You want the list of todays callers logged? Also, does your log not contain 
info like this:
# 14 Apr 16:44:50 MAX  Msg to Larry Monte, area Local.1, #200
+ 14 Apr 16:44:55 MAX  Dwayne MacInnes off-line. Calls=2, Len=1, Today=19
: 14 Apr 16:44:55 MAX  End, v3.01 (5)
If your logs don't include the Msg line, check MAX.CTL and make sure that 
your LOG MODE is set to TRACE, it will then include the Msg info you want.

Yup, no problem.

True, with StarWho, you only need to pass the program a specified activity in 
a MEC file or menu option link.

You can never have enough backups. My nightly maint ZIPs up all my BBS dirs 
and stores them on my E: drive, and once a week, I manually backup to floppy. 
Haven't lost a piece of information yet.
