Hello Matt,

Sorry for replying so late. I'm away in a short vacation in Germany, so
reading mails has to go to level 2 priority. :)

About your problem... In order to get the sonar geometry you should query it
first with queryGeometry (), then check in a loop if the geometry has been
read from the Player server using isPGSTReady (). If isPGSTReady returns
true you should be able to get it using getPLCT () as a PlayerSonarGeomT
object (don't forget to import javaclient.structures.* !).

That said, it would be best to upgrade to JavaClient 1.6.2d, since I'm
fixing bugs on a daily basis nowadays. The CVS has been left behind, but I
will upgrade it as soon as I get back to the campus, sometime at the end of
next week.

Cheers,
Radu.
