 FR> ! 14 Mar 18:47:06 BINK SYS00000006: GetCommState()

 FR> Out of the blue this error message popped up in the logs.  Now
 FR> every time I start up Bink, this error comes up and BT exits.

 NB> I don't see any errors whatsoever.. ?

the SYS0000006 entry is the error...

FWIW: the first character of many log formats indicates the line's severity... 
for binkleyterm, an ! indicates an error entry... many other systems followed 
this format, as well... i can't find a document with the ones that binkleyterm 
actually uses but the following section comes from frontdoor's logging setup 
secrrn in the fdsetup tool...

 ! Fatal errors

they were used for log analysis software... it made it real easy for the 
analysis software to run thru the logs looking for only certain characters and 
then tallying those stats...
