Hi Everyone,

A while ago I asked around looking for a tool to convert W3C Extended Format
logs to ISA Format logs (mainly for use with WebTrends Firewall Suite).
Hearing and finding nothing I decided to write one.  It's a Perl script and
the usage is described below.  If you use it I would appreciate if you would
give me some feedback on how it works for you.  I've converted half of my
logs so far and no problems, but I would be interested in hearing how it
works for someone on the east side of GMT :-)  And of course, no warranties,
guarantees, etc etc etc...  Probably won't work straight out of the box in
UNIX because of hardcoded path info (I was too lazy to worry about that).
I've tested it with ActivePerl from ActiveState (www.activestate.com) on NT4
and Win2000.

Usage: w3c2isa.pl [-qv] [-h count] -t GMT-offset -i inputfile [-o
outputfile]
Options:
        -q              quiet mode, no output
        -v              overwrite existing output file without confirming
        -h              print hash marks to monitor progress, one mark every
                        <count> lines
        -t GMT-offset   integer timezone offset from GMT including +-
                        Use 0 for GMT (no offset).
                        (example: -5 for Eastern)
        -i inputfile    name of W3C Extended Log Format input file.  If
                        inputfile is a directory all files
                        in the directory will be processed and output files
                        will be saved in that directory with a
                        prefix of ISA-.
        -o outputfile   name of ISA LOG Format output file.  If not
specified
                        the output file will be saved in the same
                        directory as inputfile with a prefix of ISA-.
                        Ignored if inputfile is a directory.
