Due to the current gap in continued funding from the U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF), the NSF Unidata Program Center has temporarily paused most operations. See NSF Unidata Pause in Most Operations for details.
Thank you for the answers I got concerning my two questions. My problems are not solved yets but I am now able to state the questions in a clearer fashion now: 1) For our applications we would need to read and write netCDF file from stdin and to stdout. Since netCDF routines may do seeks, this will probably cause problems. Anyway, at the moment there is no way to open a netCDF file via stdin because the file has to have a name. 2) In our applications we need more than one unlimitted dimension. As far as I see netCDF allows only one. Will there be changes in the future solving the two problems or could we solve them ourselves? Do others have these problems? Is anybody from Unidata listening? Gerhard Eckel IRCAM, Centre Georges Pompidou 1, place Igor Stravinksy F-75004 Paris / France eckel@xxxxxxxx
