The reason they are set up that way (pointer indirection to actual DLL/EXE) is because NT is multilingual ready and the eventvwr needs the ability to display the message in the language (german,french,yiddish,,kanji,etc ) in which the user is comfortable with. Also the date/time format vary by country hence eventvwr has to on the fly display stuff based on the user's locale. For fun, in W2K change your date format by going to "Start->Control Panel->Regional Options->General" and change your "locale" to "Finnish" and then start "eventvwr" and notice the format of the date its will be different. The whole world does NOT run on English or the US date/time format Ashish Fidelity Investments > -----Original Message----- > From: dgillettat_private [mailto:dgillettat_private] > Sent: Monday, March 04, 2002 6:12 PM > To: loganalysisat_private > Subject: RE: [logs] About Windows NT/2000 logs > > > On 4 Mar 2002, at 19:19, Steve Wray wrote: > > > OMG, after checking, I find that these > > log files arn't even text files! > > > > How on earth is one supposed to analyse them? > > (the provided applet barely counts for log > > analysis...
