DESCRIPTION:
	ParseIT is an application for gaming servers, such as Quake/Quake2/Sin/Unreal/ect.
	It originaly poped into my head one day that i wanted a stat app to run at my 
	friends lan parties. One that would not require a different DLL, and i also did 
	not want to ahevto run a stat app for each different game and different MOD. So
	ParseIt started to become alot of scrible on paper. Then it became code (with 
	help from my mother who is a programmer at Lexis-Nexis "the data firm") and 
	began to take shape. The plans for ParseIt are great, and more is to come.
==============
INSTALLATION 
==============
	-Unzip ParseIt to any folder you wish (ex: c:\games\ParseIT\ )
	-Edit the Config.ini file
	-RUN RUN RUN RUN!! :P
!!!WARNING!!!
	This program has not been tested yet on an actual server.. so we suges you copy
the logs to a dif server first. Also daily stats are not fully working. If run 
so it points at the log while the server is writing to it. The program possibly will
run in a never ending loop. Also email jared@infinet.com with ANY problems or 
sugested fixes. 

==============
Config File
==============
	Contains all the file path`s and Sleep timer and how many days to remove
players after.

	[list] - used for each different list can have multiple lists
	list: - where to store the main database of player starts
	daily: - where to the daily statistics
	log: - where the main log to process is (ex: C:\sin\base\qconsole.log)
	msg: - the file containign all kill/death messages
	listtmpl: - the main list html template file
	dailytmpl: - the html template for teh daily statistics
	htmlist: - filename and location to output the html for main list
	htmdaily: - filename and location to output the html for dialy stats
	expire: - after how many days to delete the players from the list (they msut play
		 again befor this limit iss up to remain on the list)
	sleep: - N/A to be added
	[end] - end of each list must be used for each list


==============
KILL MSGS
==============
	Well obviously i only have the kill messages for Sin so far. This is due
to the fact that i could not take the time to make them for every game. That it should
be compatable with. So here is what you need to know to make a killmessage list.
First i sugest you either A  ask teh company who amde the game for the kill messages,
the mod author if he edited them, or just look in the dll(unless ya wanna search through 
a log file like i did with Sin EEK).
	[name2] - adds a death to the persons name -1 for them
	[name1] - adds a kill to the name +1

example: [name2] drowns in a rain of [name1]'s hot lead

what to expect: flag caps for people & blue/red/other team cap status (heh tam caps will
be harder to add)

==============
html templates
==============
	This is how you tell the program, what teh html it will output is to look like.

	<loop> - begins the loop of the player stat output
	</loop> - tells it where to end the looping
	<rank>	- rank # acording to percentrage & kills
	<name> - player`s name
	<kill> - player`s kills
	<death> - player`s deaths
	<death> - player`s percentage NOTE- Ranges from 100 to -100
