[Paraview] [EXTERNAL] Re: pvtm file format

[Andy Bauer]

The .pvtm is the same as the .vtm file, just a redundant file extension.
Really, the .vtm format is parallel/partition aware where as the other .vt*
extensions have a partitioned .pvt* format.

I'm a bit surprised that PV doesn't associate the .pvtm file with
multiblock datasets. If you try to read in a .pvtm file though you just
need to properly associate it with the XML multiblock data reader.
