OK, I have changed my log, and the md5/checksum (didn't get
your email in time sorry).
I don't suppose I can easily revert these hacked files?
Or alternatively fix it so "tla logs" actually displays
according to the log?
I feel like my archive is permanently tainted now, somehow
dirty - I didn't realise this was such a bad thing to do.
If anyone knows, be much appreciated,
