Instructions for loading and using CONLOG.NLM

CONLOG.NLM when loaded, writes all SYSTEM CONSOLE messages to a text file
called CONSOLE.LOG.  This ASCII file will list modules loaded, error
messages generated, etc. when a server is initialized.

TO INSTALL CONLOG
1.  Copy CONLOG.NLM to the SYS:SYSTEM directory of the server you wish to
run CONLOG on.

2.  Check to see if AFTER311.NLM is in the SYSTEM directory.  If not, copy
AFTER311.NLM contained in CONSOLE.EXE to the SYSTEM directory.

3.  If the directory; SYS:ETC does not exist off the root directory of the
server, please create it.  This is the directory where the CONSOLE.LOG will
be created.

4.  Edit AUTOEXEC.NCF to make CONLOG.NLM the first module loaded and the
last unloaded.

TO USE CONLOG
1.  To see all messages generated on the console screen when your server is
brought online; down the server, exit and restart the SERVER.

2.  Once the server is up and running you can go to the SYS:ETC directory
and type or print out the CONSOLE.LOG file.  This file can be very helpful
in trouble shooting problems during system initialization.

3.  CONSOLE.LOG will not be closed until CONLOG is unloaded.  If you down
the server without unloading CONLOG you will receive an error message at
the console prompt.
