 ->  RS> None of my BBS callers are being recorded on the status screen

 -> Rick, check out BTUTIL with the parm GETHIST and then the additional
 -> parm for your type of BBS. You'll need to run BTUTIL GETHIST XXXX in
 -> your batch file after the BBS caller exits.

 RS> So XE6 takes this info. from files from the BBSs it's running with?

Yes, that does seem to be the case.

 RS> I ran the Btutil32.exe GETHIST command, but it didn't list my BBS
 RS> type,(Wildcat 5,(WinServer).

If Wildcat 5 has a LASTCALL.BBS file, you might try using the RA BBS
type. XE5 had the C source for GETHIST distributed with it and after
looking at it, it would seem that the RA parm might work for any
system that uses a LASTCALL.BBS file. I'm sure someone on the XE
team could confirm or deny if this is still the case.

 RS> I thought maybe this info. came from
 RS> binkley's log file, determining from that, that it was a BBS caller,

If the RA mode doesn't work for you, you might want to mention that
possibility to the XE team.


Later,
Mike
