The IDV can probably read it, but not navigate it.  We don't have
a Java nav module for the polar orbiter data.  If it's not polar orbiter
data, then we might be able to handle it.  Do you have a sample file?

BTW, I've been working on the aircraft track stuff. You can now have
a little plane flying along the track.  This will be in the next release
in a couple of weeks.  Also, we are working on reading local Level III
files.  That won't be in the next release, but should be out sometime
in the first part of the next year if all goes well.
