Hi Earl,
Castor will work with Vector and List as well, I don't have any problems
using them, so I'm not sure what kind of issues you were running into.
If you have a small, complete example you can share (in a zip format)
that demonstrates the issue, please send it along and I can run it here
and try and see what the problem might be.
