As you've noticed, their is something of a problem in FORTRAN with byte
values and whether or not they are signed. This should not, however,
cause problems with the netCDF library: you should be able to use it
as intended. Just remember that a FORTRAN BYTE is unsigned on some
machines and signed on others.
