	Thanks. I will definitely look into that as a solution. I
do appreciate your confirming what I discovered AFTER I looked into
things. I'm also at a disadvantage due to the fact I was at the site
(700 miles from me) with proper equipment for 6 months and asked the
owner to test,test,test,test,test. When he signed off on it, I left
everything there so I don't have a test unit. Oddly, right after I
left came the "I never mentioned while you were here, but........."
items, of which this is one.

	I've contacted Brainslayer about this already. His answer back
in Jan mentioned something about bugs (I'm not sure the details, might
have to do with the next part), and that its not "big endian and 
arm/xscale safe". 

	I'd package up something myself, but because I need to turn
this over to another individual who isn't as proficient as I am, it
has to be something community supported and upgrades always
available. So "rolling my own" as it were isn't an option. I'm also
a consultant (Uncollected payment as of yet) so while I can state
what I would do given my prior experience and the level of quality
I would want the service to be, he and his pocket are making the
final decisions. 

		Thanks, Tuc
