Re: [Logs-devel] rename Data_Sources files?

[Jim Prewett]

Hi Vijay,

I just copied those files from File-Follower_IMPL.low.lisp to 
File-Follower_IMPL_low.lisp so as to resolve the problem with Defsystem + 
LoGS that Suresh Madhu pointed out (Thanks Suresh!).

I modified the asdf and load-LoGS.lisp files to reflect the new names.
