Hello Sean,

Thanks for the pointers.

I will try both versions if I can get 2.1.1 to compile.  I cannot get 
2.1.0 to compile at this time due to changes in code since the last time 
I compiled over a year ago.

I will get 2.1.1 to compile first.  I do agree from the mail list that 
the latest code is what is needed for the ImageMagick issues.

 From the date on the 2.1.1 code, it was just a few days older than the 
one I downloaded.
