Here's some more detail on what we expect netCDF 4 to be able to do. Please let me know what you think... * NetCDF File Format Compatability ** NetCDF 4 uses HDF5 as it's storage layer. ** NetCDF 4 can also create/read/modify files created with previous versions of netCDF, using the original netCDF data format. ** If the user opens an old netCDF file, and attempts to modify it, NetCDF 4 will stick with the (old) netCDF file format. New API features (like bit-packing) won't work on these files. ** There will be a way for users to cause an old netCDF file to be copied into the new HDF5 data format. ** NetCDF 4 can read files created with HDF5, but some features will be inaccessible (rasters, for example). Certain group conventions may be required for a HDF5 file to be accessible via netCDF. ** NetCDF 4 can't read HDF 4 files. ** NetCDF 4 has no knowledge of HDF-EOS. * NetCDF API Backward Compatibility ** Interface will be added to, but all existing function calls will remain the same, so that programs written for netCDF 3.x will work for netCDF 4.0 with a simple compile. ** By default, the netCDF 4 API creates HDF5 files. A renamed set of functions allows access to the original 3.x netCDF functions, which allow the users to create netCDF format files.
