=========== Printing the Instruction Manual =================
If you have a printer which prints the IBM box characters and
recognizes standard IBM/Epson control codes for double width,
boldface, etc., DO THIS:
COPY CONLOG.IBM PRN:
or:
PRINT CONLOG.IBM
(Note: Some distributions from bulletin boards may not have this
file due to space limitations. Instead, use the file
CONLOG.DOC. A purchased distribution disk will have
both files.)
If you have a printer which DOES NOT print the IBM box characters or
DOES NOT recognizes standard IBM/Epson control codes for double width,
boldface, etc., DO THIS:
COPY CONLOG.DOC PRN:
or:
PRINT CONLOG.DOC
!!!!!! BE SURE TO RUN THE INSTCLOG (INSTALLATION) PROGRAM BEFORE
ANY OTHER PROGRAMS. INSTCLOG IS REQUIRED TO SETUP THE
CONFIGURATION FILE WITH YOUR SPECIFIC INFORMATION !!!!!!!!!!
Configuration files for previous versions will NOT work with version
1.80. However, do NOT erase your old CONLOG.PRM file, since INSTCLOG
is smart enough to retrieve all old information and make a new file.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> VERSION 1.80 CHANGES <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
1. Time is now synchronized much tighter with the DOS system time.
If your DOS time is incorrect, CONLOG's will be too!
Using the DOS TIME command and WWV, set your time to the
exact second. Then CONLOG will remain accurate within 2 seconds,
which is more than accurate enough for the contest.
2. Several items on the screen were placed incorrectly when returning
from an exit to DOS or a screen standby. These have been fixed.
3. All programs re-compiled with latest version of Turbo-C, and optimized for
speed of execution.
4. Some rare printers didn't like LOGSHEET's means of issuing a linefeed
only instead of a cr/lf combination. LOGSHEET now issues both characters
to cover all types of printers.
5. User can select 4 modes of error "beeps".
6. User can select order of data entry fields.
7. User can select auto-advance out of the check field after 2 digits.
8. User can select display of short or long section names. CONLOG
always accepts either one during data entry.
9. <space> bar may be used to terminate a data entry just as <enter>
key does.
10. When exiting CONLOG, a special file is created which allows CONLOG
to resume operation the next time it is invoked, and automatically
restore all data and notepad items.
11. Special functions (Alt-FK1) menu can be invoked from normal
functions (FK1) menu without need to log on to the contest.
12. There are other corrections and enhancements. PLEASE READ THE
INSTRUCTION MANUAL CAREFULLY!! Most questions can be answered
by simply reading the instructions! Thank you!
Regarding phone calls: Due to time limitations, I do not normally
offer online phone help. However, that does not stop people from
calling me <grin>. Please be advised, though, that I will be
working the Phone weekend of the contest, and I definitely will
NOT accept calls relative to any of my programs. No apologies --
where the sweepstakes is concerned, even my wife knows better than
to disturb me! Thank you for your cooperation, and I'll see you on
the bands. If you work me, let me know you're using CONLOG.
************* Is There a Version 1.9 in Your Future? *********
There are more features I'd like to add to CONLOG, but time may
not permit it before the 1989 contest. However, don't let that
stop you from purchasing CONLOG. I'll make this offer:
Any registration received prior to October 1, 1989 will receive
any updates to Version 1.80 FREE. Mind you, I am not saying that
I can have another version in time for this year, but if I do,
you'll have it automatically if you register by 10-1-89.
>> Please share this program with others and encourage them to
register CONLOG. <<
