Re: Squid native log file analyzer (comments and suggestions needed)

Thank you for your posting and kind allowance to use your software. My
desktop computer is running Windows 95 and MS Internet Mail.
Unfortunately, all I can get from your mail is a file: att00290.dat

Can you please tell me how to extract the 5 files from this dat file? Or
is there an alternative to get the files, like from your home page?

I have checked your home pages and cannot find the answer.

Your help is appreciated.

Regards

Clement
