PSTAT


	PSTAT is a PBBS utility designed to display the various settings
within PBBS. These are the settings you chose when assembling a bulletin 
board system. Many times during the assembly of your BBS and the various 
support utilities used on a remote system, you will have had to refer to 
many, many pages of printouts to get the address of a particular byte in 
low memory or to get the name of the file you deceided that you'd use as 
an exit alias. This prolongs the installation of your system. PSTAT will
make it possible to examine all of those user defined settings. 

	As a PBBS utility, PSTAT must be assembled with your headers and
linked with the latest version of PBBSUBS.REL. PSTAT was designed around
PBBS 4.5 headers and therefore requires version 4.5 or later to operate.

Example:	Assembly using SLR

		SLR PSTAT100	(If SLR default source extent is .MAC)
	
		Linking using SLRNKP

		SLRNKP PSTAT100/N,/A:100,PSTAT100,PBSUB413/S,/E

	This program will operate in one of two modes. You may specify a
selected option on the command line or elect to run in the menu mode. In
both modes, there is a complete help screen available. 

SYNTAX:	PSTAT   -or-
	PSTAT /o

	Options:  A - Access Tables
		  B - Drive/User Bitmaps
		  D - DU: Selections
		  E - Entry/Welcome Files
		  F - Mail Folders
	 	  I - INDEX.PBS Information
		  L - Low Memory Addresses
		  M - Message Statistics
	          O - Operating System and PBBS
	 	  P - PBBS Internal Settings
		  R - Restrictions
	 	  S - System Files
		  V - Version Number & System Information
		  Z - Z-System
		? / - Help
		  X - Exit 	(Menu Mode ONLY)

When called with one of the above options, PSTAT will display the needed
information and exit to the operating system. If no options are supplied
on the command line, PSTAT will run in the menu mode of operation. While
running under menu control, the selected information is displayed giving
the user a 'Press <ENTER> to Continue ... ' prompt and when done control
is returned to the menu processor.

	PSTAT requires that BYE be operational and, with certain options
selected, PBBS be running. Some information, such as that in low memory,
do not make any sense unless PBBS has set these bytes. In these cases, a
check is made of the REENTR byte to see if PBBS has been loaded. If this
byte is not set, the user will be given an error message and when loaded
in the menu mode, operation is returned to the menu processor. If in the
option mode, control is given back to the user by exiting to the system.
