1.0------------------------------------------------------------------------

VBLOG is a program designed for reading logfiles of VBoard BBS - systems.
VBLOG searches and shows the CHAT - and systemlogfiles with clear
colors (that you can choos yourself in the configuration file)

1.1------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
 VBLOG is easy to use:
 VBLOG (enter) starts the program.

 If you don't have your VBOARD - environment setting set, your .CFG - file  
 is illegal or some other error occures, you'll be shown an error message 
 telling you some stuff about this error :)

1.2------------------------------------------------------------------------

  VBoard Logfile reader uses a configuration file to determine the colors
  it uses.          
   VBLOG's configuration filename is VBLOG.CFG, and it MUST be in your
  VBOARD - directory, or VBLOG will not be able to find it.
   If you don't have a VBLOG.CFG - file, VBLOG uses the default colors.
 
 The format of VBLOG.CFG is fairly simple:
 If, for example, you want to set the chat - color for sysop to yellow,
 you'll add a line similiar to this into your VBLOG.CFG - file:
 CHATSYSOP=YELLOW   (Or chatsysop=yellow
                     CHATSYSOP=yellow, chatsysop=YELLOW or how ever you
                    prefer)           

 The maximum length of the configuration file is 30 lines, where you should
 easily be able to put some or all of the following settings:

 CHATUSER=             Color used for user in chatlog    
 CHATSYSOP=            Color used for sysop in chatlog 
 CHATINFO=             Color used for information in chatlog
 LOGIMPORTANT=         Color used for important messages in systemlog
 LOGUNIMPORTANT=       ---"" ----     unimportant messages in systemlog
 LOGERROR=             ---""-----     errormessages in systemlog
 LOGNEW=               ---""-----     new events etc. in systemlog
 LOGNORMAL=            ---""-----     normal messages in systemlog

 (all of them followed by the desired color chosen from the following:)

 BLACK
 DARKGRAY
 LIGHTGRAY
 WHITE
 BLUE
 LIGHTBLUE
 GREEN
 LIGHTGREEN
 CYAN
 LIGHTCYAN
 RED
 LIGHTRED
 MAGENTA
 LIGHTMAGENTA
 BROWN
 YELLOW

If one or more of the settings is missing (like CHATSYSOP=  for example)
VBLOG uses their default colors.

This package includes an example VBLOG.CFG - file
