Unfortunately, Changi doesn't produce any logfiles, but uses a syslog daemon to create them. The Changi package doesn't include a syslog daemon and the one, that is available for OS/2 locks its logfiles, making it impossible for Shrink to reduce their size. Worse, the syslog daemon available for Windows NT doesn't even create any logfile.
That's why most people won't ever use it. Not many of them wonder about its existence, because many do not even know that it exists.
Take it as an act of deviance, that this tool hasn't been removed from the package.
To avoid accidentally calling less powerful programs, Expire calls Exsort, the name of which this program has been renamed to.
Sure, you can call most programs with option -do and force log messages being printed on the console. But remember, that some programs call other programs in the background without passing that option.
