Please do not bother - use the glm(7D) driver instead. The code in ncrs and glm come from the same base, but ncrs was never maintained. Work was done a few years back to get glm working on x64, and that is a *much* better solution. I did log an RFE to get ncrs(7d) EOF'd, but it's in limbo - brings up the whole "how do we migrate from one driver to another" set of problems. James C.
