[nos-bbs] Changing JNOS log file name

[Boudewijn (Bob) Tenty]

Yes that is possible, I changed the name to "nos.log"

Open main.c of the source with an editor and look for the line....

sprintf (ML, "%s/%2.2s%3.3s%2.2s", LogsDir, cp + 8, cp + 4, cp + 22);

- Around line 1101 in function nos_log() -

I changed it to:


   /*    sprintf (ML, "%s/%2.2s%3.3s%2.2s", LogsDir, cp + 8, cp + 4, cp 
+ 22);  */

       sprintf(ML, "%s/%s", LogsDir, "nos.log");       /* 28Sep2014, 
Boudewijn(Bob) VE3TOK, changed log name to nos.log */


Recompile!

73,

Bob VE3TOK
