Hi Stu,

> Inquiry: I am trying to make a jnlp file that will start the

The problem is that the idv tries to load this as a grid. This is something
I've wanted to address for a while. What I'll do is to support adding a
"type:" prefix. e.g.:
<argument>type:NetCDF.POINT:http://geon.unavco.org/unavco/GPS/GPSVEL_1.0_ITRF2000.nc</argument>

This will be in the release next week.
