The program will not utilize any TEMP path specification specified
in the configuration file.
This program will only display TEN log entries after each search
until the software is registered.
The program will also display UNREGISTERED EVALUATION in the
registration space on the main screen. registration has its'
advantages ......

PROGRAM REQUIREMENTS.
---------------------
The program requires the following:
384 KB RAM
INSTALLATION.
-------------
The self extracting CONLOG archive contains the following files :
CONLOG .COM - The CONLOG executable file.
CONLOG .CFG - Sample configuration file.
CONLOG .DOC - The CONLOG documentation.
CONLOG .HST - CONLOG Version history file
README .1ST - New Features not included in this document.
REGISTER.FRM - Concept Systems Software registration form.
PRODUCTS.CON - Concept Systems Software catalogue.
FILE_ID .DIZ - Description file.
Note that the archive should display -AV when extracting the files, if
not the archive has been tampered with. The latest version of CONLOG
can be downloaded from my bulletin board -
The Concept BBS
Phone : (011) 440-6246
Speed : 2400 - 38400
Hours : 24 hours.
Internet : paul.giraud@concept.proxima.atl.za
All the Concept Systems software is available in the Concept Soft
Conference - Conference 10.
Installation is easy - if you have a utility directory you may use
this directory otherwise create a directory for CONLOG and unzip the
archive into whichever directory you want.
Placing the executable file into the DOS PATH will make CONLOG easier
to use.
The next thing to do is create or modify the CONLOG.CFG file to suit
your system. Please note that the configuration file name cannot be
changed under any circumstances. Also please note that the config
need not be in the same directory as the executable, but when
executing CONLOG the configuration file must be on the same drive as
CONLOG or the program will not work.
The configuration file consists of six lines and ONLY THE FIRST SEVEN
LINES of this file are read by the program.
Line 1 :- Registration Name
---------------------------
If you have registered CONLOG the name that you completed on the
registration form should be inserted onto this line - EXACTLY as you
entered it on the form.
If not registered enter your name on this line or leave the line
blank.
Line 2 :- Registration Number
-----------------------------
After registering CONLOG you will receive a personalized registration
number - enter this number on this line. If you haven't registered
either leave the line blank or enter 00000000.
Line 3 :- TEMP Path.
--------------------
If you have a RAM drive or fast TEMP drive CONLOG will utilize this
drive for searches - enter the path to this drive. If left blank the
program will use the DOS default defined in the PC's environment.
(Registered version only)
eg D:\
E:\TEMP\
USING CONLOG.
-------------
Using the program is simple:
1. Change to the directory where your archives are located. (Not
necessary but make conlog easier to use)
2. On the command line type:
CONLOG
A menu displaying the supported log file formats will be displayed -
select on and press enter. You will be prompted to enter the path and
file name of the log, if you are already in your log directory, and
you have not changed the default name for that log format, press ENTER
and CONLOG will begin its' search through the log.
Once the program has finished a windows will popup with the following
data displayed
Dial Name
Dial Number
Total Calls
Highest completed file transfer speed
Lowest completed file transfer speed
Average file transfer speed
Total time online for that log entry.
Note that if zeros are reflected in the log entry - a connection was
made but no file transfer was made.
CONLOG is not a wizard - if a CONNECT was made and the connection was
terminated abnormally - a call will be logged, but the time online is
not calcualted in the current version.
The cursor keys, PgUp & PgDn and Home and End keys may be used to
navigate through the log.
At the bottom of the screen is a menu of choices :
F2 - Print the Log
F3 - Re-sort the log
F4 - Display another log file
F2 - PRINTING THE LOG.
----------------------
On selection a windows will popup and prompt you to make sure the
printer is online and then press any key. If you press the key and
the printer is offline or turned off or needs paper an error message
will be displayed. Either fix the problem or press Escape to exit
back to the
Please note as I mentioned earlier ensure that the CONLOG.CFG file on
the same drive that CONLOG is executed from or the program will not
work and will report an error.
SUPPORT.
--------
Should you wish to comments or make recommendations, Please leave a
message on the above mentioned board, I will answer any mail left on
the board - and will certainly entertain an new ideas for the program
should there be any. Mail should be address to either SYSOP or PAUL
GIRAUD when left on the BBS.
A plea to all users - please read the DOCS before using CONLOG I have
been inundated with calls from users that say that CONLOG doesn't work
and only to find that when following th correct installation
procedures the program works fine.
