I am attempting to write a hyperslab with multiple values in the 
record dimension. No matter how big the hyperslab is, I only get
one value written in the array. I have written two little 
programs to illustrate my problem.  I'd really appreciate any
suggestions.  Thanks.

------------------ cut here -------------------------
netcdf test {
dimensions:
        xdim = UNLIMITED ; // (1 currently)

variables:
        float level(xdim) ;

data:

 level = 1 ;

I FIGURED THAT THE TWO CDL'S WOULD BE EQUIVALENT
