Gopher Log Analyzer 3.4

What is it:
glog will allow you to analyze your gopher log files. Hopefully
supplying you will useful reports/plots/histograms. It is very easy
to use, and compile. It should compile with any standard ansi compiler,
and now it should even work under VMS. (thanks Dennis R. Sherman)
To compile: (assuming gcc)
gcc glog34.c -o glog
How to use:
glog -h will display the options :). But as a short example.
To create a [H]ost report, a [D]ata report with detail of [H]osts and
width of 132, a plot of [T]ypes with basename of "test", and finally
a histogram of t[I]mes. The log file is called gopher.log. Don't forget,
reports always go to stdout, unless the -o options is used.
% glog -rH -w 132 -rDH -f test -pT -gI < gopher.log | more
Tested on:
Amiga DOS, SunOS 4.1.3 (purify 2.0.3), Ultrix 4.2A
gcc 2.3.3 and higher was used on all platforms.
Features:
* The command line is parsed as the reports/plots/histograms are generated,
so that it is possible to change options for each separately. But options
are NOT reset for each new one.
* Produces reports/plots/histograms on the [D]ata, [H]osts, day of the [W]eek,
data [T]ypes, T[I]me, and [M]onth/date sorted (ie. sorted by date).
* Produces detailed reports on any thing you can produce a normal
report for. Yes, you can even produce a host detail report of a
hosts report. (But it doesn't do you much good :)
* Change the width of the reports.
* You can specify the filename for plots, it defaults to gopher. (The
program appends a .dat, and and .run to the name)
* You can request as many plots as you want. (But remember to change the
filename or you will overwrite the last plot)
* The program is now a lot easier to add new types of reports to, you
only need to add 3 short routines, a variable, and edit 2 functions.
(Well, maybe it is simple for me. :)
* Can select starting and ending month. (Sorry no wrap around)
* Average/Estimating can be done with the -aX option. Possible values
for "X" are [E]verything (default), [Y]ear, [M]onth, [W]eek, [D]ay, and [H]our

bug fixes: John-David Childs -

* Fixed up main() routine so that: errors on the command line (or -h
as the first parameter) cause glog to print the help information and
abort.
* Fixed PrintHelp() routine so help message is more understandable.
* changed FILETYPE character from ' ' to 'I' (What about Image?)

Slight bug in ProcessLine dealing with searches fixed.
3.1 7/17/93

adds some features of the old glog that were removed by mistake.
* Supports all known log entries now. (I was missing search, binary,
and someothers)
* Can now have a tIme report
* The report presentation is a little better
* Can specify a starting and ending month for the whole command
with -s <num> and -e <num>. These are the only options that
are used for the WHOLE command. The rest are from left
to right.
TODO:
* Fix up plots some more
* Make some documentation
* Improve error checking
* Allow wrap around starting/stoping months.
If anyone has any ideas or suggestions please send them to me.
