Vincent, what's wrong with piping your log file through a little awk sript if you're not happy with timestamps in there and want to massage them a bit before processing? This way, if you want combined statistics from several mirror sites running in different timezones on different OS/server software, *you* fix the timestamps the way *you* want and then analog will just do its thing. What you're proposing involves creating a portable date-analyzing AI, botling it on top of a logfile analyzer, and praying it doesn't quietly screw up your timestamps every time you run the analysis.
