DATALOG.EXE - Copyright 1992 By BootSoft! & Daryl Stogner
------------------------------------------------------------------
Datalog is a utility program written for use with the DataView!
compressed file viewing program. Datalog simply reads the LOG
file written by DataView! and creates an ASCII and ANSI display
containing the name, time and date a caller viewed a file and
the name of the compressed file that was viewed.
DataView! has a clean and simple display itself, but I wanted
something that was both ASCII and ANSI color, and even more
simple for bulletin usage.
------------------------------------------------------------------
How to Setup DataLog:
Create an ASCII text file containing one line with your BBS name
on it. This is used to personalize the display files for your BBS.
Call this file -> "DATALOG.CFG"
Copy DATALOG.CFG and DATALOG.EXE into the directory where you
maintain your DataView! activity log.
NOTE: DataLog looks for a DataView! log called "DATAV2.LOG"
If you are using a later version or your DataView! log
has a different name, be sure to rename it to "DATAV2.LOG"
in your BATCH file before running DataLog.Exe.
OR DATALOG WILL ABORT!
Now that you have a DataView! log called "DATAV2.LOG" and you
have copied DATALOG.EXE and DATALOG.CFG into that directory you
can run the program from the DOS prompt, an Event or an Errorlevel
60 Event. The display files created will be called, "DATALOG.BBS"
and "DATALOG.SCR".
Rename them to whatever you want and copy them to your bulletin
or display file directory.
BE SURE TO DELETE THE "DATALOG.BBS/SCR" FILES AFTER YOU COPY THEM!
Or they will be appended to and grow after each use.
------------------------------------------------------------------
REGISTRATION?
Not today! Just use the util and enjoy it! Drop me a note and
let me know if all is well. If you have a BBS project I would be
glad to attempt it. Call me at my BBS and if it's within my
capabilities, I'll put together something for us all to use.
ENJOY DATALOG!
And of course....support DataView! It's a GREAT compressed file
viewing program for both Wildcat! v2+ and v3+.
