Then I'd have to put the depth, score, time, and PV all on different lines?

The only reason I didn't do that is because it would make it look so big. :)

They weren't already?  They should've looked something like this:

Depth      Score     Time     PV
5(5)       30        T=0      pe4e5 Ng8f6...
6(5)       21        T=1      ...
6          23        T=1      ...

and so on.  If you view them with word-wrap on, that may be the problem.  With
word-wrap off, they should look OK.

I only wish I could've gotten to the rest of them, but they were just taking way
too long.  :( I may format them the same, but then leave the move format the
same, because that's what takes the longest to edit.  If I could find some nice,
easy way to convert their PVs to SAN, I could do all the logs relatively
quickly.
