Andreas and John,

Ok that was a lot more fun then I thought it would be.  And I understand
what John was saying, you pull your hair out until it actually works.  When
it did it was quite fun!

I parsed out the parameters and used apicall and it WORKED!!  FFI is pretty
powerful, I really like the form shifting it is much easier the VW!!  I
hadn't realized that you could use structures as parameters, it's very cool.

One of the things that really made it easier is I wrote a C++ app that just
prints out the final values of the parameters, it's a hack to keep from
having to look everything up.

Thank you for your help getting it to work!!
