Cool.  I'll keep that in mind as I try to improve it.  Currently, it
just overwrites the file every run, however my use case was programs
that run til completion, so that was perfectly acceptable.  Granted,
I've been toying with some server code, but even then I don't have it
running very long.  I first need to focus on replacing std.stream for
writing to the logfile.

Thanks.
