[Difx-users] Availability of difxcalc

[Walter Brisken]

David Gordon at Goddard is the maintainer of this.  He is the best to ask 
these questions to.  The code as I understand it shoud not be treated as 
open source, so you might want to get his reading on that as well before 
proceeding.

As for the state of testing, I think that is in quite good shape.  VLBA 
may switch to it as a default for new projects in the next few months, 
though the roll-out plan here is not yet established.
