Hi Jim,


As the previous email said:

         Please update your CVS checkout of ITK.



If you are not using CVS,
you can also get the files through the Win-CVS portal:

     http://www.itk.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/?cvsroot=Insight

in particular in the directory

http://www.itk.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/Examples/Registration/?root=Insight

The two files in question are:

http://www.itk.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/Examples/Registration/DeformableRegistration7.cxx?rev=1.3&root=Insight&view=log
http://www.itk.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/Examples/Registration/DeformableRegistration8.cxx?rev=1.3&root=Insight&view=log




    Regards,


        Luis
