Hey, folks, thanks for all the feedback!  There seem to be enough tools out 
there that have not gotten to netCDF-4 yet that we will have to stick to 
netCDF-3 for now, though I will be watching this space for announcement of tool 
upgrades.

I have a followup question:  one of the use cases we had for netCDF-4 was that 
the underlying storage format is HDF5, making them readable by *hdf* tools like 
HDFview.  Some of our users like its spreadsheet-style interface for examining 
data values.  Is there a netcdf tool with an equivalent capability?  (Panoply 
has some capability in that vein, but it's more limited than HDFView.)
