The footnote never made it into the post -- it was just going to
point out that I know that version has two syllables. Getting back
to the important stuff,

Thanks for passing that on, Philip, I had not heard of VisAD until now.
Readers might like to note that (a) VisAD is LGPL, so it is (very) free
and (b) the VisAD homepage is at http://www.ssec.wisc.edu/~billh/visad.html
It looks a bit as if one would have to learn java and/or Python to use it.
This is not necessarily a bad thing.

All the best

Hugh
