- !!!! PLEASE NOTE !!!!
-
- The data file format of LOG V 3.0 is incompatible with earlier versions 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!
-
- !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
- LOG V 3.0 has several significant operational differences from earlier
- versions.
-
- 1) File format:
- - It adds a real-number record of the elapsed time to simplify the
- calcuation of category totals during the summary procedure
- - 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.
