This is complete. Or more to the point we think its complete. We'll see if Texas agrees on Wednesday.
The logs are not yet combined as was hoped, but "everything" is now logged to the real-time log printer, which was the cert requirement. Combining the logs is about a third complete, and a good idea, so this work might yet appear in a future release, just not sure when.
To use the Texas log printer feature, install a printer driver for your line printer. Then create the registry entry "LogPrinter" under the GEMS Settings registry key, with the printer name as the value. GEMS will then start spewing log information to the printer the next time it is started.

> Its Texas certification season again, which means log printer requests. We currently support logging of the poster and accuvote servers via the log printer, but not the user log. Texas wants to see "everything" logged.
> The plan is to combine the user and server logs, and eliminate the Log subdirectory. This should help with auditing. The Log subdirectory seems to get deleted at the most inopportune times. Hopefully we can achieve some other log improvements along the way; specifically, support for the really long log entries that are currently truncated, and the ability to print a range of log entries.
