Dear Patrick (and Jérôme),

Is there a place where I can download the Magic Montage toolbar only,
without the LSM toolbox ? The LSM toolbox is great, but I'm just trying to
set up a '"minimal" distro for a few basic users here, and Magic Montage
would be very usefull for them (they don't use any Zeiss scope at the
moment). I went to the ImageJ wiki and found the Magic Montage article (
http://imagejdocu.tudor.lu/Members/jmutterer/Magic_Montage/) but there is no
download there.

Thanks a lot !
