Short: Phone log file standard (SGML format) V1.2 Author: i07m@zfn.uni-bremen.de (Kai Hofmann) Uploader: i07m zfn uni-bremen de (Kai Hofmann) Type: dev/c Architecture: m68k-amigaos It seems that there was no standard for log files that are used to log modem connections etc. As you can see programs like PhoneBill (by Raymond Penners) support very much different log file formats. So I decided to create a standard based on SGML (Standard Generalized Markup Language) which is defined in ISO8879 and on ISO8601 which defines date/time representations. SGML uses the ASCII characterset as base, so it can be used on every platform. On the other hand SGML gives the log file a real structure that is defined by the DTD (Document Type Definition). The advantage of using SGML is that these log files have a structure, so they can be easily interchanged with other SGML applications like databases, wordprocessors or calculation software. By supporting this standard with your software you give the user the possibility to create or evaluate log files with software from different platforms; and you get a standard that is easily extended should a need occur. To make this standard widely used, I provide a generator and a parser for this log file standard for free! Kai Hofmann i07m@zfn.uni-bremen.de
