This is LogSTiK, a tool for logging all STiK calls into a file. It is a 
beta version, I'm still thinking about further improvements. 

LogSTiK may be started at any time _after_ STiK has completed all 
initialization. Thus generally it must be started from the desktop, 
which is not bad because it is not intended to be there permanently.
Use the program TERM.PRG to remove LogSTiK again. Note that programs 
that install, and use, their own copy of the STiK TPL structure, must 
be terminated before TERM.PRG may be called if they have been started 
while LogSTiK was active. If this is violated, then any action carried 
out by that unterminated program will eventually result in a system 
crash. TERM can't do anything about that. Using an own copy of the TPL
is not the generally behaviour of STiK clients, though, so normally you 
don't have to worry about this.

LogSTiK recognizes if it is started while another copy is active, and 
denies installation then. Similarly TERM now checks whether LogSTiK is 
installed, and tells the user if nothing was to be removed.

Once started, LogSTiK logs all STiK calls along with parameters and 
return values into the file STIK.LOG which is in the same directory 
LogSTiK has been started from. The file may be deleted or renamed 
during operation, LogSTiK will immediately create a new one.

Note that a LogSTiK log contains all STiK traffic to and from your site ! 
This is true for confidential e-mail as well as passwords that are carried 
via TCP, for instance. The password for your ISP account is safe, however, 
because it is only handled by the Dialer, which does not use STiK to send 
the password. Be very careful, when giving log files away !

This software is free of charge. Distribution is limited to persons
that are members of the STiK developers mailing list.
