Welcome to VIEW! We hope that you'll find this exploratory visualization software useful and fun. This software was developed under NIH grant. Our grant renewal is based, in part, on the extent to which software is disseminated. It would help us IMMENSELY if you'd let us know that you've retrieved a copy of the VIEW software. Please send a brief e-mail message to bergman@cs.unc.edu indicating that you have the software. If you find the program useful, a follow-up message describing how you've used the software and your comments on it would also be appreciated. Consulting and/or training is available for VIEW. Contact me via e-mail (bergman@cs.unc.edu) or call at (919)967-7140 to make arrangements. Thanks, Larry Bergman ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Contents of this directory: installing_VIEW_doc - document that described how to install the VIEW software and data libraries. install_view - the VIEW installation script.
