Here is a list of bugs in the visualisation package which we know about:

- The visualistion cannot access archived 4th phase fields. This is because it was designed with the Open University in mind, and their short course is based on the 3 phase standard experiment. Hopefully, in time, the package will be made more general.

- If, when you double click on the 'GLOBAL' icon, the interface is launched but then won't plot anything (with no error messages) it is probably because you installed the package on a Windows XP machine without administrative rights. Reinstall it with administrative rights.

- Some people have found that they get an error message saying that the package can't find MSVCR70.dll. If you get that, please download the file here and put it in your C:\WINNT\system32 (or C:\WINDOWS\system32) folder.

- The package assumes that your archived data is in C:/ Program Files/ Climate Prediction/archive. This is the default.

- You always have to plot a surface field first - if you have the model running then this happens automatically, as the default is for timestep surface temperature to plot. However, if you dont have the model running, you have to plot a year/season surface field before you can plot any of the other views.

- Images won't save as .bmp, and sometimes .jpg is temperamental. We're looking into this...
