It's written in perl, so it probably runs on Win2K too. Unfortunately, I
don't have tar or gzip, so I can't test this (I'm on Win2K too). If
jdresolve will work across platforms, it would be helpful if someone could
make it available in .zip format.

Analog is a Log Analysis tool. Stephen has devoted a lot of time to making
it very fast and efficient at it's primary task. DNS resolution is not a
primary task of Analog, indeed Analog doesn't even try to do DNS lookups
by default, and it won't do a DNS lookup if it can find the address
already resolved in the DNS cache file. There are a number of
preprocessing tools that do a better job of DNS resolution than Analog
does by focussing on that specific task, and that's the way it should be.

jdresolve doesn't generate seperate copies of the original log file
either. Analog reads DNS information out of a DNS cache file, and
jdresolve (and other similiar helpers) create DNS cahce files.
