I think compression is better left to external programs for the most part.
Could you modify ncopen() and ncclose() to automatically uncompress and
compress files? For instance, suppose you execute:
ncopen("foo.cdf", NC_WRITE);
and foo.cdf doesn't exist but foo.cdf.Z does. Would it be difficult to have
it pipe foo.cdf.Z through "uncompress -c" before presenting it to the user?
Oops, maybe this won't work, since netcdf doesn't deal well with pipes.
Hmmm...
