Blair,

   Here is the much need out put that you need. Let me know what the
next steps are.

   As for SETools is running version 3.2.1 and everything with it run's
correctly.

   A thought to keep in mind which orcallator.se should be running the
one that comes
   with SETools or yours. Why have so many?
