Re: Command line switches for aeskulap
Hi,
I'm just the Debian of aeskulap which means I can just build the code.
I'm not a user of this package. I just know that there are two other
DICOM viewer in Debian ginkgocadx (in Debian stable, but not unstable
any more) and amide.
I'm forwarding your question to the Debian Med mailing list where other
people might give some better hints.
Kind regards
Andreas.
