Hi people, 

I have 3 questions about the new release (Flash4.0)

1. I had noted that VISIT 2.5 can not read the *plt* (plotpoint files) from FLASH4.0. The checkpoint can read no problem (*chk*) but these files are heavy. This is not a bug in VISIT 2.5 (the people-Visit check the code and not found any problem)...  it can be a problem with the reader of new FLASH4.0 for Visit ??

2. The viscosity Unit is available for polar coordinates (r,phi)?

3. In the IO_writeIntegralQuantities.F90, I had noted that when I call the coordinates information for a cylindrical simulation (R,Z), the x(i) coordinate (i.e., the radial coordinate) become like pi*R and not only R. I don't understand why. When I call the volume in a cell (dvol), the value are ok (pi*deltaX*deltaY), and the Z coordinate look ok too. The problem arise only in the radial coordinate... I have missing something?

Thanks for all the information. :D
