Hi nate ;

i read this after i posted an earlier message.. i will try the one i had 
a problem with and see if it still dies on the march 22 snap. i will also 
send you a copy of the lib i was trying to build. This may take a day or 
two because i will have to download the application from the net via 
14,400 and then unpack it.
