Hi,

As some other user already stated, only approx 5% of the available netCDF
'products' are working properly in a Windows framework. I'm working
with Compaq Visual Fortran and I'm looking to use Fortran90.

Hence my points are:

a) I can't find the most recent static library "netcdfs.lib" in the Unidata
website, in order to link embebed within my own fortran code. I'm using one
lib from 2001 (nf90_inq_libvers = 3.5.0).

b) I'm not able (or it doesn't work for me) to compile and run my code with
the most recent dynamic lib (so called "netcdf.dll"), included in the
release "netcdf-3.6.1-beta1-win32dll.zip". I'm including this dll into the
Project folders (in the VisualFortan Workspace). It seems like the compiler
can't find some subrutines / nc_functions in the aforementioned dyn lib.

c) Hence, what I did is to put all the *.f90 files (from the
"netcdf-3.6.0-p1" release), together with my own static lib in the WorkSpace
/ Project folders. As far as I understood (from the "F90 Interface Guide",
Rew et al. 2005), nowadays there is any "fully F90" netcdf
subrutines/functions. The available files from the last release are a
"bridge" between old F77 libraries and recent F90 functionalities. Is that
correct? Is there any library in F90?

d) Last but not least: I couldn't find the so called NF90_INQ_VARNATTS
(again, from "F90 Interface Guide", p. 53) function within the last F90
netcdf package... Could you help me to find out how to construct the
function/link to the appropiate old_F77 function?

Sorry about this long email...
Thanks a lot for your support, best regards

Eric.
