-----------------------------------

1) you might want to use netcdf 3.5 instead. Its almost our standard version:

  ftp://ftp.unidata.ucar.edu/pub/netcdf/netcdf-3.5-beta3.ZIP

2) I suspect you need to recompile for VC6, but I'm not positive. The premade 
binaries are at
  ftp://ftp.unidata.ucar.edu/pub/netcdf/contrib/win32/netcdf-3.5.win32bin.ZIP. 
and you might want to give them a try first.

3) I'm appending a message from someone who successfully compiled under VC6 
without changing the 3.5 make file.  Get the 3.5 make files from
  
    
ftp://ftp.unidata.ucar.edu/pub/netcdf/contrib/win32/netcdf-3.5.win32make.ZIP

Thanks for the reply, Ive got netcdf v3.5 working on VC++ v 6.0 (Under Windows 
98) in an MFC application just fine(so far...). I did no modifications to the 
msoft.mak and when running the test in /nc_test i got no failures...My problem, 
Im embarrassed to say, was that i was not linking to the library in the project 
settings link tab. Also FYI, I was able to compile and run successfully an 
example program given in your support database - Subject: Re: 19990924:
