LogWin simply opens a window on whatever screen you want it, displaying a
ListView Gadget, which entries can be controlled via a logfile or with
the supplied Notify-program.

Purpose is to have ONE single LogWindow for all programs running in the
background. I direct TrapDoor's output (nodenumber and sysopname) to the
window, put some notification of my BBS on it, type in a "received Fax"
if this happened, tell the window that UUCP-Mail has arrived for me...
and so on - you know.
I now can run TrapDoor and BBS totally quiet - TDGui is my TrapDoor GUI,
LogWin is the LogWindow...

I hope you like it and send me some mail 'bout it. I tried to make it
easy to use, easy to understand and system-friendly.

LogWin may be redistributed in any form as long as neither the code nor
the documents are changed. Please do NOT charge any fee for copying it or
for the program itself.

Usage: LogWindow SCREEN=<screenname> LEFT=<left edge> TOP=<top edge>
                 WIDTH=<x-size> HEIGHT=<y-size>
                 LOGNAME=<optional name of logfile>
                 FONT=<fontname.font> <size>

Defaults: Screen=Workbench (NULL)
          Left    =10
          Top     =15
          Width   =233
          Height  =132
          LogName ="logs:logwin.entries"
          FONT    = SystemDefault Font

Usage: NotifyWin Sync/S Text

Defaults: none necessary

With NotifyWin you tell LogWin to reread the logfile (NotifyWin SYNC) or
to add a line to the file and the window (NotifyWin ....). If you
specify both SYNC and TEXT the text is added first and reload done after-
wards.
