elogd -p 8082 -c /usr/local/elog/elogd1.cfg
elogd -p 8083 -c /usr/local/elog/elogd2.cfg

No, not yet. I put it on the wishlist. I'm looking for a C function which can 
doe lexical evaluations like

does anybody know such a function?

I vaguely remember there was once a problem with that date. So can you please 
try again with a recent version of ELOG?
