Hi Roy,

     We're about to release a new version of the idl-client for  
OPeNDAP.  The new client code functions the same as the old client  
code but uses a new C API we've been developing that provides DAP  
access, similar to the existing C++ and Java DAP class libraries.    
Currently we're resolving a problem in the C API that affects  
accessing attributes, and waiting for that be resolved before  
releasing the code.  I have the code built and working on a Mac OS/X  
running IDL-6.3, we should be able to provide both Intel-based and  
PowerPC-based binary versions for the Mac once this last problem is  
resolved.

          Dan
