Mark's the expert on the format...
I wonder if there'a a way to do loghead setting in an option...
(hmm, seems expressions don't work in the data file)

I don't like the use of non-ascii characters

I don't like the hard space, manbe instead use %%{at}CHAR[32]
(with two % signs) or use ` ` (a space with back-quotes)

 GM> The above change eliminates some redundancy within the log file:

mark was pretty adamamt that the format was important.

but what does that change do?
