Hello, IMAGE users worldwide:

Ken Sletten (SIGIMAGE Chairman) prepared several handouts, which
were distributed during the SIGIMAGE meeting today.  Here are the
PDF versions, which I prepared from Ken's masters:

Jeanette Nutsford did the work required to update the SIGIMAGE membership
roster and asked for a show of hands regarding the election of officers (the
consensus was to leave the current calendar, which calls for elections
during the Spring of the Northern Hemisphere).

We had the pleasure of listening to a status report from the IMAGE Lab
by Jon Bale.  Jon described the soon-to-be-released (currently in Beta)
version of IMAGE which increases several IMAGE limits (i.e., you may now
have 240 datasets, 1200 data items, 64 paths per master dataset, as well
as datasets larger than 80 gigabytes).  Jon took careful notes regarding
an enhancement request by Rick Gilligan of CASE (who needs to be able to
determine the run-time version of IMAGE via SOME simple non-privileged
mechanism, such as a CI variable).

We also enjoyed a nice informal talk by Dave Wilde, CSY's Research &
Development Manager.  For many of the attendees, it was a wonderful
opportunity to match several faces (not to mention the voices and the
expressions) with the appropriate names.

Thank you, HP, for a job well done.  Keep the good work up!
