Hello
Thanks for the help. It sort of works... it logs to the "Application
Log" if I use a pre-existing source (? not sure of the win32
terminology. It's all ass-backwards in my mind). It logs to a custom
source to a custom log. But it refuses to log to a custom source in
an existing log.
Either way, I've been slamming my ham with this (win32 specific)
problem since Saturday and I give up. There's a reason why I avoid
Windows like the damn plague.
Kudos on the library over all.
