INTRODUCTION
VOTEFIX is a simple re-incarnation of a Telegard 2.7 program which
repairs voting booths.
I still haven't discovered why voting booths get damaged in
Telegard 3.0x -- something, either Telegard or another external
utility, changes the voting count without changing the number of
voting users kept in each voting record.
VOTEFIX is designed to repair such damage so the voting records
are accurate (and give percentages which add to 100%).
VOTEFIX operates in two modes
Normal Repairs voting records by recalculating votes from the
user listing. Vote results will be based only on
active users, not the voting history.
Quick Adjusts the user count by counting the vote counts
stored for each question, but no crosschecking is done
with the user listing. Vote results will be based on
voting history (including votes by now deleted users)
rather than just active users.
To envoke the Quick mode, use the option -q after the configuration
path and filename.
VOTEFIX \bbs\config.tg ; normal mode
VOTEFIX \bbs\config.tg -q ; quick mode
