(ParaView stands on top of the VTK toolkit).  One way to see a vtk file is to open ParaView, Sources menu, Sphere, Apply.  Then, File menu, Save Data, change "Files of type" to vtk, name the file, OK, then write it as ASCII.

The 1st link above was (*quite*) illuminating for me, would you know of 
any similar which address writing out multi-block structured (IJ & IJK) 
grid & field data ? I am 100% unfamiliar w/ XML files/formatting, so 
links w/ sample files/coding (such as the 1st one above) are extremely 
helpful for me. Thanks in advance.
