Thanks.  This change is incorporated into

  ftp://ftp.unidata.ucar.edu/pub/netcdf/netcdf-3.5.1-beta13.tar.Z

Yes, we occasionally have questions from people who have trouble with
Borland compilers when building netCDF libraries from source.  If you
have static libraries you could contribute, we would be grateful to
get a URL from where they could be downloaded or the actual libraries
to make available from our "contributed software" directory at 

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

Currently we have a "borland" folder there, but the libraries are from
1994!
