Thanks for reporting the problem. We have verified it and also determined that it's not platform-specific. We'll let you know when we have a fix. --Russ Russ Rew UCAR Unidata Program address@hidden http://www.unidata.ucar.edu Ticket Details =================== Ticket ID: WNF-922004 Department: Support netCDF Priority: Normal Status: Closed
