Re: NAPLPS decoding (FAA weather images)

Nathan -
I am very interested in getting this software -- I've nearly finished
nimbus, a clone of Cirrus for DUATS.  One of the key things that is
missing, however, is image support.  With your code as a reference, image
support should be a much smaller project.

If anyone is interested in testing nimbus, and giving me suggestions,
please contact me.

Thanks,

Matt
