Hi guys,

    I think the discussion must have helped since I
could build with latest check out. I had been being
frustrated for days for the problem. This is really
great.

  Before I saw Daniel's postings here, I ordered
Daniel's book but I have not received it. People said
it was an excellent book. I hope so.

  Cheers,

   Zhou
