Subject: [ANN] win32-eventlog 0.1.0

Hi all,

I'm happy to announce the first release of win32-eventlog.  This is a
Ruby interface to the Win32 EventLog.

Synopsis
========
require "win32/eventlog"
include Win32
	
handle = EventLog.open("Application")
	
handle.total_records # e.g. 916
handle.oldest_record_number # e.g. 1
	
# Read through every entry, inspecting each struct in turn
handle.read{ |elr|
   p elr
   puts
}
	
# Backup the Application log
handle.backup("C:\\Backups\\Application.bak")
	
# Clear the Application log, after backing it up
handle.clear("C:\\Backups\\Application.old")
	
handle.close

There's no write ability at the moment, but I should have that in the
next release.  See the "Future Plans" section of the documentation for
more details.

Feedback welcome.  Enjoy!

Regards,

Dan
