I have to be doing something stupid.  I'm trying to write  a simple vtk
structured grid data file.

Here is a vtk data file, extracted from office.vtk   Does anyone else's set of
eyes see the problem?
--------------------------------------------------
# vtk DataFile Version 1.0

DATASET STRUCTURED_GRID
DIMENSIONS 1 2 2
POINTS 4 float

  0.050000001 0.40000001 0.0099999988

SCALARS p1 float
LOOKUP_TABLE default
  -3.8648391
  -3.8647611
  -3.8647821
  -3.864938

-------------------------------------------------------------------------
When I try to read it  on a recent nightly build on HPUX 10.20 I get the error
below.
The script below shows the geometry, but I'm not getting the scalars.

c0529$ vtk short.tcl
ERROR: In vtkStructuredGridReader.cxx, line 390
vtkStructuredGridReader (0x403209b8): Unrecognized keyword: scalars


---------------------------------------------------
Here is a script to read it.  The same script will read and display kitchen.vtk
without errors, but I can't see any difference between the Office.vtk file, and
my short file.....
