Almost right. When you run Analog, it needs access to any configuration
files (typicaly ananlog.cfg and optionaly manconf.cfg), the domains.tab
file and one or two files from the lang directory depending on which
language you have selected. It must also have write permission to the
place the report is supposed to be sent.
The settings in analhead.h are defaults, anything except the manditory
config file name, can be overridden in the configuration file. I generaly
specify everything in the configuration file and ignore the defaults in
analhead.h. Of course thats lots and lots of configuration commands.
I have attached a sample configuration file.

Dr. Seuss books . . . can be read and enjoyed on several levels. For
example, 'One Fish Two Fish, Red Fish Blue Fish' can be deconstructed
as a searing indictment of the narrow-minded binary counting system.
