Thank you Park for responding. Tomorrow when I get to the office I am 
going to try to recompile following your previous post, and this last 
post. With any luck I am going to throw it up on a few different spots 
on the web so perhaps it will get out there a bit more.

And yes, I wish your message was archived, but I could not get to it via 
the following:
   http://www.ruby-talk.org/cgi-bin/scat.rb/ruby/ruby-talk/161578

Thanks again,

Zach
