Objective-C wrapper for netCDF



I have written Objective-C interfaces to the basic netCDF C-library. This started as a small piece of a larger project (reading chromatography data files), but I have expanded it to cover the full function of the netCDF library. As of version 0.4.1, I think it is ready enough to be tried by other people. The main features are:
* implements netCDF-3.6.1 or higher
* object-oriented interface
* reads, writes and creates netCDF data files
* Macintosh version provides an installable universal binary framework for OSX 10.3 or higher
* Linux-GNUstep version is source-only, and builds a shared library
* API documentation in HTML
* sample application for testing
* free open-source license


The packages are available at http://www.mt-se.com/nc-1 and you can also browse the documentation.

While this software has worked well for me, it has not been stress tested with big datasets or high-performance applications. I would like to see how well it stands up. Also, if there are any issues involving trademarks or licenses, I would appreciate those comments. The API has evolved over three years, and is still open to change; suggestions for improvements are welcome.

Cheers,
Mark Tracy
