tuens out that the first log file was causing the problem. Elconv would just hang 
on trying to convert it. renamed it, reran elconv, reload service and 2.51 elogd 
and all was working as it should.


> Have a working copy of 1.35 running on NT4 server.

> Copy back the 1.35 elogd.exe and everything is fine - I can connect and add

> Copy 2.52 elogd.exe and nothing.
