I want to use changelog.txt instead of ChangeLog

I want to use changelog.txt instead of ChangeLog

[Dan Jacobson]

The Change Log info page mentions nothing for folks who would rather
their ChangeLogs were called changelog.txt.

One finds
(defun change-log-name ()
  "Return (system-dependent) default name for a change log file."
  (or change-log-default-name
      (if (eq system-type 'vax-vms)
	  "$CHANGE_LOG$.TXT"
	"ChangeLog")))
but what if one is thinking ms-dos or "world wide web", where one
doesn't want capitals.

Wait, maybe (setq change-log-default-name "changelog.txt") will work.
Ok, put it on the Info page.  BTW isn't this header strip better than
one with a e-mail address:

2002-03-29  Dan Jacobson  <http://jidanni.org/>

As you can get more info from a fellow's website than waiting for a
unlikely perhaps email reply.

Tell folks how to do that in the info page with
add-log-mailing-address.
Right now you just mention user-mail-address.

By the way, this ZIPPY quote contains a SPELLING ERROR: If I cover this
entire WALL with MAZOLA, wdo I have to give my AGENT ten per cent??

Was the ZIPPY file SPELLCHECKED?

"ChangeLog" works very well on MS-DOS, believe me.  Emacs primitives
and the automatic truncation and upcasing of file names by the OS
take care of that.  That's a non-issue.
