David Lawrence (tale@cs.rpi.edu) has a nifty-keeno log summarizer that works well. found it! ftp'able from rpi.edu. but it's not in perl, it's in awk -- the original credits go to Erik Fair. it's relatively amenable to being run through a2p -- you need to fix the split(///) to be split(/\//) and cope with a substr() that doesn't work because $[ is set. otherwise all is OK. it groks nntplink and newsxd too, which the original didn't. now I just need to convince nntpd to syslog things right.. --Ed Edward Vielmetti, U of Michigan math dept
