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/Radius/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.
