[Logic] LOGic7 (copying reports and log forms)

[Self]

Hi everybody:

The reports and log forms are just files, and you can copy them 
from LOGic 5 or 6 to 7.

The log forms are in logic5\logdata, or logic6\logdata\logforms, and 
get copied to logic7\logdata\logforms. For LOGic 6 and 7, click 
Forms/Log forms/Manage Log Forms.  This will get you in the 
proper directory.


Please see the notes on importing log forms in Help under 
Appendix/Notes for LOGic 6 users.

Reports are in logicX\report  (substutute the version of LOGic in 
question for X).  Note that reports have two files per report--a .REP 
and .FPT.  There is also a Manage Report Files button in any of the 
Run Report menus--reports/log for instance.

Let me know if any questions.

Tnx & 73,

Dennis WN4AZY
