[Paraview] EnSightReader: Change input file

[Dan Lipsa]

Hi Ian,
I have the following patch that fixes the EnSightReader for the files you
sent to Utkarsh. Would you mind trying it out? If you have other files you
can try it on, please do so.

You'll have to build ParaView from the repository:

http://www.paraview.org/Wiki/ParaView:Build_And_Install
http://www.paraview.org/Wiki/ParaView/Git

And then apply this patch in ParaView/VTK

git apply --stat ensight.patch


Thanks,
Dan
