In end of the 80:s I start develop a program for logging
our national monthly contest on 144 MHz and up. It started
on expensive HP300 BASIC computer I used at work. Then came
the PC so time to do something on this platform instead of
the expensive HP computer. With TurboC 1.0 I started the
development and have since then only upgraded to BorlandC
3.1.

In August 1992 I used released LOGGER version 0.0 (!). It
looked very similar to the famous short-wave contest
program CT at that time. During the development there have
been versions 0.10, 0.11, 0.20, 0.20x, 0.30, 0.31 and 0.32.
The latest version have been around many years now, most
because lack of free time to develop the program further.

Since February 1998 I have started to develop the program
again to my need. Some friends have also used the program
and helped me a lot with finding all bugs and bad functions
in the program. They also helped to developed new features
like LoggerNet into the program. I hope that this new
version of LOGGER will help some of you with logging all
you radioactivity.

Why the silly and anonymous name LOGGER ? Well it just got
the name when I start writing the code and I have not seen
any need to change it. There are many other programs also
with the same name but I don't have any better name and all
my friends call it LOGGER so I will keep the name.

Finally I will say that LOGGER is a FREEWARE but don't
change the code and if copy it to other users copy all you
got from me to them.

The easy way is to download the exe-file of LOGGER from
http://welcome.to/logger. Save the file somewhere on the
harddisc.

To install LOGGER create a directory called for example
LOGGER somewhere on you harddisc. Copy then the exe-file
from the downloaded place or disket to this directory.

Move into the LOGGER directory. You shall now have the
exe-file there. Run this file and all files will be
extrated from this package.

If you ar updating a previous version of LOGGER you will
get questions if you want to overwrite existing file.
Answer then always Y (yes) to all these questions.

Now the installation is finnished and you shall have a
logger.exe file which is the LOGGER program.

LOGGER has been tested and is working fine on Linux using the 
dosemu program. This part will give hints how to get LOGGER 
running on Linux with installation of dosemu, MS-DOS and 
LOGGER. You can also have internet connection in LOGGER using
loggerTelnetLinux program.

Install dosemu
--------------
If you installation of Linux don't have the dosemu or xdosemu 
programs you need to install them. I prefere to download 
latest version of dosemu from there website (www.dosemu.org)
and compile/install from sorcecode.

- Download the latest developer releases for dosemu from 
  there site. In my case it were dosemu-1.1.4.tgz.
- I then unpack and install the program with following 
  commands. For more details see dosemu documentation.
  $ tar xzvf dosemu-1.1.4.tgz   (unpack program)
    ...
  $ cd dosemu-1.1.4             (move to..)
    ...
  $ make                        (make program)
    ...
  $ su root                     (change to root)
    ...
  $ make install                (do installation)
    ...
  $ exit                        (exit root mode)
  $ cd ..
  $ rmdir dosemu-1.1.4 -r -f    (remove source code)
- You shall now have the commands dosemu and xdosemu 
  to start the dos emulation program. Try the xdosemu 
  and you will get a x-console starting DOS. It will
  fail because it will not find any installation of DOS.

Install MS-DOS or similar
-------------------------
When the dosemu program seem to work you will need a 
installation of DOS on the machine that dosemu can boot.
There is many DOS to install and dosemu supports Freedos 
(www.freedos.org) but you can also install you old MS-DOS 
here. For Freedos see there site for more information.
I will here show an easy installation of MS-DOS.
- First we need to create a directory tree in the your 
  home directoy,
  $ cd
  $ mkdir dosemu
  $ cd dosemu
  $ mkdir msdos
  $cd msdos
- You now need some files from the MS-DOS installation 
  disc or from a MS-DOS machine. From these you need to 
  copy some files into the created msdos directory. Below 
  show copy of files from the installation disc 1 of
  MS-DOS 6.22.
  $ mount /mnt/floppy
  $ cp /mnt/floppy/io.sys ~/dosemu/msdos/.
  $ cp /mnt/floppy/msdos.sys ~/dosemu/msdos/.
  $ cp /mnt/floppy/command.com ~/dosemu/msdos/.
  $ umount /mnt/floppy
- Create som simple autoexec.bat files in the 
  msdos directory.
  
  @echo off
  prompt $p$g
  path c:\
  
- A simple config.sys files in the msdos directory.

  buffers=15,0
  files=30

- You shall after installing and starting xdosemu have 
  a file .dosemurc in you home directory. You shall now 
  edit on line in this file. There shall be i line staring 
  with $_hdimage. Below show two lines in this file. The
  first line is the original line. Add a # character in 
  the begining of this line. Then add the second line.
  Note that ulf will be the name of you home directory.

  #$_hdimage = "home/ulf/dosemu/freedos"
  $_hdimage = "home/ulf/dosemu/msdos"

- Hopefully you shall now be able to startup the MS-DOS 
  using xdosemu command. At the DOS-promt you can use the 
  normal DOS commands as dir, mkdir, cd. Not that not all 
  DOS commands is valid because we have not installed the 
  complete MS-DOS. This is not needed to run LOGGER.

Install LOGGER
--------------
The installation of LOGGER is very easy if you download 
the *.exe file of LOGGER. Download latest LOGGER version 
and copy/move it to the msdos directory. Start xdosemu and 
do following command to install LOGGER.

c:\> mkdir logger
c:\> cd logger
c:\> ..\log117.exe
     LOGGER files will be installed...
c:\> logger

Will disable generation of ADI and HTML files when exit    
the program. Faster program exit if you not use this files.

-f<dir>
=======
Start LOGGER in multioperator using fileshare in the 
written directory <dir>. For more information see 
under the multioperation mode help section.

-C
==
Forcing LOGGER to start CW keyer at program start.
See cw keyer text. 

-CIx:yss
========
Start LOGGER with ICOM CI-V bus using com-port x.
x = 1 then use COM1
x = 2 then ust COM2
The value of y shall be 0-9 and indicate the LOGGER station
number when there are more then one LOGGER station on the
samt ICOM CI-V bus.

Use ss if you need power to the interface from RTS or DTR.
-To use RTS set an s to R.
-To use DTR set an s to D.
You can set none, one or two of them active for ICOM-bus
interface power
