No, well done, Charles and I had sent a few e-mails back and forth about
this problem in the last few days/week and he also thinks he might have it
nailed, but with your work he will no doubt be able to go that bit further
to the v1.00 working on NT5 he said to me would be (hopefully) in the
pipeline.

I dont work with Visual Studio .NET 2005 so this would not have helped me
out, but I am sure I have it in .net pack somewhere, and its a reason to
check it out and fire up the minGW box.
