I know that structures (and arrays of structures) can be handled quite nicely by XDR, and thus by C programs. My understanding is that Fortran 90 now has structures (user derived types). Does anyone know if these can be filled through the XDR mechanism? If so, netcdf could be extended to include structures, if you were willing to accept Fortran-90 only features. Perhaps something could be kludged to F77 if you had to. I certainly think its worth doing (structures I mean, not kludges :^).
