what does the output look like? I think it wants

in<cr> (integer)
out<cr> (integer)
uptime<cr> (integer)
name<cr> (string)

(I may have the last 2 reversed). Anyway, check your that your output is
4 lines. If it's not seeing the out value ...

OT: can someone recommend a recruiter/staffing company that has contacts
in center city? I'm kind of jammed up and really don't want to go to 
CareersUSA.

thanks
