Haven't tried it yet, but read the Docu.

I've been using my own FixViewer, built in Perl/Tk for a couple of years now.
I parse log files directly, and have add a few additional features to it.

Your version (based on QuickFix) will be more useful than mine which can only 
be used for file logging.

But I did have a few features that where not difficult to implement and at the 
same time extremely usefull.

I was wondering if the log viewer is OpenSource so that I can add them to 
yours.

Some of the features:

- grep function during load. Lets you load all messages which have 
"PLC2006000128" (Client Original Id).  Usually this is all you need to 
debug a problem, as the value is on NOS, and all ExecutionReports...

- Export to CSV.  With this option the main window (or the selected portion 
thereof) is exported as CSV, which you can load into Excel (or openoffice) 
and include in documentation / emails / problem reports, etc.
