Explorer was developed only for the Windows platform, and one request we
frequently have is the availability for Mac and Linux. When HDF Explorer was
written, there was not available a good (or any, for that matter), cross
platform GUI framework written in C++.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></STRONG></P>
<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 10pt"><FONT face=Calibri>We recently
came across with an excellent GUI framework that is a joy to work with, that
allows the deployment to Mac, Linux, and Windows with one source code base. So,
a project that was on the back burner for many years, quickly came to light in
the short time frame of one month. The first product is netCDF
Explorer.<o:p></o:p></FONT></P>
<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 10pt"><FONT face=Calibri>Due to the
short time of development, netCDF Explorer can be considered as a simple start
with a lot of room to grow.<o:p></o:p></FONT></P>
<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 10pt"><FONT face=Calibri>Nonetheless
we decided to release it at this time to get a feeling of netCDF/HDF/OpenDAP
user’s comments, suggestions, or any problems they may encounter examining their
own netCDF files.<o:p></o:p></FONT></P>
