Jay,
I imagine it may be, as you say, some kind of compilation error on my part.
 It is running, using up CPU, but not generating even the first snapshot in
galaxy/ . Any idea the nature of the error you had? Or suggestions on how to
track it down? Unfortunately I need the 3D position data, not just the
video.
Thanks again.

Douglas
