You're the best!

That did the trick.  Also, I got an error for my format being too wide
and thought about it then went back into logcfg.dat and modified the
CABRILLO-EXCHANGE value by removing the quotes to:

CABRILLO-EXCHANGE= # A 83 KS

And it works as expected!  I suspect that I am the first to use TLF in
SS for a long time so do apply this patch as I would consider that line
the culprit.

Hence why I sent you everything I had just to see if the problem would
turn up for you.
