In short, elog.e already exists.  I created it a long time ago. I don't
think
it ever made it to the archives. But, I'm not the first or last to create
such
a system.

PROBLEMS:
1. Logging everything to file will make a large file or you can limit it to
    the last 1000 lines or something.
2. Logging everything will dramatically slow down the program with
    lots of disk activity.

Have you  looked elog.e   When running and tracking every move.
There is way too much disk activity. But if you limit the places you use the
logging. The activity drops dramatically.  You limit the logging to the
areas
of suspected problem. You can switch it in and out of logging mode.
That means you could provide a debug switch for when you want to log
what is going on.  The log won't tell you want happened. But it can tell
you where it happened.  Exactly where.  You can tell how deep you are
into the routine.
