Simple plots, simple analysis on Solaris?

This is what I need, maybe you all can help.

Simple analysis package that:
        - is *FREE*
        - runs under Solaris (SunOS may be ok)
        - reads a generic netCDF file
        - displays to the user the variables and attributes
        - let's the user perform simple stats on the variables like
                stddev, mean, etc
        - does simple 2D plotting (3D maybe), with 
        - is point and click (except when you have to specify ranges, etc)
        - hard copy output would be nice

What I don't wan't
        - I don't want to do animation
        - I don't want something like FERRET where I have to type
                in commands

The closest I've come is the ACE/gr package (description in the utilities.txt
document in netcdf ftp directory at Unidata) which I'm investigating
right now.  If there is anything else you know of, let me know.

Basically, I want something that any bonehead (like me ;-) ) can use
to simple plotting and stats with netCDF data.

If I shouldn't have sent this type of question to everybody, my apologies.
