Beeps are my favorite debugger. They are so easy to use and I know when and
where they will occur. I can't figure out the other debuggers.

Anyway thanks for the help. I knew exactly where it was crashing, just could
not tell why. I finally found the problem and it wasn't in the code (well, not
exactly). I was trying to read an empty file and had not checked for this
condition prior to reading it, thus causing the error.

Thanks
