Stephen,
     
        I wanted to add an item to what you mentioned below.  Lately I've 
     been seeing multiple instances in my log files where a CRLF character 
     has been added to the end of the referrer field just before the ending 
     double quote.  Analog reads up to the CRLF and reports that portion of 
     the log file line as corrupt.  It then reads the remainder of the line 
     and reports it also as corrupt.  Example of Analog feedback follows:
     
     C: 0.0.0.0 - - [16/Mar/1999:12:57:02 -0500] "GET 
     /money/milpay/index.htm HTTP/1.0" 200 7270 "http://www.af.mil/careers/
     C: " "Mozilla/4.01 [en] (Win95; U)"
     
        Will your update take into account situations like this and 
     hopefully fix them?
     
     TIA

Subject: [analog-help] CTRL-Z in Windows

Is there anyone who knows about how files are stored on disk in Windows?

At the moment, analog on Windows stops processing logfiles if a CTRL-Z (ASCII 
26) character is reached, because this signifies end-of-file for
a text file. Sometimes logfiles get some junk in and then the file can be 
terminated prematurely.

Because of this, I am considering opening files as binary rather than as text on
Windows. I can cope with the CRLF -> LF conversion, but what I don't know is 
whether this will have any other undesirable side effects.
In particular, will I miss some genuine ends-of-files and start reading past 
the end?
     
Anyone know about this stuff, or know how I can find out?
     
Thanks,
