Carrie R. Lust is a highly configurable phone-cost and online time tracking utility for OS/2 in the tradition of Richard Papo's "MemSize" systemresources monitor.

You may choose freely what values out of 11 available should be displayed, may let Carrie warn you in several ways (Beep, messagebox, etc.) when certain events happen (end of current unit, user configured time limit reached, user configured costs reached, etc.) and may log all connections to a file.

The scheme, after which the charges to be applied are determined, may be configured by the user to suits her/his needs (though especially this feature is still far from what I want it to be ...)

Carrie may automatically detect, when a connection is established and start the counter and stop it again afterwards.

Will probably take some time (if there are no serious bugs discovered).

The following things were changed/added:

• (Hopefully) fixed the bug that caused Carrie to sometimes crash on exit.
• The limit can now be used with the total connection time rather than with the session connection time if user wants.
• Reduced the flickering of the display window.

... and in 1.10:

• Implemented the much requested connection-autodetect feature (though it is still only experimental and not guaranteed to work!)
• Connections where the counter never was started will no longer get logged.
• Extensive error messages that appeared when two instances of Carrie were started and tried to access the pipe are now only shown once.
• Two new remote commands, "hide" and "show" to hide and show the display window.
• The total connection time savefile now can be set in the settings window.
• Time- and currency-values are now displayed using your system's country-settings.
• Better parsing of the charges-file.

You may freely use Carrie R. Lust, the only thing I demand of you, is that you write me a short mail or postcard or something like that, that you use the program. (Mailware/Cardware is the word; see Carrie's online documentation for more info how to reach me)
