NetCDF/OpenDAP/NcML/THREDDS enthusiasts:

Many of you know that the ToolsUI GUI (the NetCDF 4.0 Tools App) is a
super useful tool for debugging, quick browsing and mapping of data
from NetCDF, NcML, OpenDAP URLs and more.  If you haven't seen it,
it's available via
http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/netcdf-java/
and you can start it via the command or as a Java webstart application.

For those of you who have wondered about what all those tabs do in the
ToolsUI GUI (and since there is no user's manual) we captured a WebEx
recording of John Caron giving a demo of the features he uses most
often.   The demo is about 40 minutes, and can be viewed with the
WebEx Recorder on Mac & Windows.

I learned a lot from the demo.  -- thanks John!
