DArc32 is an application designed to make the task of archiving files used and produced by DCS™, Maestro™ or XStudio systems easier.

These audio delivery systems use a log, which is the source document produced either by your traffic system or is a "merged" file that combines your music scheduling system's music log content and your traffic system's commercial content.

They also automatically create an "audit" file, which includes information on what the system did, including the playing of audio, information on receipt of outside stimuli (like a network "tone" or "relay"), and other useful information on what the system did.

These two general file types are day-oriented.  A unique log date file is used, and similarly, a unique audit file is created.  Each of the files has a unique name.  Both types of files have a naming syntax of mmddyySx where the "mmddyy" part is month, day, year (2-digit), the "S" is for "Station", and the "x" value is station number. Where the two types differ is in the file extension - logs are .LOG and audit files are .ADT.  So, for a date of, say, February 14, 2000, and a station designated as station one, the two files we'd be interested in archiving would be 021400S1.LOG and 021400S1.ADT.

Instead of having to remember how these files are named, and then picking the correct ones for a given date range, DArc32 presents you with a calendar from which to select a beginning and ending archive date.  You may elect to archive either log or audit files - or both types.  You may choose to simply move the files to an archive location, or you can "zip" the files, reducing the space required for archiving.
