RE: Log printer the sequal
This is
complete. Or more to the point we think its
complete. We'll see if Texas agrees on
Wednesday.
The logs are not yet
combined as was hoped, but "everything" is now logged to the real-time log
printer, which was the cert requirement. Combining the logs is about a
third complete, and a good idea, so this work might yet appear in a
future release, just not sure when.
To use the Texas log
printer feature, install a printer driver for your line printer. Then
create the registry entry "LogPrinter" under the GEMS Settings registry key,
with the printer name as the value. GEMS will then start spewing log
information to the printer the next time it is started.

Its Texas
certification season again, which means log printer requests. We
currently support logging of the poster and accuvote servers via the log
printer, but not the user log. Texas wants to see "everything"
logged.
The plan is to
combine the user and server logs, and eliminate the Log subdirectory.
This should help with auditing. The Log subdirectory seems to get
deleted at the most inopportune times. Hopefully we can achieve some
other log improvements along the way; specifically, support for the
really long log entries that are currently truncated, and the ability to print
a range of log entries.
We hope to have
this wrapped up by 1-15-00.
