[netCDF #ZDR-128646]: Ncfile for cpp

> Thank you for your reply.

The current status of the netCDF port to Windows is summarized in these two FAQ
entries for netCDF version 4 and version 4.1:

  http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/netcdf/docs/faq.html#windows_netcdf4
  http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/netcdf/docs/faq.html#windows_netcdf4_1

In short, building netCDF on Windows is not easy, and the easiest way to do it 
currently is with the Cygwin development environment, because with cygwin, you
can follow the same steps as for building netCDF on Unix.  The link below tells 
you
about building with cygwin, and also how to get prebuilt DLLs for earlier 
versions of 
netCDF, which are probably all you need if you want to read or write netCDF 
classic 
format files:
