Hello,
Thank you so much for working with me on this. The RSS reader I have been trying
is at http://www.rssreader.com and is version 1.0.88.0 It is a free RSS reader
and seems to work very well. It has a username and password system, but I am not
sure what and how it will support with ELog. I have been successful in reading an
open logbook with no passwords.
Thanks again,
David Egolf |
