[WEB4LIB] New graphical search engine (VisIT)

[Lee Jaffe]

I wish folks would take the trouble to mention right up-front that
this is not available for Mac.  (I'm not yet cynical enough to assume
that something isn't Mac-compatible if it doesn't say otherwise.)
Even the VisIT site doesn't mention system requirements until after
you have registered and find that it requires the Sun Java Runtime
module, which is not available for Mac.   -- Lee
