Ok, just checking.  I will fiddle around with running it interactively and see what
I get, plus I'll have a look at the setuser function under Solaris.

Just for grins, what version of compiler are you using under Linux?

Thanks again!

Ouch!
And just to add insult to injury, the same <table> structure doesn't even look the
same between, say, IE6.0 and FireFox 0.9!!

Stefan, keep up the good work!

Hmmm.  I like the little buttons with the pull-downs for selections. 
Unfortunately, I don't get that.  With a config of:

Find Menu commands = New, Find, Select, Config, Change password, Logout, Help, Admin
Menu commands = Back, New, Edit, Delete, Reply, Find, Move To, Copy To, Config, Help

my screen only shows the "toggle" and "delete" buttons.  Was there a recent rev
that allowed this to happen (I didn't see a comment on this).  

BTW, on a log entry screen, is the appropriate behavior for the "Move To" option
to show multiple "Move To" links (one for each logbook) or should there also be
pulldowns?  

Thanks

Well, I am running 2.95.3 - hmmm.  We have 3.3.2 - perhaps I'll try that and
see if there is a difference.
icon4.gif   URL bug in elogd.cfg, posted by Steve Jones on Mon Aug 16 23:49:13 2004 
Under 2.5.4-2 build1.460, when I edit the demo elogd.cfg the following happens:

- I start with
URL = http://cde-tx32-sds01.subdom.dom.com:8080/

- When I go to edit the global section of the config file, the *display* of
the string is changed to:
URL = <a
href="http://cde-tx32-sds01.subdom.dom.com:8080/">http://cde-tx32-sds01.subdom.dom.com:8080/</a>

- Saving this results in an error in that the rendered url is invalid.

Our current running version is 2.5.4-build1.413 and this behavior is not
evident.  I've looked through the diffs but could not identify the genesis
of this new behavior.

Thanks

I believe only through an edit of the C code and a recompile, as the values
are set as constants.  I think this might be the line:

#define MAX_N_LIST      100

So, yes, there exists a way and the ease of this way is dependent upon your
comfort level with changing stefan's code.

Thank you!
icon3.gif   Enhanced "eLog Version" Variable, posted by Steve Jones on Fri Sep 24 19:17:52 2004 
Stefan, would it be ok to add the "minor" revision level to the VERSION
constant?  I've been doing this after I download source just so I can keep
things straight, you keep cranking out versions ;->

EX: 
#define VERSION "2.5.4-4"
BECOMES
#define VERSION "2.5.4-4-1.483" or something like that?

Just a thought.

Thanks
