Hi Kevin,

The ncdump and ncgen utility programs are included as part of the netCDF
software package we distribute.  The source is available as a compressed
tar file from:

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

that contains instructions for building and installing it in an INSTALL
file.  Already built binary versions of the library and utilities are
also available for some platforms, from the directory

  ftp://ftp.unidata.ucar.edu/pub/binary/

Other freely-available and commercial software packages for visualizing
and manipulating netCDF data are described at
