Hi,

I still have not managed to compile NetCDF from sources, but the
3.6.1-win32 binaries plus the netcdf.h file from the 3.6.1 source
distribution did the job.

I found that adding the line

#pragma comment (lib, "netcdf")

to the <netcdf.h> file makes it much easier to use NetCDF from Visual
C++. This directive causes the linker to include "netcdf.lib", so you
do not need to edit linker options separately for each program. I hope
this tip is useful for other VC++ users.

Maciej.
