I guess I didn't make it clear enough in my original posting that this
project involves the customer's environment, not mine.  I don't get to
pick and choose the environments I am sent to work in.

A list member contacted me, did the work, and everything is fine.  Happy
customer, happy me, and a list member who took the time to earn a quick
$50.
