To all, My apologies the zip file on sourceforge contained xml with a typo that would cause the example to fail. This has been fixed. I hope this did not discourage aby of you too badly, pleas try again.

It was in the interst of helping create a community that I posted to this group. I appreciate the feedback I have recieved thus far.
