RE: 20040325:LEAD testbed data (fwd)

Hi Tom,

Regarding decoding formats, I suggest you find someone in the ADAS tech 
staff at OU and find out what form they assume the datasets will be in for 
use in their data assimilation package.  That's one that we eventually want 
to interface with so it would be good to know what assumptions they make 
about the input data.

Unfortunately I don't know if we ever got an official contact person there.
