<sigh> you had me excited there - i recall seeing that line in the examples,
but could not remember putting it in my own code. but when i checked, it is
there. i place it right at the start of the code, even before opening any
sql connectors or anything, then all output is just by printf().... would
you recommend any other way, like write direct to stdout or something?

regards, Mike.
