Hi, Andrew.

Thanks for the context.

Right, I understand that.  But I'm (not very clearly) asking about the
case of writing to a file from an IOC using errlog and not depending on
another host.  Are you saying one can run iocLogServer on the same host
as the iocLogClient?  Will this work on vxWorks too?  I hadn't thought
of doing that.  This would be a new way (to me anyway) of writing to a
file from one IOC using errlog without depending on another host.

OK, so here's where I could benefit from using feller: If my goal was to
write to a file using errlog from an IOC and *not* run iocLogServer at
all (i.e. not on the same host nor any other host), I could use feller
to do this.  I think I've got it.

Thanks,

Lewis
