I'm afraid I don't recall any "cdf2ascii", but as part of the FAN utilities
package, there is an nc2text that converts netCDF values to text more
suitable for spreadsheets.  FAN is documented at

    http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/packages/netcdf/fan_utils.html

I just did an AltaVista search, and it found mentions of cdf2ascii at:

    http://www.sgp.arm.gov/mentor/siroscdf.shtml
    http://www.sgp.arm.gov/mentor/siros.html

so maybe someone there knows more about it.
