Daniel,
     I was having more basic problems with sword.  I was unable to set
the swordpath as directed.  I had it working once using all lower case
but not sure on / or \ in file path.  I tried all combinations.

     Also I was not able to compile the code supplied as fail.cpp.  I
could not see the point that they were trying to make.  Have you made
any progress with that aspect.

         Regards Ian.
