- Welcome to Maxlog!
-
- A utility to keep your MAX.LOG file trimmed down to a specific
- number of days for DOS and OS/2!
-
- Syntax: MaxLog <# of days> <Squish or Max log file name>
-
- ----------------------------------------
- DUE TO MAXTOOLS SUGGESTIONS
- ----------------------------------------
- I had originally released a package of 16 utilities for Maximus SysOps
- called MaxTools. (Full MaxTools 1.03 documentation included)
- MaxLog was one of those utilities. MaxTools was a great success and I
- listened to ideas, complaints and suggestions.
-
- The top 2 were as follows:
-
- 1. Let me know when you release and OS/2 version
- 2. $20 registration fee is to high if I just want to use only 1 or 2 utilities.
-
- ----------------------------------------
- MY ANSWER TO THESE SUGGESTIONS
- ----------------------------------------
- 1. MaxLog as an experiment was re-written for OS/2 and DOS
- 2. The registration fee for MaxLog standalone for DOS and OS/2 is
- only $1.00. If you like it, I'll consider doing more this way.
-
-
- - Packing list
-
- README.1ST - This file
- MAXLOG.LZH - Maxlog executables for DOS and OS/2
- MAXTOOLS.DOC - Documentation for the full MaxTools package
-
- Within the MAXLOG.LZH file are 3 files:
-
- MAXLOG.XT - MaxLog.EXE for XT machines under DOS
- MAXLOG.AT - MaxLog.EXE for (AT machines ONLY) under DOS
- MAXLOG.OS2 - MaxLog.EXE for AT machines ONLY under OS2 2.0 or greater
-
- Just rename the appropriate file to MaxLog.EXE and type
- "MaxLog" by itself for complete instructions.
-
- - MaxTools.Doc contains documentation for ALL of the MaxTools
- including MaxLog with some minor exceptions:
-
- 1. No environment variable is needed or used
- 2. Logging to MaxTools.Log is not supported or necessary.
- 3. MaxLog does not exit with error levels
-
- NOTE: The above 3 items were omitted mainly because I felt they
- were not important and allowed me to greatly speed up the
- performance and lessen the final executable size.
-
- If you have any questions or suggestions, please feel free to netmail
- me or leave a message on MAXTOOLS_SUPPORT echo or MUFFIN.
