status of nj22 WRT netCDF-4

[Simon Wood]

Hi,

I'm trying to clarify the functionality of the latest release of nj22 
(eg nj-2.2.17) WRT netCDF-4.

According to some of the CDM docs I've seen (eg 
http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/staff/caron/presentations/CDM.ppt, slide 39) 
  nj22 implements the CDM data access layer (ie netCDF-4) 'to beta 
quality' but is awaiting HDF5-1.8.  I assumed this to mean both reading 
*and* writing, yet on the the nj22 web page 
(http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/netcdf-java/) it seems to be 
suggested that only reading of netCDF-4 files is supported with writing 
being restricted to netCDF-3.  Which is correct?  Or have I missed 
something here?

regards

Simon Wood
