write_v5d.f 07/08/00 6921 bytes program (modified form the original vis5d convert programs) to write a normal (equal sized grid file) for vis5d,
write_v5d.m 04/08/00 230 bytes is the (very simple) make file for Linux
OUTLBRAUNK 03/08/00 260 bytes this is a map file for the Leipzig Region
makemap.c 03/08/00 7308 bytes this is the map c source
maketopo.c 03/08/00 6558 bytes this the source for creating a topo file (for the Leipzig region)

If you want to visualize your data at the web, you can save each picture, convert it into jpg, gif or png and then display it with the java Program 'ImageAnimator', from David Flanagan (download able from O'Reilly: http://www.ora.com/catalog/javanut/examples/index.html) it is only necessary to modify the codebase in the html source (and eventually slightly the java source).
Another possibility is to use the source published under: http://www.dpunkt.de/java/Programmieren_mit_Java/Grafikprogrammierung/12.html (VideoplayerDemo.java)
 

For using these tools you need the complete vis5d package, download able from the first mentioned webpage, or from the DKRZ (Deutsches Klimarechen Zentrum):  ftp://ftp.dkrz.de/pub/visu/ssec/
