debugging log engine build request

[Bernard Devlin]

Hi Mark,

I've had a look at your stack, and I see that it simply a method to switch
on this undocumented feature that already exists in Rev.  My stack does the
same as this existing feature - only my method does not waste so much hard
disk space, and will produce a new log file every time Rev is restarted (so
that if the same sequence of events causes the crash then the log files that
were last modified at the times of the crashes should all end the same way).


I'm glad to know my work hasn't a complete waste of time.  I do think it
should be an engine-level feature, and should probably adopt a more concise
logging format.

If there is any interest in this let me know and I'll put my stack online.

Bernard
