Yup.  My custom report is a clone of the balsheet equile version and 
main was in that.  I was going to say that it works on Linux and then I 
remembered that I tend to just compile and build without uninstalling 
the prior version.  That must explain why it continues to work on my box.

Made a diff on my code versus the original I cloned from and found that 
main was replaced by utilities.

Report now works on Windows (and on Ubuntu).

Thanks.

One of these days I'll do a clean uninstall and see what is still 
hanging around!
