Re: syslog -> NT event logger mapping


/speaking from ignorance

what about the insertion strings? Can't cygwin just have a single message
file with a single message, that is nothing but an insertion string?

If it needs to be registered for each, well that could be a simple
register_syslog exefile.exe

And yes I'd be willing to put some effort into making it happen.
