[Nexus] problems with current stable of nxbrowse and nxdir

[Osborn, Raymond]

I'm attaching the python tree for the entire file in case people want to look at the text. I was able to open the file in NeXpy without problem, but as Pete says, I had to add both 'signal=1' and 'axes="x"' attributes to the 'data' group to get it to plot (also attached). I confess I'm not familiar with the 'nexdatas_source' attribute. The python API seemed to handle it okay as a string attribute (as did my NXbrowse 4.3).
