4. Installation

  The software can be installed in 2 ways:

   The easiest way is to run the INSTALL program from the directory
    where it is located.  This will create a directory on your hard
    disk, copy all necessary files and selected configurations and
    create a desktop icon object if desired.

   A manual installation can also be done as long as all files
    required for program operation detailed above are present and
    located in the same directory.



5. Getting started
 
  Log file formats are created by selecting New from the File menu. 

  After selecting the communication program (See Support for
  obtaining the latest list of supported programs), typically only
  the Log File Path needs to be specified to locate the log file on
  the disk drive. 

  Notes:

   Be sure logging is turned ON in the communication software.

   The provided logging utility, InfoLog, can be used to create usage
    logs for communication programs that do not.
