I think there's a bug in Analog since it seems to only behave like 
you say if the log file is called "WebSTAR.log", any other name and I 
get the error messages.

However, maybe Analog is the wrong tool for the job in this case? 
I'm trying to analyse a W3C Extended format log file generated by 
router software rather than a Web server.  I'm interested in seeing 
summaries of activity and sites visited by the client systems on my 
network that access the Internet through the router software 
Vicomsoft Internet Gateway, which is quite different to web serving. 
Web serving is all about incoming traffic whereas routing is all 
about outgoing requests.  Perhaps the log produced by such an 
application, whilst conforming to one of the logging standards, 
produces output that Analog can't really help with?

If Analog is the wrong tool for analysing router traffic (but great 
for analysing my web server traffic!), can anyone suggest an 
alternative for this routing purpose?

Cheers
