Good question... I was about to get a new one.

I wrote a SIEM agent (I can't even remember what that acronym stands for now), which extracted important security-related stuff from the logfile and sent it to a third-party monitoring program which ran elsewhere. The data I extracted definitely included Major 6 / Minor 9 records (and specifically function 7 usercode Modify entries, which is what you have here).

Thanks Paul -- Copywrite is indeed a very useful tool. But I remembered that I also have a working (and more recent) Dev Studio environment, which also happens to contain a copy of the code (albeit version 1.0.0).
I'm just working out the best way to get that from there to here, and then I'll post some snippets. I have been a little lazy in my decoding, in that I only seem to extract the usercode, and not the detail; but at least it's a start...
