Thanks, Klaus. I was already suspecting that it wouldn't work with FROM/TO.
I tried FROM *:0700 TO *:1900 or FROM :0700 TO :1900 but this triggered 
syntax errors,
although it wouldn't problably very difficult to implement this as a 
feature, but I'm not sure how "frozen" analog6.0 is, anyway :)
I couldn't get from the link you gave me, though, in the first place, 
how this would lead me to a
means to preprocess the logs?

I could run a self crafted program that greps/seds/awks through the logs 
in the analog.bat job
and have analog.bat (.exe) work on the proprocessed files.

But I didn't find a config-keyword that specifies a preprocessor on the 
log file.
