Re: [APML] An Introduction

Hi Rob:
Tested any good films recently ?<VBG> I would be happy to see the scope of
APML expand, especially given the cross-over of processing techniques for
images made by both methods. I'm sure that everyone on the list has seen
your article in S&T and most of us have visited your site, coming away with
no small amount of "resolution envy." I look forward to your participation.
