Camilo,

Your compilation errors look to be the result of an incorrectly set
CLASSPATH variable.  Try setting your CLASSPATH to the parent directory
of your VisAD directory and the current directory.  For example, if you
installed VisAD into "C:\java\visad" then at the command prompt, type:
  set CLASSPATH=C:\java;.

Also, Windows NT comes with OpenGL, and you shouldn't use the version
that Microsoft provides unless your default OpenGL installation has
problems (e.g., you see strange white lines and polygon fragments in your
Java3D displays).

Let the list know if you have any more problems.

-Curtis
