I don't remember the name of it at present. 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 However, 1.9x is out-of-date since 1.5 years now.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.
