- What this does
- ==============
- Bootlogger is a simple program that goes in your C:
- directory and logs the date and time everytime your computer is
- booted up.
-
- Installing
- ==========
- Ok this is how to set bootlogger up :-
-
- Copy BL into your C:
- Edit a line in your userstartup/startup sequence with
- C:BL
- Save your startup!
-
- You can put this program either in your startup-sequence or
- your userstartup but DO NOT put it in both. I find it's
- best to put it on the very last line of the User-Startup
- but you can put it where ever you want depending on when
- you want the program to be run on your startup.
-
- Now everytime your computer is booted up a log of the time and
- date will be saved as a file 'BL.log' this can be found in
- the C: and should be left there. If you delete the BL.log or
- move it out to another draw it will create a new log in the C:
- next time your computer is booted up instead of adding to the old
- log.
-
- If this program fails to work make sure you have the Amos.library
- in your LIBS:
-
- If you have any trouble installing this program please feel
- free to contact me and i'll do my best to help out.
-
- Future
- ======
- This program is still in its early stages and here's what
- i'm going to add in to later versions :-
-
- Make BL file smaller
- Add config so the log can go anywhere
- Add other useful features
- Add peoples ideas
-
- New
- ===
- In this version I have removed the anoying fuzzy squares after
- each line which has made it easyier to view from a text editor.
-
- Credits
- =======
- Please thank all of the following people who have helped
- me write this program :-
-
- Programming : Chris Seward - Cool@dcandy.demon.co.uk
- Original Idea : Edward Hartley - Eddy@ravy.demon.co.uk
- Bugtesting : Alex Landa
-
- A big thanks must go to Edward Hartley for his original
- program (datelogger) where I got the idea to do BootLogger from.
- I wrote this as I felt 'Datelogger' needed some improvements. I
- have managed to improve on 'Datelogger' by making the log file
- simpler and easier to understand and I have cut the file size by
- about 7k.
-
- Disclaimer (please take note)
- =============================
- This program has been tested by a number of people including
- me, I understand that this file should work and not damage your
- computer setup or equiptment, but I CANNOT be held responsible for
- HD muckups or any other setup/equipment or program muckups. Please
- be careful when editing your startup, if you feel you are not
- experienced enough to edit your startup please contact me and I
- will help, otherwise please leave it alone.
