Hi David, You should be able to run some of the VisAD example applications. Make sure that 'java -version' gives you something like java version "1.2" . . . and you may also need to download some sample data files. If you download: ftp://www.ssec.wisc.edu/pub/visad-2.0/images.nc then you should be able to run 'java VerySimple'. You can also run 'java visad.ss.SpreadSheet' which will let you load any GIF, JPEG, netCDF, FITS or McIDAS file (for Vis5D and HDF-EOS you need native libraries that don't run on NT). See the VisAD Spread Sheet web page for instructions. If you have installed Java3D, you can run some demos that use it, like 'java HSVDisplay' or 'java -mx64m SatDisplay'. VisAD is really designed for software developers, so you might want to print out the VisAD Developer's Guide, as well as study the source code of some of the example applications. Also, Unidata has a nice archive of this mailing list, and there is the VisAD README and VisAD FAQ (includes a link for downloading nmake), all linked from the web page. If you do download nmake and compile from source, make sure that your CLASSPATH includes the parent directory of your visad directory.
