Matt,

OK, I try to put descriptions of software that can read, manipulate, or
display netCDF data into the UTILITIES document, and answers to the question
"Who uses netCDF?" into the USAGE document.  Hence the SciAn description has
been added to the utilities document.

Sorry, this should have been 

        http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/packages/netcdf/

Thanks, I've added this link.

It looks useful.  I'll check it again from time to time to see what's new,
and for more definitive links describing the latest versions of various
visualization packages.  I think it would be better if your NetCDF link in 

    http://www.msi.umn.edu/SciVis/Formats/formats.html

pointed to the netCDF homepage at 

    http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/packages/netcdf/

rather than the User's Guide.  The latter is accessible from the netCDF home
page, but doesn't provide as good an introduction.

Links to the usage and utilities documents have now been added to the netCDF
homepage also.
