Ok, no wonder it wasn't working right!

So then, I would have the ogcNavTestGauge, upon initialization,
open the sockets?  And in Render(), read the socket and
calculate the display?  That would work, and I guess I was
trying to be too tricky in duplicating another DataSource.

Wilco.  That sounds much easier than what I was trying to do.

Yes.

Would this functionality be of interest to anyone else?  Would
you want it into cvs?
