************ PUTLOG/2 v 1.00 ************
 copyright David L Etheredge  1994 

Putlog (Dos Version) and Putlog2 (OS/2 Version) are programs designed to help 
logging and tracking the usage of computer programs and time. The commands 
can be added to batch and command files and will log the date and time that the file
is run.

For example: in the OS/2 Config.sys the following is added to show the date and time 
that the system is booted.

                      CALL=C:\PUTLOG2.EXE /p! OS/2 Booted

A similar line can be added to the DOS Autoexec.bat file to show when Dos is booted.

                      CALL=C:\PUTLOG.EXE /p! MsDos Booted

                      CALL=C:\PUTLOG.EXE /p! Windows loaded
                      CALL=C:\PUTLOG.EXE /p! Exit Windows 

Putlog	Prints the date and time along with other command line input to the StdOut.

	This can be redirected into a file, a printer, com port, etc. 

	FORMAT: PUTLOG2 /p! line of information  >>device or file

	The /p in the first argument will cause the following character
	to be placed in front of the time and date, all other text will
	follow the time and date. The '&' character is not allowed in OS/2.

	EXAMPLE ... putlog2 /p# This is a test >>test.log
	  puts '# Sat Aug 20 03:42:33 1994 This is a test' into the file test.log 

NOTE: the single redirection '>' will print only the last line and deletes all previous.
         while double redirection '>>' appends the line to the file
