[mesa-users] MESAFace thanks and suggestions

[Samuel Harrold]

Hi Maurizio,

I see that from
http://reference.wolfram.com/mathematica/howto/CreateAComputableDocumentFormatFile.html,
you're right that data import and export are not supported. I didn't
realize that.
"
Data import and export are not supported from within CDF Player with the
exception of Wolfram-curated data sources (ChemicalData, CountryData,
WordData, etc.).
"

Hopefully this will change with future releases. And after recalling Rich
Townsend's experience making the the MESA SDK, maybe it's better to not
attempt a standalone executable.

Thanks anyhow for the terrific tool! I look forward to future releases!

Cheers,
Sam
