I cannot answer that question specifically, but I note that for several years,
IDL (http://www.ittvis.com/) on 32-bit Windows had a strict 2 GiB limit on
netCDF file sizes, when the same limit did not exist on Cygwin. I had always
assumed the limitation was introduced in the IDL interface code, but perhaps it
was in the netCDF DLL, which I expect would have been built with the Microsoft
compiler.

Can anyone answer the question as to whether netCDF 3.6.3 with Windows VS can
correctly write classic netCDF files with sizes >2GB, as Linux and Cygwin can?
