[WriteLog] Installation Problem

[Gary AL9A]

That makes no sense to me, but then that goes for most of the things Windows 
does!  If you're still running V10.31C I would strongly suggest you upgrade 
in the near future.  Lots of changes and options have been added since 2002! 
I'm sure you'll find the newest version runs just as reliably as your old 
friend does with the same familiar interface and the advantage of being able 
to get help from the user community that is by and large running the new 
stuff.  Glad you finally got the install to work.

73,
Gary AL9A
