DEC Visual FORTRAN
==================

We would like to get a feel for how many HDF users are interested in
using HDF with DEC Visual FORTRAN.  If you are currently using DEC 
Visual FORTRAN with HDF or would like to, please send us a message at
the HDF Helpdesk (hdfhelp@ncsa.uiuc.edu).

Noesys 1.1 
==========

We recently received an announcement about Fortner Software's Noesys 1.1,
the latest version of their data analysis and visualization software built
on the HDF data model. Noesys 1.1 is currently available for Windows, with 
the Macintosh due later this month.

This version is especially interesting because it supports the ability to
view and edit SDSs and Vdatas, as well as the ability to view and subset
very large datasets.  These are capabilities that many HDF users have asked 
for.

For more information about Noesys 1.1, see:  http://www.fortner.com/hdf/
