Chris,

Not very.  The problem was that I was doing a udebug call before system
logging had been setup.  This has the effect of sending the debug message
to the system log file instead of the file specified by the '-l' flag
or the LDM log file which is the default after system logging is setup.

You may see pnga2area debug messages in syslogd's log file.

>BTW, I've "transitioned"!  All seems to be working smoothly. :)

Sounds good.  By the way, the "upgrade" to the latest pnga2area should be
as simple as you FTPing the appropriate binar distribution; unpacking
just pnga2area, and using it instead of the 7.6.3 version.

>Thanks,
