  Yeah, that is what I'm doing.  I'm interfacing to some calls that have a
character array and I'm using the vector as the representation in the
scheme code and they rarely have the same element in them so the extra fill
for the creation of the vector doesn't get me anything.  Sorry for the
confusing post.

When will this be out?
