This file can be used to transform ALMA logs files which are in XML format to human readable ASCII format. In order to make the transformation successful, you have to enclose the XML data in the log file with <Log>...</Log>.
Here is an example of an ALMA log file:

Use your favorite XSL transformation tool. I prefer Oxygen. The transformed output will look like this:
