 From what I've seen, it works similarly to our plans for MindIO.  It 
uses the win32 api, though, which would be a disappointment to Linux 
users.  It would take a lot of work to convert it, I think.  It doesn't 
have the application independence (and language independence) we wanted 
for MindIO, but oh well... anyway, since it's GPL, anybody could borrow 
code for other applications.  It would just be a little more work.

It seemed to run fine after I unzipped it, but the scope and spectrum 
objects don't work.  Maybe it just doesn't work with my video card.  I 
didn't spend any time trying to solve it, though.  Have you installed it?

I think we should put MindIO on hold.  Some of the issues we discussed 
might even be relevent to BrainBay.  It still needs a lot of work before 
it's complete.

Sure.
