Hi Levene,

I'm trying to understand the usage model.  I'm not understanding why 
somebody would export the log into a spreadsheet, when the logging 
software can more expertly manipulate the data.  Can you describe a case 
where this is useful?

If the locale is set correctly for Germany, I expect xlog to replace 
"Jul" with the German word for the month of July.  If that isn't 
happening, that's a bug I should probably fix.  Is this a problem?

Thanks, and 73,

Andy
