Users' Group Meeting was hosted by the University of Wisconsin

and other data, especially files in GRIdded Binary (GRIB)
format. Demonstration of the initial efforts for the new McIDAS-V
development project, utilizing tools from both the McIDAS VisAD and
Unidata IDV (Integrated Data Viewer) software systems, generated much
interest and anticipation from the audience of 40. T. Schmit gave
