Hi Al,
SPLAT and SoG are now embedded as Mark says, which is good for things like
windows where instantiating other applications is trickier, so you can
probably look at them when the time comes, but, the real reason I'm
responding is that if you do this you'll need to throw away your local
copy of DIVA. I've created a thirdparty package that you should now use
instead.
Cheers,
Peter.
