The IDV (and, hence, McIDAS-V, since we use their code) uses their own
code to open the files and create VisAD-compatible objects for
"grids". Don Murray was the author of that code. I do not believe
his intent was ever to create anything like "Plain" that could create
a VisAD Data object out of the contents of just any netCDF-type file.
The "heart" of the code is at:
