Thanks. Thats useful to know.

The reason for the earlier question is that we are trying to use Elog to store 
data in a form we'd need to store more 1500 characters in more than one field.

Is it possible to get around this problem by having more then one main text field 
per record?

thanks

Paul

No, not at the moment. You can increase the 1500 characters by recompiling elogd, but
at some point you will hit the stack limit and elogd will crash. I plan a major
redesign with completely dynamic memory allocation, thus permitting any number of
characters on any attribute. But this will take a couple of months or so.

You can easily use multi-character conditionals, up to 256 chars.

Harry Martin wrote:

The documentation describing the use of conditionals uses a single character (letter or number) for names of conditions.  I don't see any update/change to that rule anywhere in the docs.

I have been using multi-character condition names successfully.   I find these are easier to use since they can be more descriptive of each condition.   It works, but I am concerned I may be doing something that might not be supported going forward.   (It is simple enough to change these, but I'd prefer to know if this practice is acceptable.)

Thank you, again, for this fine (and, may I add, fun?) tool.  I'm having a good time with it!

Could we update the doc for this?

Has been fixed. Will be included in next version.

...because it has been fixed in meantime (revision 2.41). I have not made a 
new release since I want to fix the elog password submission first. In 
meantime, you can get the actual version from

Hello,

I'm observing the same behavior with ELOG V2.6.5-1844.

Is there a fix for this?
