Hi Douglas,

It is true that most of our analysis/display packages work under Unix.
This doesn't mean, however, that you can't download them if you are not
running under Unix/Linux.

>Do you have anything that I could get through the web?

You might want to check out the Integrated Data Viewer (IDV).  This
application runs anywhere that Java 3D runs, so Windows is a good,
viable OS option.

Cheers,

Tom Yoksas
