[seek-dev] Re: implementing garp in ptolemy

[Ricardo Scachetti Pereira]

Hi, Chad and all,

I can provide all the details about GARP that you 
need. 
I'm in a middle of a household move, but a phone 
call on Wednesday afternoon or Thursday would be 
good for me.
I'll be in Brazil which is now 6 hours ahead of 
California Time.
Let me know whether that works for you.

Regards,

Ricardo
