>=20

joe,

the format for the output would be something similar to this:
Element Name	Element Type	Date of Change	Change
lan-sw1			WS-C3548-XL		3/11/04			device added
lan-sw1			WS-C3548-XL		3/17/04			interface FastEthernet0/15
															+ description ghost-srv =20
															+ switchport access vlan 303 =20

basically, the changes column needs to have what was changed (whether an
interface, an acl, global, etc), and then what was added/deleted/changed

thanks

--=20
A common mistake that people make when trying to design something=20
completely foolproof is to underestimate the ingenuity of complete
fools.
