This DOC file CLEANQM.DOC accompanies the file CLEANQM.EXE which is
used to remove the (considered by me) unnecessary 'clutter' that Qmodem (c)
puts into its 'log' files. Personally, I don't care about every 'shell
to DOS', 'characters per second' on up/downloads, and other stuff which is
nice when you're confused by the program but is excess baggage for normal
review of activities.
Thus, CLEANQM ..... this will read your log file (the default or what-
ever you tell Qmodem to call it) and strip out all that clutter, separate
all calls with a '---------------'line, put the date first instead of the
time, and generally clean up the file so it can be read without a hassle.
You can re-name the .EXE file to whatever you like....maybe CLEAN.EXE...or
Qclean.exe....or...?....
To use the program, merely enter from DOS: CLEANQM [Qmodem.log] or
whatever your [log file name] is.....it will take out all the stuff I
mentioned and give you something you can read.... It does not affect
Qmodem's ability to add to it as necessary, and you can always see when
you last 'cleaned' it up....just TYPE, LIST or otherwise view your log
file; you can see where it changes from readibility to confusion.
This program is hereby public domain; use it as you wish. No warranties,
guarantees or any other promises are made as to its usefulness or correct-
ness. It works great for me. If you use it, it would be nice if
you'd just mail me a dollar bill.....that's pretty cheap shareware!
Thanks, and enjoy!
