Could someone clarify this?  I am admittedly ignorant about most MINC
things (in my usage, it is merely a dependency of a higher level
library), but I find it odd that the MINC1 API supports MINC2 files.  Or
am I missing a distinction between 'API' and 'library'?  Does the MINC2
library provide two APIs?

I guess what I'm getting at is the following: if one wants to support
both the MINC1 and MINC2 file formats, is the MINC 2.0.18 library/
download sufficient or is the 1.5.1 library also needed?

Thanks,
