[cosmic-users] Error importing xme file created by tao_picml

[Jeff Parsons]

Hi,

Sorry, I made a mistake in my previous email. CoSMIC 0.4.7
has not yet been released. However, you can get the latest
version of the IDL generator from CVS - instructions are
on the same web page where you obtained 0.4.6.
