[MINC-development] Welcome

[Robert Vincent]

Hi All,

Thanks for all of the suggestions so far!

To clarify what I mean by "automated tests", I'm speaking of code and 
scripts dedicated to the purpose of verifying the correctness of the 
library routines and utilities.

Also, to clarify about the 2GB file limit - my understanding is that 
this is a NetCDF issue caused by the use of 32 bit offsets within the 
NetCDF format.  The NetCDF official website mentions this problem and 
says it will be fixed in 4.0.

Jason and Steve mentioned that huge MINC files work fine today if the 
image is the last data object in the file.  I assume that this is 
because the existing MINC utilities never perform an lseek() within this 
part of the file.  Using a network or virtual file interface would 
probably change this.
