      Yes I can confirm that it is a true statement in case of Log Parser.

        Sounds like the software we had to develop, now it is too complicated to use due to unspecified feature request after another.

          I agree that it is a great library, but its distribution rules are too limiting for me to put it into a product. THe end user would have to install the Log Parser themselves - you cannot distribute it. For me and the company I was working with at the time, this was a deal breaker.

                            Uh, I've written software for an industry that promises that as well. I dare say, it succeeds a heck of a lot better. And quite frankly, anonymity, rather than "logging", is the preferred mode. :laugh: Marc
