You can find more details about Banyan at http://www.banyantrees.org website.  Thanks to Bob Barter of LLNL who spent numerous hours working on Banyan project and making it open source.  Banyan has been released as open source under the GNU General Public License.  I (as a part of CIGNEX team) is fortunate enough to work on such strategic and challenging project.

Banyan is hosted at sourceforge ( https://sourceforge.net/projects/banyanims ).  There is an extensive documentation (> 13 MB) and a cool Windows Installer available to download.  You should check it out.

I am presenting Banyan Case Study during Plone Symposium (March 10th in New Orleans).   Check out the schedule at http://http://plone.org/events/regional/nola06/talks
