[netCDF #AJD-911069]: NetCDF implementation with Intel Windows Fortran compiler

Are you setting all the same flags that you used to set?

It is strange that the DLL should not work for you. Nothing has changed about 
how DLLs work, as far as I understand the MS development environment. If the 
netCDF 3.5 DLL does not work, I don't think the problem is with the DLL but 
with the environment.

Did they build correctly?

Did you try to run the tests in the nf_test directory?

You have to build the C library with the correct flag set for Intel fortran. It 
is defined in the properties of the "netcdf" project in visual studio. It need 
to be set to pgiFortran, I believe.

Actually I have intel fortran and am trying to get it working as part of our 
daily test system.

Do you use intel fortran from the command line? Or with the GUI?

Sorry I could not be of more help.
