   That would be cool too actually. :) I was pretty sure (for exactly the
reasons you detailed) that it wouldn't be worthwhile though. It also
seems pretty hard to code something like that up. In any case, it doesn't
appear necessary for what I need here- please let me clarify.

   Unfortunately this is one thing that would NOT give the desired output-
at least I don't think it would. Say user A who has a huge site sets
things up thusly:

REQFLOOR 1%R
REQSORTBY ALPHABETIC
HOSTFLOOR 0R
HOSTSORTBY ALPHABETIC
FULLHOURLY ON

in mandatory.cfg is...
FULLHOURROWS 72

   It's pretty likely that if they have 30000 distinct files, their
request report would be pretty long, and a host report that's miles long.
(which is bad)  The ROWS config will limit them to having 72 lines in
their FULLHOUR report.

   Now suppose user B has the same analog.conf setup but their site is
tiny, having only 20 distinct files and getting 3 requests per day. Their
reports will all be reasonable lengths because even if every report prints
everything with a 0R floor.

   If I "force" REQFLOOR -100R on them, they won't get the report they
expect to see because it will always show the top 100 requests, regardless
of if they specified B or P. In most cases, this isn't a problem- but you
know how users are if you restrict their options. :)

   What I'd like to see is a similar ROWS capability for the time-based
reports added to others... a la: 
REQROWS 1000 
HOSTROWS 1000

   Is this clear? I guess I should really have said all this first. I
don't see any huge penalty to adding this, or a better way to achieve the
same thing, and it *appears* be pretty easy to do. Even if it's not
"officially supported I probably will try it, but I don't like to do stuff
like that without careful consideration.
