MI SDTS format - Dragon Slayers Wanted (fwd)

[Bruce_Byars at baylor.edu]

Hi Michel,

We are currently looking for another programmer to hire here
to assist with GRASS Development.  Thge Vector API is indeed
a huge task, one that will take a dedicated staffer full-time to
accomplish.  We are at this time working on budgetary solutions
that allow us to pull in a dedicated person for this task (as well
as two others in the mill).  Shall keep you all posted
