[IDV #VBR-726452]: Focal Mechanism Plotting Error

Dear Jessica,

I was able to successfully view these data in the IDV, but first I had to clean 
up the header lines. I removed extraneous quotes, and also gave an accurate 
description of the time field.

(index -> 
(Time,Latitude,Longitude,Altitude,magnitude,strike,dip,rake,comment(Text),Mo(Text)))
Time[fmt="MM/dd/yyyy HH:mm"],Latitude[unit="deg"],Longitude[unit="degrees 
west"],Altitude[unit="km"],magnitude[unit="null"],strike[unit="null"],dip[unit="null"],rake[unit="null"],comment(Text),Mo(Text)

Please keep us up-to-date on your progress.

Best Wishes, 

Unidata IDV Support
