Re: DDS Support

Hi Hans,

Did your poll indicate that a choice of origin is more trouble than it's
worth? Or is that your personal opinion? I'm curious -- why is a choice of
origin so difficult?  I've found that making a 1-dimensional array work as a
2d or 3d array is not all that difficult, but the extra calculations
certainly obscured what I was doing.
