I have asked Fred Pacquier who maintains the web pages to put something on, 
but he hasn't replied.

Basically you simply run "elconv" in the directory where all the *.log files 
live. The only option is the "-v" flag for verbose output. If you have 
several directories with log files, you run it once in each directory.

Well, that's how it should be. All other systems I know like Windows NT 
Login, Linux login etc. are case-sensitive, so we should follow that standard.

Ok, put on the wish list.

Put on the wish list as well.

From Version 2.1.2 on you have the option "ROptions = ..." for that.

Has been fixed in 2.2.0

Weired, the icon is displayed in the search page just as "up.gif", and the 
elogd server should get this from the current themes/default/ directory. Try 
http://midas.psi.ch/elogdemo/Forum/up.gif . So where do you get your two 
slashes from?

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