Comments

SYSLOG writes a line consisting of "System boot at <time> on <date>" to the file C:\SYSTEM.LOG. If you have the CONFIG environment variable set, it also adds "%CONFIG% config". There is currently no way to change the file it writes to.

SYSLOG, BT and SDLOG all work best if the TZ environment variable is set. If it is not, they tend to produce garbage. TZ should be set as below:

SET TZ=TTTHH[SSS]

TTT is a three letter code corresponding to your time zone.
HH is the number of hours + or - from GMT. Pluses and minuses may be included.
SSS is a three letter code for daylight saving time/summer time. This bit should only be included if your computer is set to summer time.

For example, if you live in the UK you should use the following:

SET TZ=GMT0

SET TZ=GMT0BST

if it is British Summer Time.
