Copyright 1990

Overview:
Daily Log Book was created to serve as a computerized log
book or diary. While their are many appointment scheduler
programs, these do not fill the need to keep daily records on a
subject. Daily Log Book specializes in this one task. Its
features include on screen calendar, searching and printing (by
day, month, or entire log), high quality editor, and ease of use.
Shareware Notice:
Feel free to try Daily Log Book for thirty days. If you are
still using the program after thirty days, you are asked to
register Daily Log Book. As an add bonus, you will receive an
enhanced version of Daily Log Book. This enhanced version pro-
vides support for multiple log subject files, larger amounts of
data per day, and much more. Registration is a mere ten dollars
sent to

Possible Problems/Solutions:
Problem - Disk Full Error
Solution - Each month is stored in a separate file and can be
identified by the file name. For example A0390.DAT
is the file containing data for the month of March,
1990. If your disk is filled, you may copy a couple
of your oldest months to an archive disk (if you wish
to save them) then delete them from your Log Book data
disk.
Problem - Out of Memory Error
Solution - Each month is limited to about 64K of data after the
program expands blank days. If you need more than 64K
per month register Log Book. In the registered version
of the program a month file can use ALL available
memory.
Problem - I can't live with choice of colors used by this
program.
Solution - Register Log Book. The registered version of the
program allows user selection of colors.
Problem - I want to print to a printer connected to parallel
printer port 2 (LPT2).
Solution - Register Log Book. The shareware version of the
program supports only LPT1.
