I've tried all available versions of soap from different
manufacturers and found the code to be soap proof.  The code
should now be able to work with any version of soap.

The only soap that I know of that doesn't work is the newest one
from Micro$oft.  I've ran it under a debugger and apparently it
breaks the kitchen sink on purpose!  I think I'm going to GIVE my
code to Caldera, then they can sue Micro$oft for anti-competitive
kitchen-sink practices.  Cant wait to see the suds when they
clean up.  :o)
