If I remember correctly, the maillist doesn't allow attachments. I have
extracted the QTVirtualStack components from my project (and changed the
name of the java package), and I put together a quick ant build script.
I will host it at the following URL "for a while":
http://www.cs.dartmouth.edu/~jnw/QTVirtualStack.zipWayne, if you'd like to clean it up and incorporate it into an official
build of ImageJ that would be cool; otherwise, feedback/comments are
equally useful.
Thanks,
