Robert,

Thank you. Works perfectly. The only assembler I was ever good at was  
IBM 360/370 assembler. My knowledge of PPC assembler is not even  
rudimentary. If you or some other PPC guru have some time, please  
explain how to identify framework functions that need parms passed in  
the assembler glue versus those that don't.

For anyone following the thread, just substitute Robert's glue code  
and all is well. Also, DateString and TimeString can be removed from  
the code since the intent was to find a replacement for those  
deprecated (as of 10.4) calls.
