Bill, 

I'm really glad to hear this.  Will you log errors with -e, too?  

Personally, I've never found the format of the error file very easy to
follow.  Do you think we have to adhere to it?  I suppose people have
scripts that parse the error file.  I wonder whether it's more important to
do what Sybase does, or to try to do better.  

Regards,
