Joe,

I have developed an OGDI driver in the past on top of the MrSID API.  The
API is easy to use.  However, I am not sure what you mean by ``develop
a viewer for GRASS''.  Do you mean a free standing viewer, distinct from 
the normal monitor architecture?  Do you mean a r.in.mrsid command?  I don't
think I would be up to a viewer, though if there is an easy way to plug
additional image formats into the existing viewer, I might be willing to
do that.  An r.in.mrsid command kind of misses the primary value of the
MrSID format.
