Hi Pat<BR>
<BR>
Sounds somewhat confusing. If the program is advertised as having a reader for SILO files it should be more clearly stated that it is only available if you compile the code yourself - I only use the binary windows distribution.<BR>
<BR>
Hopefully more file formats will be available, in the binary (windows) distribution at a future release.<BR>
<BR>
Thanks for the clarrification<BR>
<BR>
