I guess I still am handling it.

I have been working on one. I'll try to put it in the epics documentation area
on the web next week.

There were complaints that the files would fill the disk when alh
was continuously running for long periods of time and that the old
records in the file were not useful.

Use the "-m 0" command line option.

There was a bug fix for STATCOMMAND committed on 7/1/98. You may not
have the latest version of alh.

I'll have to add a "silence forever"ed feature.
