Cellog was written to keep track of time used on a cellular
mobile phone. This service can be provided by the carrier
with a nominal cost (usually 2.50 / month). Their detailed
billing option is nice to have but you won't be sure of what
is owed until the bill arrives. Some cellular phone models will keep track of air time but the don't know when a call is not completed. This makes the built in timer useless when you regularly call busy numbers or numbers that don't get charged to your bill such as 911.
The screen routines are specifically made for use in LCD laptop machines. Therefore it can be used while in the car. Just keep the laptop running in your car throughout the day as you conduct business and log the calls. With routines like "Windows" you could keep the call file up to date as you set appointments with clients or make orders. Since it only occupies 4 kilobytes, it will operate without affecting other windows.

Operation
(1) Keep the CAPS lock <on> during operation.
(2) The program asks for rate updates when compiling
new total bills.
(3) When saving data, the program creates CALLS.SEQ
to save the information.
(4) To start a new file, move calls.seq to a different
disk and rename it for your convenience. Then
a new calls.seq will be created.
Since the program is quite simple in structure and design, it lacks some sophisticated features like sort and search.
A newer version is in the works to facilitate some more powerful routines like customized file names, color screens, and more options. The end product will be put through a quickbasic compiler for a .exe program.
