And one other thing before you even start... First, if you're already running a version of CLG, and you want to upgrade to a newer version, you should uninstall your CLG program before you try to install the newer version. Click the "Start" button on the taskbar, select "Settings", then select "Control Panel." Once the control panel comes up, double click on "Add/Remove Programs." A list will appear of all the programs you have installed on your computer. Select "CLG" then click on the "Add/Remove" button. The uninstall program for CLG will start.
Once you've got the old version of CLG gone, you can install the newer version, and you should have minimal problems. The three steps for installing are downloading, unzipping, and running the setup. Let me take you through them...
Downloading - on this site, you may download the CLG program. Select the version you want, then right click on the link for the installation files. There are two sets of installation files on this site - CLG Version 2.0 (which only works with the Sept 2001 EM0074); and CLG Version 2.02 (which works with the April 2002, September 2002, and April 2003 EM0074). When you right click, a popup menu will appear. In that popup menu, one of your options is to "Save target as..." Select that option, and a file save dialog box will appear. This is giving you the option as to where you're going to save the downloaded file. Save it anywhere you'd like on your computer's hard drive (I'd suggest your briefcase - that way you can find it easily).
Unzipping - Once the download is complete, you need to unzip the files. Double click the icon for the downloaded file. The unzip program will start, and the actual installation files will be extracted. The file downloads for Version 2.0 and Version 2.02 will put the installation files in a folder called "temp" on your C: drive.
Running Setup - Find setup.exe in your "temp" folder. Double click on its icon to start the setup program. As setup is running it's looking for several system files - VB6STKIT.DLL, COMCAT.DLL, STDOLE2.TLB, ASYCFILT.DLL, OLEPRO32.DLL, OLEAUT32.DLL, COMCTL32.OCX, DOMDLG32.OCX, and MSVBVM60.DLL - and expects to find them in the system folder. If it doesn't, or if the file is too old, the setup program will try to install the current file. On your computer at home, this is no problem, and you won't even know it's happening. But at work, on a networked machine, there are certain permissions set that may prevent setup from being able to install a file. If that happens, you will need to get a system administrator to help you install CLG. The last two files installed are CLG.exe and CLG.HLP (the help file). The setup program will put CLG in your Start menu. If for some reason it doesn't (I've seen it fail to do so in Windows 2000), then you can always create a shortcut to the program by going into the "Program Files" folder, finding the "CLG" folder, then right click on the clg.exe file, create a shortcut, and drag the shortcut onto your desktop.
Using CLG with Shop Equipment Sets
Update - 31 March 2003 - Version 2.02 makes this process described below unnecessary. CLG, Version 2.02 will automatically find shop sets and assign them to the NSN on your hand receipt. Use this process ONLY if you are running CLG Version 2.01 or earlier!
This note directly addresses two shop equipment sets; LINs T10275 and T10549. There may be other sets in the Army inventory that also have a similar circumstance, but these two sets are owned by my battalion, and I'm (unfortunately) intimately familiar with them...
In both cases, neither of these sets are accounted on the property book by the NSN listed on the EM0074 CD. When you look up the line number in FEDLOG LIN T10275 has 9 NSN's, T10549 has 6 NSN's.
In the case of the 133d Engr. Bn., T10275 is carried on the property book as 4940-01-234-2322. This NSN states that it is "interchangable with 4940-00-159-8847" on FEDLOG. The NSN on the EM0074 CD for LIN T10275 is 4940-00-294-9517 which FEDLOG notes, "stock as 4940-00-159-8847." Since the Hand Receipt interface in CLG will not produce a match for this particular line item (The hand receipt interface is NSN sensitive), then the follow process must be used to produce the Master Component List (MCL) for ULLS-S4:
In CLG, use the "Select SC's Manually" option. Manually select the
NSN that is on EM0074 (in this case, 4940-00-294-9517). Allow CLG to
create the MCL.
In ULLS-S4, Load the Master Component List you just created in CLG.
After the MCL has loaded, ensure you are back at the Component Master
File Maintenance menu.
Select Add (number 2). Next, select End Item Record (number
1). The system will ask you for the End Item NSN. Enter the NSN
from your property book primary hand receipt. The system will
then display the End Item record for you to modify, and enter
the Nomenclature, Publication, and Publication Date as
necessary. Press when done. At the bottom of the screen
the system will ask you if you want to ADD ANOTHER END_ITEM?
[Y/N]... press "N". A screen will now appear, giving you the
option to create the MCL from an exisiting MCL. Select Copy
an Existing MCL (number 1). A list will appear. Scroll down and
select the MCL you just loaded from the disk. Press <Enter>.
The system will create an MCL that will match your hand
receipt, from which you may now produce a component sub-hand
receipt.
From all appearances, the Army is using only one Supply Catalog for this particular line item. All the various NSN's are interchangeable with a single NSN, which is the "Stock as" NSN which correlates with the EM0074 CD.
The T10549 Line is set up in exactly the same manner... The EM0074 has 4940-00-287-4894 as the NSN for the line, with has a "Stock as 4940-00-165-4021" note on FEDLOG. FEDLOG then lists the NSN we have on our property book (4940-01-006-3229) as interchangeable with 4940-00-165-4021. The same process as described above is the easiest way to produce component sub-hand receipts for this item.
Both of these particular sets are managed by B14 (Armament & Chemical Acquisitions and Logistics Activity, Rock Island, IL).
