thanks for the upload. i've installed the files, and made an entry in
the catalogue repository for the package.
Users may view the package's catalogue entry at
http://www.tex.ac.uk/tex-archive/help/Catalogue/logreq.html
or browse the package's directory at
http://www.tex.ac.uk/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/logreq/
The catalogue entry will first appear (on the web) overnight tonight.
