                       Tag System Statistics Program

   What it does:
   Quite simply this program searches the Path for your STATUS.DAT file then
   it finds your usage.log and makes a nice looking bulletin telling you 
   about your 'Best' days, your average day and the totals for as many days 
   as your log contains.

   Reason behind it:
   The reason that I made this program is because there were a few out that
   did not work correctly with larger numbers...like a day that 50000k was
   downloaded....it happens.  Also I wanted to make a util that would be 
   small and powerfull.  STATS does not need to have any type of config file
   for it to run.  This will save some space on the Hard Drive and it will
   eliminate one of those annoying config files. 

   Usage:
   Simply put STATS.EXE somewhere on your Hard Drive.  From there it will
   search thru the Path to find all the files that it needs to run.
   To run the program Type 'Stats [bulletin]' where bulletin is the name of 
   the ASCII and ANSI bulletins that you want the program to create.  You do 
   not need to use a .CLR or .MSG on the end of the filename since the 
   program will add those on for you.  Any valid path and filename are 
   acceptable....in other words....
   STATS C:\BBS\Gfiles\Logon1    or
   STATS C:\BBS\BulletST         or
   STATS File
   .....are all acceptable names for the output file.  Suffice to say that
   the program will let you know if there is a problem making the output
   file.  Otherwise Everything will work without any problems.

   Batch Files:
   I would suggest running this program during the nitely maintenance.
   Thats what it is best suited for...but it can be run from the command
   line as well.  The program will halt with an error code of 255 if any 
   Input/Output errors are encountered.

   Well thats all....If I go on any more the docs will be larger than the
   actual program.
