Thanks. :-)

Earlier today, I finished replacing a bunch of stuff in the interface portion of Logger. Instead of those parts of the program directly interacting with the logged data, they now go through the driver’s API. Now, there is nothing in the interface portion can do that could not be done by a 3rd party program using the API. This is great for a lot of reasons. First, any future version of the binary can work with the current or future versions of the driver. It also means the interface portion does not need to have similar code to the driver for reading or appending the log. That change along with the removal of ANSI output reduced the dual purpose binary by approximately 10%, going from 10k back down to 9k. 

I thought about moving the HTML output into a separate program. With all the CSS strings and character remapping data, it makes up about 1.7k of the of the binary. But, I really like it. So at least for now, it will remain in the main executable. 

There is really not anything else I want to do for version 1.0. So, over the next few days I’ll probably do a little more testing, maybe make a couple minor tweaks and fix any bugs if discovered. Most likely, release version 1.0 on Friday.
