Hi Ward

I am trying to find how to generate a "netCDF4 classic" file with ncgen , I 
suppose the -k kind option

Doing a --help option

pvicente@glace:~/nco$ ncgen --help
ncgen: invalid option -- '-'
Usage: ncgen [ -b ] [ -c ] [ -f ] [ -k kind ] [ -x ] [-S struct-format] [-M 
<name> [ -o outfile]  [ file ... ]

This is probably one of the worst help usages I have ever seen.

How are we supposed to know what these options mean?

Doing google search "ncgen help" points to a non existing page
