CVTSTLOG.DOC v1.02 (c)1999 2E1FXN
=================================
This program came about because TSTHOST generates a Logfile that gets
bigger as time passes, its not long before a 200kb Logfile is created
I decided to write a little routine to automatically save the LOGFILE
to a SUB-DIRECTORY called LOGS in the Main TSTHOST directory.
Converted Logfile : 19990707.LOG
CallSign Date Start End
-------------------------------------
- GB7SYP : 16/07/1999 10:11 > 10:12
- SWITCH : 16/07/1999 10:16 > 10:43
The new filename is automatically created, from YEAR, MONTH, and LOG no.
YYYYMMLL.LOG LL which is derived from the CVTSTLOG.CFG File
Counting the List of Days - in the above example 07 was Saved on the 19th
Day of the Month.
INSTALLATION
============
1) If you have CVTSTLOG v1.00 please Delete both the EXE & CFG files
2) Extract CVTSTLOG.EXE to your Main TSTHOST Directory.
3) At the DOS Prompt Type CVTSTLOG, you will be informed the following
** CVTSTLOG.CFG - using Default Settings **
Config file Saved
4) Edit the CVTSTLOG.CFG to your own preferences
- Leave KILL=NO until you are sure the CFG settings are correct.
- Change EVERY 7 to ALL - for TESTING
5) Run CVTSTLOG - you will have a new logfile YYYYMMLL.LOG in your
selected Save Directory.
YYYY = 1999 - YEAR
MM = 07 - MONTH
LL = 07 - LOG NUMBER
A message on screen should state that
"..\TSTHOST.LOG Converted To ..\YYYYMMLL.LOG
6) Run CVTSTLOG again should produce
** Process Cancelled - File Previously Converted **
7) Select Days to Convert & Save the Log
ALL = Every Day
EVERY n = 1 to 7 or 10
if n=2 - 02,04,06,08,10,12,14,16,18,20,22,24,26,28,30
if n=3 - 01,04,07,10,13,16,19,22,25,28
if n=4 - 01,05,09,13,17,21,25,29
if n=5 - 01,06,11,16,21,26,30
if n=6 - 01,07,13,19,25,31
if n=7 - 01,08,15,22,29
if n=10 - 01,11,21,31
If the Day Selection is not present if you only want every 14 days
use the DAYS=Optional Days
DAYS=01,15,31
8) When all seems to be working as you like, Edit CVTSTLOG.CFG and set the
KILL=YES
A Logfile that has been converted will NOT be overwritten or reprocessed,
the original TSTHOST.LOG will be automatically deleted ( only after the
succesfull conversion and the KILL=YES is set in the CVTSTLOG.CFG File)

XCALLS=COL,LEN
Default: XCALLS=01,11 - Set for TSTHOST.LOG Callsign Data
XSTART=COL,LEN

If KILL=FALSE or
If KILL=NO The File will be converted and placed in your selected
directory, the TSTHOST.LOG will Remain in your Main TSTHOST dir
and will continue to be appended to by the PMS
If KILL=TRUE or
If KILL=YES The File will be converted and placed in your selected
directory, The TSTHOST.LOG file will be Deleted, TSTHOST will create
a new TSTHOST.LOG File as Needed.
PATH=DRIVE:\PATH
Default: MAIN TSTHOST Directory..\LOGS\
You can now redirect CVTSTLOG to send your converted LOGS to any Drive
or Path you require, Please Ensure that if you are using Removable
Disks, that the correct Disk is inserted in the Drive.
