FYI, here's the reply from Heurikon.

It works, altho I haven't a clue as to why.  One can go on for days about the
wisdom of invoking which things in what .h files.  I thought that our setup
was a fairly generic release from WRS, but since I didn't originally build
it (or install the release) I could be wrong.

In anycase, if anyone else wants to use these boards, it would be a good
idea to squirel this info away in a "safe place.

I'm impressed with the support I got from Heurikon on this.
