Unfortunately I don't have a 64-bit compiler to try. Can you please check if
elogd.c has similar warnings or only regex.c? The ones in elogd.c I can fix,
but regex.c is straight from the GNU C library, so we would have to wait intil
they fix it. Or can you get it from the 64-bit C library? The point is that I
need the source code, so that I can compile it under Windows as well. Can you
try to compile elogd without regex.c, like 

gcc -g -O -W -Wall -o elogd src/elogd.c

If that works fine, we don't have to compile regex.c under linux. But I guess
it's still needed fot Solaris and other non-GNU Unix brands.

  elogd.c shows the same warnings.

  This works OK.
 

Date selection from the calendar widget does not work in Konqueror.  

Clicking on a date results in year being populated, but month and day are 
blank.

I use following Javascript to populate the date:

function submit_day(day)
{
  opener.document.form1.d3.value = "24";
  opener.document.form1.m3.value = "11";
  opener.document.form1.y3.value = "2004";
  window.close();
}

which workes everywhere except in Konqueror. If you tell me how to convince
Konqueror to accept this, I'm happy to put it into the elog code.

Could you implement a 'hide attribute' and 'sort attribute' config option?
While sort is probably not so easy to do the hide option would already 
be very useful.  What I want to do is to use elog to collect bibtex entries
which are then used to generate a bibtex file.  So, e.g. if the entry 
type 'Article' is selected I would like that all fields that do not make
sense are hidden.  Currently I just lock them.  The config looks like
this:

Attributes                  = Login, Bibtex Key, Entry Type, Address,
Annote, Author, Booktitle, Chapter, Crossref, Edition, Editor, Howpublished,
Institution, Journal, Key, Month, Note, Number, Organization, Pages,
Publisher, School, Series, Title, Type, Volume, Year, URL, Short Comment
Options Entry Type          = Article{1}, Book{2}, Booklet{3}, InBook{4},
InCollection{5}, InProceedings{6}, Manual{7}, MastersThesis{8}, Misc{9},
PhDThesis{a}, Proceedings{b}, TechReport{c}, Unpublished{d}
Required Attributes         = Entry Type
; ARTICLE
{1} Comment Author          = [required]
{1} Comment Journal         = [required]
{1} Comment Title           = [required]
{1} Comment Year            = [required]
{1} Locked Attributes       = Address, Annote, Booktitle, Chapter, Crossref,
Edition, Editor, Howpublished, Institution, Key, Organization, Publisher,
School, Series, Type


Instead of Locking the attributes, hiding them altogether would make the
entry form look much nicer.  
A further improvement would be to sort the attributes, e.g. for author I
would sort the like this, i.e. the more important entries first:

{1} Sort Attributes    = Author, Title, Journal, Volume, Pages, Year, Month,
Number, Note

Attributes not mentioned in the sort line could then be displayed 
in any order. 

Hi all,

We currently have Elog postings mirrored on to a majordomo email list. 
Invariably, people on this list reply to the listserv and not to the Elog. 
Has anyone tried getting emails to a listserv to autoformat and register as
proper elog entries.  Didn't see any mention of this in the docs or forums.

Thx 

hello, 

i need to use a perl script with LWP to automatically update our elog
entries. we use ELOG internally.

however, I am not sure what elog checks for when doing the post through
form. and the auto-submit script always failed and returns "200 EOF". i can
get to the login part and grab form entry. its only the submittion failed.

let me know if you need more info to help me solve the problem.

thanks.

What you can do is run the elog submit utility with the "-v" flag (verbose) and
grap the output. It's HTML code, but you should see any error message there.
