- =========== Printing the Instruction Manual =================
-
- If you have a printer which prints the IBM box characters and
- recognizes standard IBM/Epson control codes for double width,
- boldface, etc., DO THIS:
- COPY CONLOG.IBM PRN:
- or:
- PRINT CONLOG.IBM
- (Note: Some distributions from bulletin boards may not have this
- file due to space limitations. Instead, use the file
- CONLOG.DOC. A purchased distribution disk will have
- both files.)
-
-
- If you have a printer which DOES NOT print the IBM box characters or
- DOES NOT recognizes standard IBM/Epson control codes for double width,
- boldface, etc., DO THIS:
- COPY CONLOG.DOC PRN:
- or:
- PRINT CONLOG.DOC
-
-
- !!!!!! BE SURE TO RUN THE INSTCLOG (INSTALLATION) PROGRAM BEFORE
- ANY OTHER PROGRAMS. INSTCLOG IS REQUIRED TO SETUP THE
- CONFIGURATION FILE WITH YOUR SPECIFIC INFORMATION !!!!!!!!!!
- Configuration files for previous versions will NOT work with version
- 1.80. However, do NOT erase your old CONLOG.PRM file, since INSTCLOG
- is smart enough to retrieve all old information and make a new file.

-
- >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> VERSION 1.80 CHANGES <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
- 1. Time is now synchronized much tighter with the DOS system time.
- If your DOS time is incorrect, CONLOG's will be too!
- Using the DOS TIME command and WWV, set your time to the
- exact second. Then CONLOG will remain accurate within 2 seconds,
- which is more than accurate enough for the contest.
-
- 2. Several items on the screen were placed incorrectly when returning
- from an exit to DOS or a screen standby. These have been fixed.
-
- 3. All programs re-compiled with latest version of Turbo-C, and optimized for
- speed of execution.
-
- 4. Some rare printers didn't like LOGSHEET's means of issuing a linefeed
- only instead of a cr/lf combination. LOGSHEET now issues both characters
- to cover all types of printers.
-
- 5. User can select 4 modes of error "beeps".
-
- 6. User can select order of data entry fields.
-
- 7. User can select auto-advance out of the check field after 2 digits.
-
- 8. User can select display of short or long section names. CONLOG
- always accepts either one during data entry.
-
- 9. <space> bar may be used to terminate a data entry just as <enter>
- key does.
-
- 10. When exiting CONLOG, a special file is created which allows CONLOG
- to resume operation the next time it is invoked, and automatically
- restore all data and notepad items.
-
- 11. Special functions (Alt-FK1) menu can be invoked from normal
- functions (FK1) menu without need to log on to the contest.
-
- 12. There are other corrections and enhancements. PLEASE READ THE
- INSTRUCTION MANUAL CAREFULLY!! Most questions can be answered
- by simply reading the instructions! Thank you!
-
-
- Regarding phone calls: Due to time limitations, I do not normally
- offer online phone help. However, that does not stop people from
- calling me <grin>. Please be advised, though, that I will be
- working the Phone weekend of the contest, and I definitely will
- NOT accept calls relative to any of my programs. No apologies --
- where the sweepstakes is concerned, even my wife knows better than
- to disturb me! Thank you for your cooperation, and I'll see you on
- the bands. If you work me, let me know you're using CONLOG.
-
-
- ************* Is There a Version 1.9 in Your Future? *********
- There are more features I'd like to add to CONLOG, but time may
- not permit it before the 1989 contest. However, don't let that
- stop you from purchasing CONLOG. I'll make this offer:
- Any registration received prior to October 1, 1989 will receive
- any updates to Version 1.80 FREE. Mind you, I am not saying that
- I can have another version in time for this year, but if I do,
- you'll have it automatically if you register by 10-1-89.
-
- >> Please share this program with others and encourage them to
- register CONLOG. <<
