Dear Fei, please excuse me if I seemed critical. That was not my intent. I 
tried to compile it under Cygwin and then under Linux.  
 
Kurt sent me a note privately criticizing me for being 'unappreciative'. In 
fact, as soon as I saw your description, I was eager to look at it.
 
The download and untar went fine.  The 'assert' is missing.  Is there someone 
else in the group who has successfully compiled the code?  I tried three 
different c++ compilers.
 
Russ, have you looked at the code?
 
John

        Hi Group,
        
        netcdf c++ wrapper library is a library around existing netcdf c++
        library provided by unidata. It can be downloaded directly from here:
        ftp://ftp.gfdl.noaa.gov/pub/fil/netcdflib.tgz
        
        This library introduces a few key modern c++ techniques to class design
        and interface design. A new class, ONetCDFFile::NcFile, is introduced to
        make writing a netCDF file much easier based on an existing input netCDF
        file. This class contains template member functions that copies netCDF
        variables from input file to output file. It also provides book keeping
        records of attributes, dimensions, variables copied from one file to
        another.
        
        ncatt.h and ncatt.cpp captures key methods to copy attributes from a 
input
        object (NcFile or NcVar) to an output object. This wrapper uses facade
        design to provide a unified function interface. It also provides a
        template member function to easily retrieve value of a given attribute.
        
        ncio.h provides template functions to read and write data from/to a 
netCDF
        file. This class is tightly coupled with array.h. array.h is a small and
        efficient multiple dimension array implementation. Its access methods
        resembles fortran syntax and can be used very intuitively.
        
        All class and methods reside in namespace 'feiliu' to prevent name
        collision with other similar libraries.
        
        To build the example, use 'build'. All source codes are ISO c+ᄮ standard
        compliant.
        
        Let me know if you have any suggestions to improve this library. Thanks!
        
        Fei

Folks,

I would like to get on you mailing list for netCDF. I have just read the
documentation and it looks like just what I am looking for. I got
the tar.Z file for Unix no problem. However, I find that when I try to
get the VAX/VMS version from laurel.ucar.edu it is an unknown host.
When I try laurel.unidata.ucar.edu it never responds. When I try by the
Internet host number given in the README I also get no response. Is there
a machine available where I can get the VAX/VMS saveset.
