package for analysis and display of netCDF data

Hi Bethany,

Here's the note I mentioned in our phone conversation.  In it, Steve Hankin
mentions the new version of FERRET they will soon be making available.
You might want to send him a message asking to get a copy of the beta-test
version of the software for evaluation.

    FYI: The point and click interface to FERRET is just about to begin BETA
    testing.  My strong hunch is that people will like it.  A lot.
