Thanks for the suggestion. Sadly, it builds, but doesn't run. I get some
cryptic 106 error. I sure can't wait to get UNIX of some sort in the
workplace. There is an old box sitting there just begging for Linux or
FreeBSD to be put on it. :) 

I've gotten some other suggestions from other folks too, but so far they all
have issues with running under Windoze right now, so if you or anyone else
have any other ideas, let me know.
