I definitely get what you're saying: in MPI-IO, the communicator passed to the library is valid for a given file, but we're trying to do init/cleanup once. The global state variable helps make sure we don't initialize ourselves repeatedly. I think nc_open_par and nc_create_par could do something similar. There is already some global per-library state maintainig identifiers when opening/closing files, after all. ==rob -- Rob Latham Mathematics and Computer Science Division A215 0178 EA2D B059 8CDF Argonne National Lab, IL USA B29D F333 664A 4280 315B
