WinVNC 4.1.1 logging

[Scott C. Best]

 	Sorry, didn't help: I tried setting the log parameters
after the -register switch, and it behaves the same as when I
put it before the switch: it parses the data (ie, if I mispell
a log type it correctly throws an error), but no log file is
generated (and/or no stdout window is opened). Commands were:

C:\Program Files\RealVNC\VNC4> winvnc4 -stop
C:\Program Files\RealVNC\VNC4> winvnc4 -unregister
C:\Program Files\RealVNC\VNC4> winvnc4 -register Log=main:stdout:10 
C:\Program Files\RealVNC\VNC4> winvnc4 -start

 	As for why I'm not just adding options to the registry,
I must have misread your earlier post about this:

http://www.realvnc.com/pipermail/vnc-list/2005-April/050192.html

 	You seemed to imply there that setting DebugMode and
DebugLevel in the registry doesn't enable logging in the VNC4
series. Exactly what registry entries should I set to activate
logging in 4.1.1? Alternatively, can you provide the exact
command-line sequence that you use to generate log files?

thanks,
Scott
