Ed/Arlindo/others,

Recently, one of our partners requested a Windows build of the netCDF4 library.

On the http://vista.cira.colostate.edu/nco/ server you will find a 
NetCDF-4.1.1.rc2-Windows folder with five ZIP containers Each of the containers 
has the DLL and LIB files. These are for the zlib, szip, hdf5, hdf5_dl, and 
netCDF files.

I use C++ and the LIB files directly. Our partner uses VB.NET and the DLL.

I've successfully modified the UCAR wrapper example to use the 4.1.1 DLL.

I also have a VS2010 solution for the netCDF-4.1.1 source code.

Next week I will put the wrapper.zip container in that same folder.

If you have any questions, please let me know,

Howdy Arlindo!

The opendap client will be built on cygwin after the 4.1.2 release.

HDF4 is more problematic, but I will build it in if I can find or build
the HDF4 DLLs.

Thanks,

Ed
