I received a message from another person from NCAR confirming the robust
performance of eXodus. This person also reported crashes with MacX 1.1.7,
which has been deemed more robust than 1.2 (see the postings).

At JPL we have a site license for MacX, but in this case I think we'll
give eXodus a try. We actually were using it some years ago but found
its performance unsatisfactory. I've heard there have been major upgrades
since then...
