[Staging #BDC-768289]: RE: 20080203: LDM package (SOS)

Hi Luis,

Sorry for the late reply.  I was on travel until last night and was not able
to reply to your email.

No worries.  We are all very busy :-)

Yes, I remember well.

Excellent!  With Fedora 8 you should be able to run the GEMPAK binaries
that we provide.

Very good.

Yes, I am available.  Please send your questions as a reply to this message
so they can be included in our inquiry tracking system (where I moved the
message you sent to me personally).
