Thank to all who responded with help on AVS question. I was hoping to create
a radial display but a AVS irregular grid looks like the way to go.

Two more things:

1. Stardent has supplied us with a GRIB (international WMO standard for 
meteorological data file reader. It is a AVS data module. We are working on
getting a UDF (Universal Radar Format) data file reader also. If anyone is
intrested in these send me Email.

2. Is there any way in AVS to tie a particular color to a value in a 
arbitary slicer? Since we run the data through field to byte and back to 
field to float it keeps getting distributed over a wider range.

3. Can anyone get a good volume bounds box out of a IRREGULAR 3D field?
I have had to resort to creating a second output port declared as UNIFORM
to get volume bounds correctly.
