Perhaps, but I went through an hour worth of error messages before I 
got to the first one that even mentioned WriteableBin.  Certainly I'd 
already given up on Numeric by then.  In any case, none of this is 
meant as any sort of complaint at all, just a constructive FYI since 
whatever I run into 30 others are likely to run into as well.
