Re: Ways to use special overloaded functions

[corey taylor <corey dot taylor at gmail dot com>]

  I would like to thank everyone for their involvement in helping me
pin-point the issue.  I would like to especially thanks Eljay for his
in-depth involvement and emails.  I believe that  I can make-do with a
solution now without major shifts in our library.
