LOGTOOL is still available. But on 6.5 you run it from the CI prompt.

There have been many programs written over the years to format system logs.
Most of them are MUCH better than LOGTOOL. However, most of them will only
format console logs.

We have a freeware program at http://www.beechglen.com named CLUE3000 that
formats console logs, optionally selecting console messages that contain a
specified string, and it runs on 6.5.
