please could you be a *little* more careful about such
claims or either proof your assumptions.

The version 1.9d of http-analyze has had some problems under
certain conditions (wrong setup, Netscape Fasttrack/Enterprise),
but 1.9e did correct this. However, 1.9x is out-of-date since
1.5 years now.

http-analyze does *not* generate substantially other results
than for example analog or a plain `wc -l' on the logfile.
There might be differences if it comes to certain interpre-
tations of `pageviews' and `sessions', which depend on the
individual setup (sessions are unique sites over a freely
configurable time-window for example), but the number of
hits, files sent etc. are actually the same as in any other
log analyzer package.

Best regards,
Stefan
