[Radiance-general] Radiance on Windows 7 Ultimate using SUA (it works!)

[Randolph M. Fritz]

Guy,

Wow.  That is really wonderful news (and thank you for the credit.)  
That rpiece worked at all is very cool and gives me some hope that we 
can make it work consistently.

Based on this news I am hopeful that we will eventually be able to do a 
proper release of Radiance for Windows Ultimate, if we can find the 
time to do the work.
