Hi Bill,

The options for ucar.nc2.NCdump are different than the options for the C ncdump 
(I'll leave it to John Caron to answer the why on this). Here's the NCdump 
usage message:

usage: NCdump <filename> [-cdl | -ncml] [-c | -vall] [-v varName1;varName2;..] 
[-v varName(0:1,:,12)]

Looks like 2.2.20 has a few more library dependencies. Here's the binary class 
jar files you need when using 2.2.20:

netcdfUI-2.2.20.jar
nlog4j-1.2.25.jar
commons-logging-1.1.jar
commons-codec-1.3.jar

They are all included in netcdfAll-2.2.20.zip.
