[FLASH-USERS] c12 vs C12

[Lynn Reid]

Hi Beatrice:

Thanks for letting us know about the problem with inconsistent 
capitalization throughout plot and checkpoint files.  We can attack the 
problem on three fronts:

1) For your short term problems, obviously you can possible edit the 
HDF5 files with a hex editor and change "C12" to "c12".  But I'm sure 
that will get tedious quickly.
2) The FLASH developers will fix the problem and release a patch so that 
variables are consistently named.
3) Our Visit liason, Randy Hudson, will work on creating a patch for 
Visit so that it is case-insensitive to variable names.

We'll let the community know when the fixes to (2) and (3) above are ready.
