Hello,

I was wondering if it is possible the add the callnumber of the user in the
callers.dat file. When I read the number from the userfile I get the most up to
date amount of calls and not the amount for that specific call.

Secondly, I couldn't find a logoff time or total amount of time for a specific
call.

Gtx!

You can find this information on the user's individual user record if you want
to get it.

I could possibly add it to callers.dat as well but that number will not stay
accurate. In other words it would only show their total calls to the BBS
system at the time it was added into the callers.dat file so it may not do what
you want it to do.

MR> Secondly, I couldn't find a logoff time or total amount of time for a

Yes the callers.dat would not have this information. The record is added to
callers.dat when the user logs in not when they log out, although maybe it
could be updated a second time to include the users logout time as well.

Yeah, the reason is to show the actual call number for that call in a list of
last callers. Now it looks weird if someone called more that one time that day.
Example what I would like:

User Date/Time on--------#Calls
John 220213 10:01-10:04 5 (instead of 7)
Pete 220213 10:02-10:25 19
John 220213 16:14-16:44 6 (instead of 7)
John 220213 23:03-23:11 7

Yes exactly.

Nice!

Okay I will add this in for you in the next build of A48!

MR> Nice!

This one might take me a bit longer to get to but feel free to remind me in a
couple of weeks if you don't see it :)

Is there a change in the Structs for this ? As I could not detect a difference.

Yes if you are not using Mystic to display the value and you're trying to read
the structure directly, then you would need to the updated structure. Note
that I will probably be doing a full revamp on this at some point though as
this structure is from the 1990s.

RecLastOn = Record // CALLERS.DAT
DateTime : LongInt;
NewUser : Boolean;
PeerIP : String[15];
PeerHost : String[50];
Node : Byte;
CallNum : LongInt;
Handle : String[30];
City : String[25];
Address : String[30];
Gender : Char;
EmailAddr : String[35];
UserInfo : String[30];
OptionData : Array[1..10] of String[60];
Source : Byte;
UserCalls : Cardinal;
Reserved : Array[1..48] of Byte;
End;

Thanks a lot! Yes I am doing it the old school way.
