Sorry, I missed the first email in this thread. Is this about the Globus packages I have
sponsored? There will be more coming for the ARC grid middleware (see www.nordugrid.org).
If there is anything I shall do about it then please tell me.

If this is not about computational grids but about .. say .. some geoinformatics bits,
then please rename the task :)

Best,
