[mesa-users] Using kap module in another program

[Roni Waldman]

Hi Ehsan,

I am not sure this is exactly what I wanted.
I would like to call the existing mesa kap code with the existing mesa
opacity tables, rather than create new tables.
If I understood correctly, your code interfaces with the OPCD package, and
creates opacity tables.
Am I correct?

Best,
Roni
