Objective-C wrapper for netCDF

I have written Objective-C interfaces to the basic netCDF C-library.  
This started as a small piece of a larger project (reading  
chromatography data files), but I have expanded it to cover the full  
function of the netCDF library. As of version 0.4.1, I think it is  
ready enough to be tried by other people. The main features are:
*  implements netCDF-3.6.1 or higher
*  object-oriented interface
*  reads, writes and creates netCDF data files
*  Macintosh version provides an installable universal binary  
framework for OSX 10.3 or higher
*  Linux-GNUstep version is source-only, and builds a shared library
*  API documentation in HTML
*  sample application for testing
*  free open-source license

The packages are available at http://www.mt-se.com/nc-1 and you can  
also browse the documentation.

While this software has worked well for me, it has not been stress  
tested with big datasets or high-performance applications. I would  
like to see how well it stands up. Also, if there are any issues  
involving trademarks or licenses, I would appreciate those comments.  
The API has evolved over three years, and is still open to change;  
suggestions for improvements are welcome.

Cheers,
Mark Tracy
