So, I haven't used Explorer before, except once about
a year ago when it was brand new.  I'm finding it hard 
to get the answer out of the documentation (we didn't
get any Explorer manuals with the upgrade to IRIX 4.0.1), 
for what should be a simple question.  I have a data file 
consisting of four values per line; 
x-coord, y-coord, z-coord, datavalue.

How do I get this into Explorer?


I can probably write a GL program in a few days to
do this, but seems like  something Explorer should 
handle easily.  

Thanks for any pointers!

Dave

In the ftp site, swedishchef.lerc.nasa.gov (139.88.54.33), you can
find some dscribe examples that are similiar to what you want.
Look under the directory explorer/modules/Datascribe_Examples.
Once you extract the files, the dscribe modules you want to look at
is ReadXYZData.
