Hi Paul,

I apologize for not getting back to you on this last week...

We would certainly be interested in taking a look at what you have
developed!

We love that about you guys :-)

Interesting.  When Steve Emmerson, the Unidata LDM developer, returns
from travel (tomorrow or Friday) and gets caught up, I am sure that he
will drop you a line about these developments.

I think that before committing to distributing your work we need to
take a look at what you have done and see how it might fit in with our
LDM and possibly THREDDS work.

I am CCing Steve on this reply so that he will have some background in
what is available.  I will be out pretty much unavailable for the
entire week next week (on travel through Thursday, and meetings on
Friday).

Thanks for letting us know about the Java JNI interface to the LDM
queue!

Cheers,

Tom Yoksas
