- !!!! PLEASE NOTE !!!!
-
- The data file format of LOG V 3.1 is incompatible with earlier versions
- (including V 3.0) and should NOT be used until your existing TIME.LOG file is
- closed out and renamed. This is EXTREMELY IMPORTANT if you want to preserve
- your current records! LOG31.COM or should be renamed to LOG.COM before using.
-
- !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
- LOG V 3.1 has several significant operational differences from earlier
- versions.
-
- 1) File format:
- - The record-counter field of V 2.0 has been eliminated.
- - The comment line has been shortened to only 12 characters so a
- frequently-used time file won't take over your disk as soon.
-
- 2) Command line switches:
- - Summary of log entries is accessed with /* switch instead of the
- separate SHOW program used in previous version.
- - A total of 27 possible categories are possible with switches /A
- through /Z, or with no switch at all, each totaled separately with
- the summary option (/*).
- - Invoking LOG with no switch or comment brings up a quickie usage
- guide for the casual user.
-
- 3) Drive/directory for TIME.LOG file is pre-assigned as C:\UTILITY. This
- may be a problem for for double-floppy users, but a simple fix is
- beyond my scope of expertise. If you have a solution (perhaps use of
- the SUBST or ASSIGN command), please let me know. If you _need_ a
- solution, let me know and I'll pass any words of wisdom on to you. If
- all else fails, I can always rewrite the program to look in the default
- directory and upload it.

- Rev 3.1 modifications 5-18-87 by Rick Johnson
- - Drive specification possible from command line by entering
- a digit from 1 (for drive A) to 4 (for drive D).
- - Random file records no longer store elapsed time as real number-
- calculation done at summary.
- - Utilities are included to convert 2.0 or 3.0 fies to 3.1
- - Utility included to strip out entries of less than a user-specified time.
- - Summary calculates category percentages of total PRODUCTIVE time,
- ignoring administrative time.
