My mistake -- the SDTS update is coming out in the next issue of Clippings.
I've seen the article so much that I'm thinking that everyone's seen it.
As I don't want to post the entire article before OGF gets their crack at
it, my best advice is again, to check with David Stigberg at USACERL.  He's
been working on the GRASS-SDTS coding for a while.
