Hi All,
A version of ncdump by Hoop used to be able to convert ncdump dates into
dates that can be read easily. I lost that functionality recently, and the
cdcncdump was hard to compile using a newer version of netCDF. I wrote a
short program that filters the output of ncdump and replaces the dates using
udunits. It seems to work for NCEP Reanalysis data files. A perl script
illustrates how it could be used on multiple NetCDF files:
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
for ($a = 0; $a < scalar(@ARGV); $a++) {
$command = "ncdump -c $ARGV[$a] | read.ncdump\n";
system($command);
}
In case there are others in the same boat, the "read.ncdump.c" is available
in the contributed netCDF software catalog:

Cheers,
Rick Danielson
