Introduction
     PDStat is a handy utility to display the information stored in the
SLBBS statistics log file, as well as the caller log file, and the node
status file.  It has three display screens, one associated with each file.

Main Screen
     This screen displays six statistics (Total Calls, New Messages Posted,
New Mail for Sysop, New Users, Files Uploaded, and Files Downloaded) in each
of four categories (Activity since midnight, Activity since Sysop's last
session, Activity since last global reset, and Activity since SLBBS v4.0
installation).  The global reset section can be reset with the F5 key.

Call Log Screen
     This screen displays the last nineteen callers (by the name used to
login with, alias or real), the date of login, the time of login, and the
location of the caller.

Node Status Screen
     This screen displays the first nineteen nodes.  If a user is logged in,
PDStat displays the user's name and their status (Entering Messages,
Downloading a File, Uploading a File, etc.).  If there is no user logged in,
PDStat displays a waiting message.

Execution
     PDStat requires an environment variable named SLBBS that points to the
directory of a CONFIG.SL2 file for it's use.  It must point to a CONFIG.SL2
file that is not in use by another node.  In addition, PDStat can be
configured by editing the PDSTAT.INI file that came with the archive.  This
file contains a few additional instructions.  In addition, PDStat can take
one optional command line parameter indicating the initial screen to
display: /MAIN, /CALL, /NODE.  Running PDStat with a /? parameter will
display the command line options.

Guarantee
     There is none.  I have no idea what PDStat will do when it is run on
your system, although I hope it runs well.  It may blow out the windows for
all I know.
