I know that this is a FAQ, but the FAQ list's answer didn't help me very much. What I got from the FAQ was that NCSA has written an interface to netCDF in the HDF package. How does this affect a programmer? Does it mean that he can access all of the functionality of netCDF while only linking with the hdf library? Or does it mean that he can read from and write to either kind of file (hdf or netCDF) with one function call? I'm going to be writing a newsletter article on this software soon, and need to be able to describe the difference between these two packages and how they interact so that the users will be as non-confused as possible. Also, does anyone know if NCSA has some kind of support line? The documentation that came with their package is rather sparse, and I'd like to ask them if they've got anything better. Of course, if anyone on this list knows of any good documentation I'd be happy to hear from them as well. Thanks a lot, Kevin
