>I guess this isn't necessarily a problem, but I have to add the _webservices class to the 2nd web server (that calls the 1st) in order for it to work. This adds 270k to the file size. It seems logical WS files should be kept much smaller than this.

270k? Thats not to bad.

>Does anyone have code to call a web services that does not use the _webservices class?

You can just open up the class and take the code you want if that'll work. It uses the SOAP tool kit directly:

oWS = CREATEOBJECT('mssoap.soapclient')
oWS.mssoapinit('http://www.foxcentral.net/foxcentral.wsdl')
?oWS.GetItems(DATE() - 5, 0, 0, '')
