I took a quick look and it seems to be an easy target for packaging (at
first sight only the manpage seems to need some corrections/additions.
However, it would be great to have a set of data to test its proper
functioning. The manpage refers to a 'phantom10.mnc.Z' file (for the
tissue segmentation template), which is not available. As I understand
it, I could easily generate one with 'fast' from FSL. However, I also
need to specify parameter files (tissue.prm, ...). While the manpage
describes them, there is no example in the tarball...
Do you have by any chance a set of such files to test mrisim?
In that case I would volunteer to package it. Otherwise I currently
cannot afford to fiddle with it right now.
Cheers,
Michael
