I'm not 100% sure, but vista is another image format. In some respects
it is similar to NIFTI but combines an ascii header and binary data in
the same file. It has the advantages of being able to store history
information in the file header. IIRC the format and associated library
(libvista) is really old. I'm sure it has been there even before Mr.
Gates though about his 'revolutionary' new product ;-)

BTW: I'm always having trouble finding the libvista upstream source on
the net, but I know that it is (or has been) there.


Cheers,

Michael
