Cnslog Abstract

Usage:	CNSLOG [LOGFILE]  Write out a shared log file to ASCII file.

DESCRIPTION:

	CNSLOG writes the contents of a shared log file to an ASCII file
	in the current directory.

	If the name of a log file is given on the command line, CNSLOG
	will copy the contents to a file of the same name (with a .DAT
	extension) in the current directory.

	If no command line arguments are given, CNSLOG enters an
	interactive mode. In this mode CNSLOG prompts the user for input.
	After each command is executed, CNSLOG redisplays the prompt
	for more commands. The following commands are supported:

	DIR		Prints a directory listing of all shared log files.

	QUIT or EXIT	Exits CNSLOG and returns to VMS

	logfile		Entering a log file name will copy the contents
			to a file with the same name.

ENVIRONMENT:

	To run CNSLOG, be sure to add this to your LOGIN.COM:

		cnslog :== $cns_intro_util:cnslog

PROBLEMS OR BUGS:

	This version of the program pauses periodically so that
	other processes can still gain access to the log file. Because
	the file can be updated during this time (that's why we're pausing!)
	new records may or may not show up in the output. And if they
	do show up, they'll probably be out of time/date order.
