I must be missing something. Isn't that exactly what the software store
does for classic starlink? If you ask for NDF, you also get all the stuff
which NDF depends on. This is what we should have for the java stuff.
As an actualy example of the need for this, Paul Harrison (who used to be
"one of us" a decade ago - a Starlink application programmer [Dr PONGO]
based at Jodrell - and is now an Astrogrid application programmer based at
Jodrell) recently asked about using JNIAST. Mark, did you give him some
directions about how to get JNIAST? If so, what were they?
