I am wondering if anyone has compared the data transfer rate for reading/ writing netCDF files to the rate obtainable with standard Fortran of C files on various machines? In other words, what is the overhead one pays for going through netCDF instead of a regular file when you need to work _mostly_ with reasonably large chunks of data and occasionally with smaller structures stored in the same file? Thanks in advance for any info. -- David Bernholdt bernhold@xxxxxxxxxxx Quantum Theory Project bernhold@ufpine.bitnet University of Florida Gainesville, FL 32611 904/392 6365
