RE: Re[2]: Unicode Logging questions

Thanks a lot for your help.
This answers a few questions, and gives new ideas;)

At the moment I have Logging turned off by redefining the macros.
I think I will try to wrap the logstream isid a macro and see what happen.

Beside:
Thanks for doing such a great work with log4cxx.
I really like it - and its seems to get even better ;)

Best regards
ML
