This is not your error; it is a warning that some NQXML code is doing 
things the old, deprecated way. NQXML was written in the days of Ruby 
1.6. With Ruby 1.8, using strings instead of regular expressions is 
deprecated. I will take a look at updating NQXML when I have time 
(hah!).

If your investment in NQXML is not too heavy, may I suggest switching 
to REXML? This may sound funny coming from the author of NQXML, but 
REXML is (a) included with Ruby now and (b) better than NQXML.

Jim
