!Syslog was originally by Jon Ribbens of Doggysoft ages ago; Tom
Hughes took it over and 32-bitted it. Freeware from
https://compton.nu/riscos/syslog -- current version is 0.20.
(Note that you don't need it with RiscOS Select because it's built
in; the Select version is "!Syslogs" with an -s.)
Put it in !Boot.Resources and doubleclick it to activate it. Next
time you boot it will be activated automatically.
!Wimplog is an extension by Theo Markettos, because !Syslog(s)
unfortunately omits to trap Wimp messages such as those niggly "Abort
on data transfer at XYZ". Current version is 1.02 (dated 2003):
http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~theom/riscos/othersoft.html
Also put this in !Boot.Resources.
Error messages will be stored in the directory !Syslog.Logs -- I find
it handy to keep a shortcut on my pinboard and to view the directory
in date order so the latest message is at the top.
Both utilities contain a helpfile.
