RE: NAPLPS decoding (FAA weather images)

["Matthew S. Wood" <skibum@stampede.org>]

Nathan,

Nimbus is GPL, and currently based on GTK+.  After the first release, I'm

frontend, and possibly a QT frontend.

I'm interested in either the perl code, or converted C code -- as long as
I get something, I can get image support quickly :)
