NetStats.Pas and NetStats.Exe
                         =============================

TurboPASCAL 5.00 program written by Justin Marquez, Jr. and placed into the
Public Domain for all to freely do what they will with it. There are no
restrictions placed on distribution or use of this code and program. There is
no support given, NOR ANY WARRANTY OF ANY TYPE IMPLIED. It is what it is.

Input Files Required:
=====================
A FidoNet "St. Louis Format" nodelist or fragment thereof.

OutPut Files Generated:
=======================
NetStats.Out = a text file showing various statistics about the input
nodelist file's contents.

USAGE:
======

NETSTATS <filename>

where <filename> is replaced with a DOS-type filename or simply the
file's "first name". The program will search through all files with that
first name (or wildcard) for the file which:

        - has numbers in the .### part of the name (name Extension)
        - and has the latest time/date stamp

If you do NOT want it to search for the latest file, do not add anything
after the program (i.e., no parameters):

NETSTATS

and you'll be prompted for a complete filename.


The report generated shows "real" nodes (i.e., NOT Admin, or Down, or Hold, or
Pvt ) for all categories except those which are designed to show non-real
nodes. The percents shown are also based on division by the "real" node count.

Output Data File
================

        The program outputs a data file with the same data as is in the
        regular print report file. The data file is COMMA-DELIMTED
        format, with ASCII strings enclosed in double quotes. This
        format may be "imported" into a number of spreadsheets and
        databases. It may also be easily read by a BASIC program as
        well.  Here is  list of the output data items in the order in
        which they appear in the file. (Note that each run of the
        program produces ONE LINE which is APPENDED to the data file):

   FKb          File Size, in KBytes (Bytes/1024)
   FMonth       File Date: MONTH
   FDay         File Date: DAY
   FYear        File Date: YEAR
   IfnaList     FILE NAME used as input
   i            Number of "real nodes"
   NonComments  Number of Non-Comment lines in the list
   ZoneCount    Zones
   RegionCount  Regions
   HostCount    Hosts (and therefore, NETS)
   HubCount     HUBs in those nets
   DownCount    How many nodes are marked "Down"
   PvtCount     How many nodes are marked "Pvt"
   HoldCount    How many nodes are marked "Hold"
   AdminOVHD    Number of Administrative nodes (Zone, Region, Host, Hub)
   Baud9600     How many "9600 baud flags" there are (Yes, yes, BPS ...)
