Hi John,

I don't have an answer right OTTOMH, but the 10.5.3 update might make  
a difference ( it was a major update )
Assume your results with SimpleBlocks demo are FB-compiled and not  
FBtoC-compiled. Right.

I'm still new to 10.5.3 ( and 10.5 in general ), so I can't offer any  
suggestions. If not for the purchase of a new iMac a few weeks ago, I  
probably would have delayed my upgrade to 10.5.
