I have lots of netCDF files, but I don't currently have an IBM RS/6000 or
SGI IRIS 4D on my desk.  I do have access to a lower-end SGI or RS/6000 that
I may try SciAn on when I get some spare time.  If SciAn was ever ported to
OpenGL, I could use it on my SPARCstation 10.

I did.

I assume you mean utilities.txt.  I've taken a first stab at putting it in
HTML and adding the SciAn reference.  I also put a reference to it in the
netCDF FAQ HTML document as well as from the entCDF homepage at

    http:/www.unidata.ucar.edu/packages/netcdf/ 

There's probably lot's more things that I could provide links for, but I
can't find home pages for AVS, IDL, IBM Data Explorer, SGI Iris Explorer,
etc.  If you know of web pages for any of these, I'd be grateful to here
about them so I could include links to keep things up-to-date.
