Thanks for the explanation.  That helps.  

Analog 3.11 does have the section about MS IIS logfiles.  It says to use
MICROSOFT-NA.  It also says "There are also various third party extensions
to the Microsoft format to include, for example, the browser and referrer.
Analog can't automatically diagnose these: you need to write a logformat
string for them."  Here is where I get stuck.

An example of my log file.

Gee, this list is a great help.  Thanks.
