[maker-devel] Twinscan in Maker

[Barry Moore]

Hey Winston,

I didn't see a reply come across the list to you yet, so I'll take a  
stab at it.  The two main developers on MAKER have been busy with  
'new baby coming any moment' and a sick kid for the last couple of  
days, so they may not have had a chance to reply yet - or maybe they  
just replied off the list and I didn't see it.  Either way, here's  
what I know - and I'll talk to the rest of the crew later today...

Recent additions to MAKER have been support for MPI (parallel  
processing) and support for Augustus as you noted.  Support for  
Fgenesh is in the works.  I haven't heard any discussion of adding  
Twinscan yet, but it certainly would be a logical extension to the  
current work, so feedback like yours is helpful.  I'll talk to these  
guys later today and one of us will follow up on the list with a more  
concrete answer about the possibility of adding Twinscan support.

Thanks for your interest in MAKER and for providing helpful feedback.
