Is there no chance of fixing the visualization software instead? The format seems
easy and efficient, and it seems a shame to make a redundant bloated copy
of the same info. What next? XML tags surrounding your ascii floats?

What platform are you on? What is the visualization software's method of
accessing data? Only files as you describe? Are you visualizing interactively,
or setting up batch processing?

Are you the same person who posted re this format some time ago?
