About Just A Frequency Logger (JAFL)

The original idea for this program was taken from the clalerlog.bas
program and changed to suit my need of logging radio scanner related
information from a number of different brands and models of radios.

JAFL has been written in Just Basic V1.01 using the least amount of
lines of code possible to keep it both as simple and easy to fix / add
features / debug and to also make it as quick to use as I could.

JAFL stores all the entered text in a JAF file in the same folder as
where the program is ran from, please keep this in mind if you need to
re-install the program.

The only file level access the program has to the computer is via this
JAF file.

All the code in this program has been checked and rechecked and from
all the testing myself and others have done using it across many
different Operating Systems it is not known to cause any problems or
contain any viruses / ad ware / spy ware but as I can't test it on
every possible system setup "YOU USE THIS PROGRAM AT YOUR OWN RISK"   

If you do find any issues or problems with it then please contact me
at the email address at the top of this file and I will try to help
you to get it working if I can.

If JAFL does close because of an error it will create a file called
error.log in the JAFL folder, when reporting any bugs or issues please
include this file.

JAFL also has a "secret" support menu which can be accessed by a code
for error logging and fault reporting, I will only be giving out this
code if you have a fault and you want to send me the details of this
to help in solving your problem.

Please contact me by email if you have any ideas or extra features you
would like to see added or changed.
