[MINC-users] brain-view??

[EJ Nikelski]

Hi Jason,

   I shall defer to you on Inventor versus VTK issues. I assumed its death
due to its lack of presence and current documentation (not the look).
Assuming that no one from Alan's group objects, where might I find the most
current source and perhaps a make file? I would be perfectly willing to
cobble together a bit of documentation, if that would help.

-Jim
