I need to write something that handles buffering for an nbs process a little better. Not sure what to call it - maybe "nbsbuffer" I ought to have it done by tomorow night so just be patient. ;) mjr. _______________________________________________ LogAnalysis mailing list LogAnalysis@private http://lists.shmoo.com/mailman/listinfo/loganalysis
