No - I'm just using a Plain Object to do the saving, as in:


  public void saveData(String outputFileName, Data d) throws
BadFormException,
                                                                        
IOException,
                                                                        
VisADException,
                                                                        
RemoteException {
    File f = new File(outputFileName);
    Plain saver = new Plain();
    saver.save(f.getPath(), d, true);
    saver = null;
  }
