That's fantastic news!!!  :-)

That would be great.  There's someone else on debian-science with whom
I was speaking who was thinking about doing that, however, if you get
the tuits, I don't think he'll mind.  I'm going to copy this to
debian-science so that he knows.

Thanks for the error report, this was a known problem and has been
fixed in the CVS version of xmds; see for example:

BTW: I didn't mind you sending your message to me to the list.  Many
thanks for your investigations and your feedback.
