Sridhar & Recai,

Thanks to both of you for the rapid and effective advice.  Fixing the limit corrected my problem.  
I think I last got tripped up this way 10 years ago...

I suppose that the advice to increase Mac OS X's default stacksize limit might make a fine entry 
in the FAQ or README file.

Thanks again,
Joe

I added a note in the installation instructions.

 Hi folks, 

I want to have Last day be a command in the List display, so I added:

List menu commands = New, Find, Import, Login, Logout, Config, Last day, Help

However, when Last day is selected, the command does not change to Last 2 days.
What is the right way to do this?

Thanks,
Mike

You have to put "Last x" in the menu, not "Last day". Unfortunately by default the label "Last day" does not show up. I fixed this in the current version. But you can yourself start this thing by adding "past1" to the URL, or by making yourself a bookmark in your browser. Like

then the "Last 2 days" will show up.

 Thanks very much, Stefan.

I did not know "Last x" was the appropriate menu option.

Announcing:  elog2sql

elog2sql was created to help translate logbooks created by the program
``elog'' from the native elog flat file format to a MySQL database.  I had a
need to have the elog data in a database, and it appears from the forum that
several others had a similar need.

 I created a set of perl scripts that will allow the translation of elog
logbooks into a MySQL database. The design and implementation of these
scripts are a simple one, and allow the one-time copying of a set of logbooks.

The elog2sql toolkit consists of two scripts. The first script, parsecfg.pl,
reads a elogd.cfg, and creates a sql file that will create a set of db
tables corresponding to elog logbooks. The second script, parselog.pl, takes
a set of elog logfiles, and creates a sql file that will enter the logbook
data into the database. The result is a copy of the elog logbook that can
used as desired inside the framework of MySQL. Attachments are handled by
inserting an entry of the attachment name into an seperate attachment table.
This allows multiple attachments per entry.

You can download the elog2sql program archive at
http://www.davidfannin.com/elog2sql/elog2sql.tar.gz . It contains the
scripts and basic documentation.  You can read the man page at

I know this thread was started 2003 but if anyone have this MySQL export script please attach it to this thread.

Thanks,

Pelle
