Also see <ftp://nssdc.gsfc.nasa.gov/CDAWlib/> for the sourc used in the
CDF web browser <http://cdaweb.gsfc.nasa.gov/>. read_myCDF.pro reads the
data into an IDL structure with its meta info (Xread_mycdf.pro is a GUI to
select a CDF and call read_myCDF.pro). You can plot the variablename.DATA
values pretty much as normal, or use one of the plot routines in the
library (although they depend on certain metadata being available).
