I wonder why anyone want to do that under a permissions-limited

I must have missed that 3 seconds. But at the bottom, there is a line
of dashes that never changed for the duration of the activity. I
believe it was prefixed with a label having to do with "analysis". I
am trying again with specificatin of "*" in the file inclusion list.
About the log file, you're right. You need another "analyze" after
normal boot. It generates c:/FRAGLIST.HTM, which can be saved as
text. Turning off the switch to produce HTML doesn't generate a text
file, so I guess it's HTML or nothing.
Fingers crossed with "*" in the file inclusion list.
