Finally got time today to run the code though some tests.  Everything is
looking good, including the LIMITs for paging we talked about a while back.
I'll be back to using this pretty regularly next week so I'll let you know
if anything comes up. 

Thanks again,
Kevin

John,
        Sorry for the delayed reply, this sounds great.  I'll check out the
latest svn from sf.net tomorrow and give it a go.  Thanks again for looking
into making these additions.

        Also, I will be switching from Cable to FiOS (FINALLY) in the next
couple weeks.  I don't anticipate much down time for the Development Oracle
DB, but if you have any connection problems let me know.

-Kevin
