Hi all,

I created patches to get netcdf 3.6.1-beta2 workin on OpenVMS. You can find
them on my web-page:
  http://nchrem.tnw.tudelft.nl/openvms/software2.html#NETCDF

Can they be included in the final version of netcdf 3.6.1?


Some details on the fixes:
    descrip.mms : these are the OpenVMS style makefiles
    *.*vms*     : Configuration files for Openvms
    vmsarg.f90  : Adds getarg & iargc functions, which are non-standard in
                   FORTRAN
    *.c,*.F     : Test programs should skip tests that do multiple open
                   (without closing). Since OpenVMS locks open files as
                   a safety procedure.
                  When opening a "New" file the OpenVMS preserves the old
                    file with a lower version number. So sometimes the test
                    programs unexpectedly find such a file. This patch deletes
                    these files when this occurs.
                  Note that changes in these file do not affect other ports
                    since the added code is 
                        #ifdef __VMS
                        ...
                        #else
                        original code
                        #endif
                        
                        
                Jouk
