Unfortunately, our work on netCDF operators has taken a back seat to
our work on an Internet-based data distribution system.  For the near
furture (one year?) it is unlikely that any significant work will be
done on netCDF operators by the Unidata Program Center.

The only extant netCDF operators are those in the NCOPERS package:
ncbarne, ncstat, and ncextr.

I am willing to advise any third-party efforts.
