[MINC-users] New packages available..

[EJ Nikelski]

Hi Andrew,

   I'm currently building the tools from source ... and I have a
question about Szip usage in HDF5.  Are we building HDF5 to use Szip
for both compression and decompression? Or are we using zlib only for
compression? I would hate to build everything without Szip locally,
only to find that I am unable to read BIC-generated volumes.

Thanks,

-Jim
