Hi All:

An interesting question came up today about aggregating over mixed file types.  
If i have a series of netcdf3 files that are aggregated over time, and then 
start adding to that directory netcdf4 files that are just a continuation of 
the aggregation for new times, can THREDDS aggregate over the entire collection?

The ability to do so would be a major incentive to switch to netcdf4, because 
it would not break our existing netcdf3 files nor having to do the tedious 
process of translating hundreds of thousands of files.

Thanks,

-Roy
