We will be upgrading to HP-UX 10 in the next couple of weeks.  The
current version of our netCDF software should work on HP-UX 10 with
little or no change.

If you need it now, I'd recommend downloading netCDF 2.4.3 from

    ftp://ftp.unidata.ucar.edu/pub/netcdf/netcdf.tar.Z

and trying it.  If you have any problems, just send the relevant output
to address@hidden, and we may be able to determine what if
any changes are needed even before we upgrade.

I doubt if SGI executables would run on your HP, but you can use HP-UX 9
executables and libraries on HP-UX 10 platforms without recompiling or
relinking, according to the upgrade documentation from HP.
