Hi all,<div><br></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; border-collapse: collapse; ">I answer below to questions about OTB before moving forward:<br><br>1. OSGeo-Live is targeted at applications that people can use rather<br>
than libraries that are included into other applications. Does ORFEO<br>Toolbox have a user interface (possibly command line interface) that a<br>user can interact with and try out ORFEO Toolbox?</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; border-collapse: collapse; "><br>
