Applications session at IVOA Interop meeting. Oct 6-7

[John Taylor]

Hi Mark,
I can give a demonstration of a "VO-enabled" version of xmdv-lite.  This 
is a visualization tool for multidimensional datasets that has views 
such as parallel axes.  The two most interesting things about it (apart 
from its use for visualization!) are how it's possible to deliver it by 
Java Web Start (even though it includes non-Java code), and how it can 
load data from VOSpace using Noel Winstanley's new Astro Client Runtime.
