What is the license? Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silo_(software)) takes me here: http://www.nevercenter.com/ which says you can buy it for $159... Second point is that it appears to be a massive piece of software. The first patch says: "Showing 340 changed files with 259,038 additions and 9,219 deletions." so I'm pretty hesitant to distribute this with libmesh at all. Netcdf/Exodus is a pain to deal with, but it's worth it to distribute it because it provides a key I/O capability. SILO could become that some day, but in the meantime I don't think we want to saddle every libmesh user with needing to download/build yet another library they may not ever use. -- John ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ DreamFactory - Open Source REST & JSON Services for HTML5 & Native Apps OAuth, Users, Roles, SQL, NoSQL, BLOB Storage and External API Access Free app hosting.
