     XMSTATS  is  a utility program for use by  System  Operators
(SYSOP's) who operate systems utilizing the XMODEM file  transfer
program.   XMSTATS  will  read  the XMODEM.LOG file  produced  by
XMODEM.COM  and report utilization statistics back to the  Sysop.

     Additionally,   XMSTATS   prepares   TWO  files   from   the
XMODEM.LOG, UPLOADER.LOG and DNLOADER.LOG.  The contents of these
files  is obvious.   If you are using the WHATSNEW.COM method  of
reading  the  XMODEM.LOG,   you  may  keep  UPLOADER.LOG  on-line
(renamed to XMODEM.LOG) to show uploads.

     I  found the statistics to be most enlightening,  and I hope
other Sysops find the program of equal use.

     Planned   enhancements  (further  evolution??)  include  the
following items:

          1.   Creation  and  maintenance of a USER  database  to
monitor USER XMODEM activity (ala my earlier DBXMODEM).

          2.   Creation and maintenance of a FILENAME database to
monitor  FILENAME  activity in the system (which files  are  most
popular, and by how much, etc...).

          3.   Maintenance  of a Chronological  activity  history
database that each successive run of XMSTATS will update and make
current.

     Comments are welcomed.
