Hi All, It would be great if you guys could pool resources and decide which tool to advance as the standard Radiance picture viewer for Windows. Then, we could re-introduce it to the source tree and keep it up to date in future releases. Likewise for rvu, which I would prefer to be a driver connected using the existing call mechanism.
