Yes, that's my case.

I'm running INN, so again you're spot on.

That's what I was hoping you'd point me to. Ok when I get more time I'll
try and study MHonArc more carefully and see what needs to be done.
I was lucky with the wilma documentation that it gaves me all the
instructions necessary to get MHonArc running with glimpse, and except for
a small mistake on my part everything was running in an hour. That makes
things much easier!
If I succeed in getting this to work I'll let you know.
