I saw a post (https://stat.ethz.ch/pipermail/r-help/2008-January/153086.html) where you stated you were using R to do some apache log analysis. I was about to embark on such a project . Is it posted anywhere (or could you drop it to me ?) I'm sure you are as busy as I am, if your code is open and you dont mind me looking at it , I would greatly appreciate it , if nothing else give me a good starting point for using R. thankyou doug twyman
