Hmmm, it is a wonder.  Our welcome text was not significantly longer (about 20
chars longer) so perhaps . . . ?

Thanks, will recompile and report back.
  680   Wed Sep 1 03:42:22 2004 Question filantorofilantoro@yahoo.comQuestionAll2.5.42Locking entries
I have a question about ELOG. Let's say after the user finishes his shift 
and passess on to the next user on duty. A staff member would want to look 
through the entries and vet them. The staff could lock the entries to 
maintain integrity of the information. How can that be done with ELOG? Can 
you enlighten me. Thank u.
  693   Wed Sep 8 15:48:47 2004 Reply Stefan Rittstefan.ritt@psi.chQuestionAll2.5.42Re: Locking entries
One possibility is to use the option "Restrict edit time = <hours>". This way
an entry can only be edited let's say 8 hours after it has been created.

Another way is to maintain two logbooks, a "scratch" logbook and an "archive"
logbook. Users would put their entries into the scratch logbook, the staff
would examine it and move them to the archive logbook, where all users only
have read access to. To move entries between logbooks, you have to put the
"Move to" command in the configuration file like:

Menu commands = Back, New, Edit, Delete, Reply, Find, Move to, Config, Help

I have found the reason when will it terminate ,
When a user is not found on the server will hang in version 2.5.3 and in 
version 2.5.4 it will terminate by itself as show below.
