20000310:: NIDS radar in XCD (response)

Bryan,

>I guess we can start holding our breath now....

I regard Dee's response as positive.  I guess in the McIDAS world, XCD
has to know how to file individual products instead of leaving them
in either a binary (HRS.SPL) or textual (*.XCD) spool file.  If they
really do adopt some/all of the work I have done, then _perhaps_ they
will be forced into thinking about the nature of dynamic data sets.

I will remain hopeful until it is proven that I shouldn't.

Tom
