Yes, Analog does not use or process that field.

Porbably. Or a script that actually replaces the entries with something
distinguishable.
Just out of curiosity, why is this "confusing [y]our scores"? If a user goes
through 5 steps of a cgi script / asp page that POSTs to itself, doesn't that
mean 5 page views for the user? Or doe that pages POST to themselves without
feedback to the user? In that case, I would suggest that maybe the asp script
designs need to be reconsidered. :)

:) Acutally, grep IS available for NT, as part of the cygwin package of
unix-tools for win32. Check around the cygnus site (they always move it and
keep trying to get you to pay for it, but it's in there somewhere for free).

There is a setting for Analog that does this:
304ISSUCCESS ON
I don't know if it's doc's anywhere, but it's in examples/big.cfg if you look
in your distribution.

WebTrends' products are notoriously slow, especially on large files. There
are many commercial products available to give you specious data for your
marketing team. If you want to contact me personally, I can give you more
info (let's keep it off the Analog list :).
