Ken Brody/Richard Kreiss,

Thanks for the responses.  I really appreciate them.  I thought I was crazy there for a minute,
but Ken's explanation says it all.  We will look into the update.  Has anyone running under a Windows platform experienced any issues after getting the update, and what were they?

Again, thanks
Christopher Sellitto
