Hi:

Sorry if this is a FAQ: in the netCDF User's Guide, v1.10
(Dec 1990, I should probably get a newer one), the example
on p.68 (NCVDEF) defines RHDIMS (vdims) as TIMDIM, LATDIM,
LONDIM in that order. But on p.80 (NCVPT), where the hyperslab
is written, COUNT is defined in the opposite order from RHDIMS
(LONS,LATS,TIMES). If I do this in my (fortran) code, I get an
"Invalid edge length" message from ncvarput.
