Rob, Joel, Chris, and others - Thanks for looking and investigating. The smart match operator should be a quick fix (thanks Joel). The issue with slashes has already evaded one of my attempts to fix it, but I'll hack at it again. The issue with Prima did not show up on my Strawberry tests, but they were on 32-bit Windows XP running on 64-bit hardware under Virtual Box, so something could be different from your setup. :-)
I'm back at work this week, so investigations shall commence in a few hours. Rob, your work here had helped a lot, and I'll try to reproduce your problem shortly. Thanks! David P. S. I've had trouble installing Prima on Mac when libtiff or libjpeg are present. Puneet has informed me that he encountered trouble with these as well, so I'll start hammering on that, too. If you want to try things out on your Mac, a clunky work-around is to temporarily uninstall those libraries, install Prima, then reinstall them.
