INTRO
~~~~~
IRCSTAT generates practical statistics over domains and users that  
have connected to the local irc server. One has the option of filtering 
away any unwanted information.

The program is highly customable using a Ircstat Definition File (idf).
In the IDF it's possible to have usertranslations, host/domain translations,
userinformation, dominainformation.

The IRCSTAT program is written in Perl, thus you need perl to run it.


HOW TO INSTALL AND CONFIGURE IRCSTAT
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Run the "Configure" script as   perl Configure   and answer the questions
asked. The script will also install the binaries and manpages if so is
desired.


OTHER PROGRAMS IN THIS PACKAGE
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
logexc     A program to extract from the userlog.
  If you run  regional stats, this is _THE_ script to use to extract and
  send LAST months userlog to the person who is doing the regional stat
  work.

totdays    A program to sum-up days from a userlogfile.
  IRCNO is using this script to ensure that certain servers do have the 
  correct amount of klient-served days in a month.
  It is also better to run this instead of ircstat if you  only wants 
  totalinformation.

newdoms    A program that extract domains that are not in the IDF file.
  If you have run ircstat on a 400.000 line logfile and then find out that
  there are a coupple of new domains it's a pain to re-run the ircstat on
  those 400.000 lines. Run newdoms prior to ircstat.

farnear    A program to analyze wich domains are using your server.
  Have you ever wondered about wich domains net-vice that is using your
  server? This is espesially usefull in a given geographical region.
