[WriteLog] Determining Best Rate/Hour

[Jerry Pixton]

Randy, et al

Help

Downloaded this nice utility. Tried to run it against naqp log after saving 
per your suggestion as ASCII. Time is in column 3 (Sequence, Date, Time) so 
I enter "2" on the command line per readme file. First problem, you have to 
use short DOS-like file names (less than 8 characters). OK, get the program 
to run, copies file lines to output file BUT rate counters are all ZERO.

Did any one get this to work recently? What am I not doing?
