[Paraview] XYZ to VTK

[Mike Jackson]

I am at a loss as to why this is not working.I have attached the test  
file that loads on my machine. Unfortunately I can not test in  
windows at the moment. Maybe some one else can test this out and let  
us know. You should be able to load the file with the "VTK Legacy  
Reader".
