[news.eclipse.dsdp] Re: Is NAB for real?

Hi Doug,

I've forwarded your message to Shigeki, the project lead for NAB. I will 
find out what he's not actively monitoring the newsgroup.

The problem you're having is that you need to install the MWT widget 
library. Shigeki can supply some instructions.
