[vtkusers] Re: VolView-1.2 on Linux: RH6.2 or similar, please!!!

[Lisa Sobierajski Avila]

Hello Dieter,

We intend to release a beta version of VolView 1.2 with a more recent 
(essentially RH6.2) release of Linux some time this week. I'll send a note 
out to the list when it is available so that you can try it out if you'd 
like to.

Lisa
