If analog --version doesn't give a message like
  This is analog version 3.3/Unix
  For help see docs/Readme.html, or http://www.statslab.cam.ac.uk/~sret1/analog/
then it's not 3.3.

I see what you mean now. But also, some items can appear under two different
names (%m, %M). Or be selected by logfile header lines.

On the reports page, it says, under "Other Reports", "Whether you can get all of
these reports depends on what information is recorded in your logfile." My thought
was to include a cross reference with the LOGFORMAT commands for each report listed
so you could understand what data was needed by Analog before it would produce that
report. For example:

 The Host Report lists all computers which downloaded files from you. (%S)
 The Domain Report lists which countries those computers came from. (If you only
get ("unresolved numerical addresses", see the FAQ.) (%S)
 The Request Report (the example above) lists which files were downloaded. (%r)
 The Directory Report lists which directories those files came from. (%r)

However, as there are other dependecies (e.g. %b gives byte counts for these) maybe
that's not feasable. Also, it might clutter up the reference too much.

Yes. It would make it much easier if links went to bookmarks/anchors within the
page.
Especially when there's more than one instance of the word (requireing Find,
then Find Next, etc), the bookmark can help guide the erader to the exact spot
where the topic is covered.

I don't really understand what you mean here. The LOGFORMAT isn't an issue,

I was wondering about this. My concern was not too make the page so long
that you were just as well off reading through the whole documentation
anyway. Anyone else got an opinion?

I've wondered about this. It's really an issue for the whole documentation.
I've avoided doing it so far because sometimes I move things around and it's
difficult to make sure all the references to them stay correct. I reckon
people can always press CTRL-F (or whatever). But what do other people
think? Would this make things a lot easier?

Hmmm, sounds like you've still got a copy of 3.11 somewhere which you're
running. Type
  analog --version
to be sure. Or if you're on Unix you can type
  which analog
to find out where it's getting analog from.

Here's a typos I found on the reports page:
overall statstics -> overall statistics

Also, on that page, it might be useful to list, with each report type, the
LOGFORMAT commands/data that Analog needs to generate that report.

On the quickref, how about showing some examples. It helps speed understanding
of the format syntax.

Thanks for the files. They look great and should help a lot.

Both files (especially reports.html) (well, especially _both_ of them!)
are exactly what I need! 

One additional suggestion - would it be possible to link from the
command names in quickref.html and the items in the index to named
anchors within the files the links go to? That would be much more useful
than having to search the entire page for the command name.

thanks much!

Thanks for that, I will take a closer look at it tomorrow.

But one question. You're writing:

"At the end of the report you can see which version of analog produced the report, and 
how long the report took to
run."

I have installed analog3.3 into the same dir as analog3.11 was. But
now the analog3.3-output tells me that it is made with analog3.11.
I don't know from there 3.3 gets this information.

[analog-help] New documentation

1999-06-24 Thread Stephen Turner

I have written a couple more pages for the documentation, in response to
those people who wanted more reference sections.

I've made them available on the web, and I would welcome comments on them
before I package them up in the next version.

You can find them at
  http://www.statslab.cam.ac.uk/~sret1/analog/docs/reports.html

Thanks in advance for any comments.
