Didn't quite do it but it gave me ideas to try.  My next programming 
day is Wednesday, so I'll be quiet for a few days :-)

I did solve a biggie today :-)  One of my beta testers for Phase I 
reported that "nothing worked".  Talk about a bummer.  And on my 
birthday of all days.

He was testing on OSX and my first thought was, oh man, you mean it 
doesn't work on OSX??

But he tried the Classic version and got the same result (bigger 
bummer, you mean it only works on MY computer????)

But it turned out to be a very small bug.  An option he chose that 
put 0 into a variable that should have been a very large number.

He figured it out on his own, to uncheck that option, and now he's 
happily testing away :-)

Interesting that my best luck with beta testers always come from my 
Macintosh Users Group.  So far I've gotten not one word of feedback 
from the beta testers who surfed into my website and applied.

I'm sitting on the Windows version until I know all is well with the 
Mac version.  Decided it's better to get one of them out the door, 
and THEN take time for the other one.

Current project (streetStack etc.) is a plug in for Phase I.  An 
addition.  Rather than trusting people to install the newer stacks 
(they may have a combination, where this stack is newer but that one 
is older), I'm creating an installer button that deletes the oldest 
stacks and replaces with the newest ones.

Well I'm off to celebrate my birthday :-)
