Excellent. Steve: Is it possible that you can package up a LGPL fortran
slalib and put it somewhere on the ftp server? I assume that the software
store version will not be LGPL'ed since that won't match the version on
the CD (but will be for the next CD). I only ask because there are people
waiting for the LGPL SLALIB and I don't want to tell them that they have
to wait 6 months for the next CD.
