Re: [Openh323gk-developer] RopenLogFile() review

[Prokhorov <ko...@aa...>]

I do not object against necessity of rotation of traces!
I use system logrotate since beginning of May 2003.
Don't know how can be implemented logrotation on Windows
boxes, but on unix/Linux boxes there were no problems at all
while you have inserted rotation directly in GK!
As to Winzip - don't know, but wellknown Windows Commander
have plugins which allow to create or at least look through the following 
kinds of archives: .gz, .tar, .tgz, .rpm. Don't know what about .bz2, have 
not tried this kind, but I don't see any problem with support of archivers in 
the whole!
