Version 2.6   11/15/95   Basically a maintenance release, now includes
                         extended v.34 connects by USR v.34 modems.

Version 2.5   03/13/95   Further improved the change made in 2.4. Spitstat
                         will now use the date from the first call recorded
                         in the callers.log as the starting date, if no log
                         starting line is found. It will still insert the
                         SF-style starting line for future use if not
                         found. This change should allow the starting date
                         of the bulletin to be more accurate in a wider
                         range of applications.

Version 2.4   02/17/95   Re-wrote several sections of code for improved
                         performance and statistical accuracy. Messages
                         left via the Jetmail door are now added to the
                         message stats.

                         Again changed the way that Spitstat finds the
                         starting date for the bulletins. I attempted to
                         change this for the better in v2.2, but overlooked
                         a couple scenerios where my method was not
                         practical. Spitstat will now report the starting
                         date of the bulletins correctly, regardless of
                         what intervals you are updating them. Spitstat is
                         still not dependant on Spitfire writing the date
                         in the first line of the callers.log, which is
                         what I was attempting to overcome in v2.2. If
                         Spitstat doesn't find the line that Spitfire would
                         normally create, it just creates one itself.

Version 2.3   02/03/95   Fixed an error where the .CLR output was
                         displaying the number of files downloaded instead
                         of the number of ARQ connections.

Version 2.2   11/25/94   The date is no longer read from the CALLERS.LOG.
                         This will insure that the proper date is written
                         in the bulletins, rather than depending on finding
                         it on the first line of the log file. See the .DOC
                         file for more details.

Version 2.1   08/08/94   Added Support for connects up to 28.8. Added a
                         couple other fields, with some slight cosmetic
                         changes.

                         Plans ARE being made to add RIP output bulletin
                         support to SPITSTAT in the near future.

Version 2.0   12/05/93   'Boxed' in the display for a somewhat neater look.
                         Added a random color generator routine for the
                         display items. Items in each bulletin will now be
                         colorized randomly, creating a unique bulletin
                         each time SPITSTAT is executed.

                         Added support for connect speeds of 16.8 and 19.2,
                         which are totaled as 14.4+ baud.

                         Spitstat was including Local Logons in the Total
                         Calls field before. Spitstat will now only report
                         on actual remote calls to your system. Local
                         Logons are now ignored, so your total calls should
                         now be consistent with the displayed number of per
                         baud rate calls.

Version 1.6   04/15/93   Added 6 additional fields to the SPITSTAT display,
                         and also corrected a small error I introduced in 1.4
                         that was only related to cosmetics during
                         execution. Must have been one of those nights when
                         I should have went to bed earlier.....<GRIN>

Version 1.5   04/14/93   Added routines to safeguard against virus, or
                         other program contamination. This is the only
                         change made in this version.

Version 1.4   02/28/93   Lakota is now also supported,and is included
                         in the door count. Other minor enhancements.

Version 1.3   01/24/93   Added support for Jetmail usage to be included in
                         the door usage count. Also revised docs to reflect
                         this, and also how to include other doors in the
                         count.

Version 1.2   12/18/92   Streamlined code a bit while making a couple minor
                         cosmetic adjustments. Changed code to handle date
                         of current run more efficiently.

Version 1.1   Initial Release    11/09/92
