Re: ui for single variable stored in mulitple files

[Zhangfan Xing <xing@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Jonathan,

Thanks for your quick reply.
I will study the files and get back to you for more questions.
Our server is temporarily running at http://eyre.jpl.nasa.gov/las.
I also helped to set up two more servers at
http://ecco-las.ucsd.edu/las and
http://channel.mit.edu/las
They are all done by rpms that I made for Linux.
Everything is in rpm except las5.0.tar.gz.
Ferret is packed as rpm too.
I am willing to put all these stuff on our server
so that people can install LAS server at a breeze.
Is there any license issue that I have to check into?

I also posted another question about popup_menu
for "select time" ui section yesterday. Any quick answer
for that?

Thanks again for LAS, a wonderful package.
