[netcdfgroup] netcdf-4 windows DLL may now be built from daily snapshot distribution of netCDF...

Howdy NetCDF Users!

Those who have been patiently waiting for a Windows build of netCDF-4
will be happy to learn that the latest netCDF snapshot can now be
build under VC++ 2008.

As yet only the netCDF core C library (the netcdf project) and the
nc_test test program (the nc_test project) are working in the solution
file. I'm still working on the utilities and other test programs.

Get the snapshot here:
ftp://ftp.unidata.ucar.edu/pub/netcdf/snapshot/netcdf-4-daily.tar.gz

Go to the win32/NET sub-directory and open the Visual Studio solution
file; build the netcdf and nc_test projects. (Only debug builds
have been tested, not yet release builds.)

This requires the HDF5 1.8.1 DLL, the szlib and zlib DLLs, and all
their accompanying header files in a C:\include directory. (Though
this location can be changed in the properties of the netcdf project).

Most windows users should wait until further work takes place, but
hard-core coders may wish to start working with the netCDF-4 DLL now,
and can do so by downloading the snapshot and building it. 

A full binary release will be announced when the DLL, utilities, and
tests are all working.

Thanks!

Ed
