Yea, that was my next course of action but having the configure 
parameter to specify the location of the library and then not have it 
work properly throws up a red flag as to the stability of the product. I 
plan to use this under a very heavy enterprise load and if something 
simple as the confgiuration management is broken, it make one wonder 
what else is. I have yet to receive any form or response from  Bala Bit, 
however, I do see where you can __purchase__ support.  Yea, where can I 
send my check.

Thanks though,
