Hi all,

I would like to announce the official beginning of a community based
development effort that aims to create MCNP visualization tools. All
code will be freely available under the open source LGPL (GNU Lesser
General Public License), and a project website has been established at
SourceForge.net:

http://sourceforge.net/projects/mcnp-viz-tools/

Here you can sign up for our mailing list, keep track of the latest
news, and even volunteer to join our group of developers. We are
currently in a pre-alpha planning stage and would be glad to hear your
comments.

Our first task will be to develop code to parse the PTRAC output file
and display partical tracks using Java3D. As such, we are hoping that
volunteers will submit example PTRAC files that have been annotated to
explain what each feature of the file means. This will hopefully
provide a good variety of files to test our code against in the future.
You may submit files by email or by anonymous ftp through a link shown
on the project website above.

Subscribers to the Java3D list-server who wish to learn more about MCNP
can browse this primer:
