        Thanks so much! That's exactly what I needed.

        If I can help you with anything UNIX related, PLEASSE let me know.

        As to why not use Logmate, here are at least some of the reasons.

        1. This project is to handle input from many more systems that just IA (AB
        Flame safety systems, Fox iA, Sectrum etc.)

        2. We will be deploying this system eventualy in perhaps as manyas 20 to 25
        locations. We will be reuseing PC's that the IS group has taken out of service
        as to old, and slow to run any flavor of Windows (ealrt Pentium machnines)

        3. We will be able to provide web based access to these alrams via a CGI script
        for the operations suspervisors, and ODBC access to our process control
        engineers.

        4. Systms in our mill tend to live rather long lives, often extending beyond
        the life of comercial software providers. This makes it very dificult to
        maintain these systems, since we dont have access to the source code, and the
        vendor is no longer in businees, or no longer supports the product we have.
