 or condition2 or condition3   
      
   This means any condition will cause a reject.   
      
   If you wanted to use all three conditions to create a reject, then you   
   could a combined the conditions with an AND operator:   
      
      reject if condition1 and condition2 and condition3   
      
   This means all 3 conditions must be met to create a reject.   
      
   But what if you wanted to put a weight on a certain condition?   
      
   What if you only wanted a reject if 2 of 3 conditions failed?   
      
   In this case, this is where the new scoring system will help prepare   
   this:   
      
      ; Test and score three conditions   
      score -1 if condition1   
      score -1 if condition2   
      score -1 if condition3   
      
   The SCORE command is accumulative which means WCSAP will remember the   
   current score (which begins at zero) and you would use the SCORE command   
   to add or subject from the current score.   
      
   Then you would use the %SCORE% macro within a REJECT/ACCEPT if condition   
   to test the current score against a value you believe best represents   
   the behavior you seek, for example:   
      
      ; Reject if the score is less or equal to -2.   
      reject if %SCORE% LTE -2   
      
   -----------------------   
   WCSAP Scoring Commands:   
   -----------------------   
      
   SetScore    
      
      Set the current score.  The current always starts at zero.   
      You can also use this to set it at any value you want or   
      to reset it to zero.   
      
      
   Score  if condition   
      
      Perform a if condition, if the condition passes (ends up being   
      true), then add the score value to the current total score.   
      
   %SCORE%   
      
      %SCORE% is a macro representing the current total score. You   
      you can use it with a ACCEPT or REJECT command to test the   
      current score.
