RE: Problem with page counts

Well Cygwin is a big help, thanks... Only it now raises more questions!

One thing which is odd is that analog is reporting quite high usage of
Netscape 4 which seemed odd and so caused me to look further. So analog
says: 

5 172430 	2.00% Netscape 
  170370 	1.98%   Netscape/4 
  167023 	1.94%     Netscape/4.06 
  3281 	0.04%     Netscape/4.0 
  41       		    Netscape/4.77 
  3       		    Netscape/4.5 
  16       		    Netscape/4.76 
  2       		    Netscape/4.61 
  1       		    Netscape/4.05 
  3       		    Netscape/4.7 
  1645 	0.02%   Netscape/7 
  1643 	0.02%     Netscape/7.2 
  2       		    Netscape/7.1 
  414     		  Netscape/8 
  371      		    Netscape/8.1 
  43       		    Netscape/8.1.3 

Most of it seems to be Netscape 4.06 which indeed would be old. So I tried:

grep 'Netscape/' *.log > netscape.log

I then used Excel to summarise netscape.log and come up with...

user-agent	Total
Netscape/7.1	2		[matches analog]
Netscape/7.2	1695		[analog says 1695]
Netscape/8.0.4	5		[missing from analog]
Netscape/8.1	387		[analog says 371]
Netscape/8.1.3	43		[matches analog]
Grand Total		2132		[way off as analog sees lots of
Netscape/4 traffic]

grep does not find any 'Netscape/4' strings at all. Note some counts
correspond: Netscape/8.1.3 is 43 under both counts, Netscape/7.1 is 2 under
both counts.

Is there user-agent signature mapping going on within analog that is
relating some string[s] other than 'Netscape/4' to be Netscape v4 user
agents? These figures will be used to derive browser compatibility tests and
so I'll be challenged on my Netscape 4 figures and so want to be certain :-)

Thx.../Iain

Can you install Cygwin?
