It isn't the cheapest thing around (think we paid $295), but we love
WebTrends.  Check the link on the bottom of the page at
http://library.idbsu.edu/  for examples.  Those are just come figures and
graphs for this month, and only represents about half of the possible data
points you can analyze.  And, you can do them in any format, as web pages,
hard copy, spreadsheet files, database files, etc, etc.  And of course you
can do your analyses for any period, across any type of file, etc, etc.
Obviously, it will do more than you probably want to know.  It is easy to
use and quite quick.  

Check it out....I think you'll like it.  As always, I'm only a satisfied
customer and not connected with WebTrends.

cheers
