[Software introduction]

+ Overview.

This software reads the journal file of Microsoft Visual SourceSafe (VSS) and analyzes the history by user, command, and file.

The journals that can be parsed are English and Japanese versions 4.2-8.0.


+ Description of the file.

    <Unzip folder>
    .\Readme.txt            ： Japanese file.

    .\VssAnlyz.exe          ： Installer.


+ How to install.

 Please unblock the decompressed file from the file properties.

 Make sure that the unzipped configuration is in the above state, and run VssAnlyz.exe to start the installation.

 After the file is installed in the specified folder, the shortcut will be registered in the start menu.

 To uninstall, use "Add or Remove Programs" in Control Panel.

 The program name is "VssAnlyz".

 "MFC Runtime" is required for operation. "MFC Runtime" will be automatically installed from the network.


+ Precautions.

+ Simple usage instructions.

 Make sure that the journal file is set in the VSS admin settings.
 Start VssAnlyz and select "Open File" to specify the journal file.
 (Up to 8 files are recorded in the menu as history.)

 If VSS is not installed, use the F2 key to load the sample and enjoy the atmosphere.

 The left window shows the user, command, and file aggregates.
 The right window shows a detailed list of the selected items.

 The number in parentheses displayed in the tree on the left represents the number of data.
 The number in [] displayed in the caption represents the total number of data.

 The number aggregated at the root of the tree represents the number of items directly below. For example, the number displayed on the tab for each file is counted as one item even if the same file or folder is modified multiple times.

 The toolbar buttons are explained from the left.
