I'm not sure what file you are referring to.  As far as I know, there is
no file named "netcdf_t.Z" on our FTP server.  There are some
Win32-specific binaries in the

  ftp://ftp.unidata.ucar.edu/pub/netcdf/contrib/win32/

directory.  A README file in that directory describes the files.  These
should work for Windows 95.

You shouldn't try to compile binary files, only C source files.  A
compiler can also be used to link compiled object files, so maybe that's
what you're referring to?
