[Met_help] Installation Problem

[John Halley Gotway]

Kumar,

Great!  Glad it's working well for you.

Your name is included on the email list for MET updates.  We use that list to periodically send out info on bug fixes and new releases.  FYI, we're planning an updated release of MET (version 1.1) in 
April, 2008.

Please let us know if you have any more questions or suggestions regarding your use of MET.

Thanks,
John Halley-Gotway
