Hi folks -

The IAC has been porting the Khoros image processing and digital signal
processing module suite into AVS.  Every applicable khoros module is 
now an AVS module.  However, with over 200 modules, it is very difficult
for us to test them all with the -extremely- limited man power available.

Once completed, these modules will be made available through anonymous
ftp at the IAC.  The first release will be October 1.

Basically, we need people willing to beta test a subset of these
modules.  A knowledge of image or signal processing would be nice, 
but only an interest is required ( i.e. myself )

Please respond if you can help out,

Thank you -

Terry
