Hi Kevin, If you want to save a VisAD data object and read back as you saved it, consider using visad.data.visad.VisADForm (name inspired by spam, spam, spam, eggs and spam). It can save data using Java serialization, or a custom VisAD binary format. The Data object will come back exactly as it was written. But of course, if you want to exchange data with non-VisAD software, then netCDF is better. Good luck, Bill
